I love the coffee machine in the residents lounge and having free access to the gym and meeting room.

The view from our view on the 1st floor overlooking Erie Basin is spectacular.

The overall design of our apartment is excellent but I do wish there was more storage available as I had to buy two sets of draws for my room despite it being furnished. Would be great for minimalists.

Great system for collecting parcels!

Stylish design. Really friendly concierge staff. Great coffee machine in the lounge. Gym is free for residents.

Social events have sadly stopped since covid. The meeting room can’t be booked in the evenings anymore. Hoping this will change back soon.

I wish I had known I would need to buy more storage for my bedroom.

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

One of our toilets has been leaking for over 2 weeks now, a plumber did come but has yet to return with a part that was needed.

The area is disappointing for a property marketed as Canary Wharf. Yes, Canary Wharf is just across the water but still a good 15 min walk to across at least two bridges. The South Quay DLR is conveniently near but any commute into London will require a couple changes or a good walk to get to the Jubilee or Elizabeth lines.
Marsh Wall is a busy street with cars at all times of the day and the occasional idiot speeding down at full speed in a noisy sports car. There’s a quaint little park just outside the building but unfortunately smells of rotting rubbish most days. Floors 1-15 belong to a separately-managed development with some antisocial residents that although they have a separate entrance will occasionally make scenes in the lobby and have at times been violent to the concierge staff and residents of the more luxurious higher flats. In addition, most residents in the higher floors are foreign students living as if it where university accommodation and hence the whole building including the communal areas feel like college dormitories and common rooms.

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

The quality of the design and how uncomfortable the temperatures inside can be. Also the noise the building makes when it rattles in the wind. The other residents being mostly foreign students with little decorum or regard for community living make it an uncomfortable commute from entrance to your home.

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

It is impossible to communicate with them. No replies to emails and the phone number given to me does not exist.

I have been living with my wife and 2 kids in duet for about a year now, I have had a great experience with courteous team, amazing people, beautiful location and some really memorable parties/events. My 5 year old daughter loves the place and was vocal in wanting to stay here for long. The locality is amazing with great theatre, pubs, restaurants, canal and great open places. There’s a lot for everyone to be excited and engaged. I would personally recommend Duet and this location to anyone and everyone wanting to live in Manchester. The closeness to city centre adds the charm.

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

I wish I had known about Duet earlier – I’d have moved in before 🙂

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

The building management is super fast and extremely quick in resolving any issues you may have. They have a great team who are always on hand and support with great care.

They have worker to clean the environment every day, the lobby is very tidy.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I think the transportation is very good that near the metrolink station. Beside, the view of the department is nice. I can see the Manchester United stadium directly. Outside environment of the building is the main reason attract me to rent over 1 year here.

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

The building should detail list out which necessary is provide and not provided, for example the pillow or mirror

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

Sure, the building having an app for residence to report the maintenance need.
