Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Perfect area! Lots of shops, restaurants and activities to do around the flat. Super easy for trains, not far from the airport and great for bus stops. Noise is not too bad and can’t complain when you are in city centre

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Whenever we log a maintenance issue it gets resolved within maximum 48 hours

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Maybe the windows not being able to fully open as it can get very hot in there!
