Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in my local area has its strengths and weaknesses. On the plus side, there’s a decent range of local shops, with a mix of independent stores and larger chain, though some could benefit from better variety of restaurants and coffee shops Transport links are fairly convenient, with regular bus services to city centre but services can be less reliable during peak times and weekends. Parking on my street is often a challenge, and building offers chargeable expensive parking
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
They increased our rent £300 and did not accept any less No on site management to complain to when needed bad housekeeping, corridor barley get cleaned and smells bad all the times
What is the best feature of your home:
Very close to my university night concierge keeps us safe

Great location - walking distance to the city center

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great location - walking distance to the city center. The built in pub is a great addition and amenity for residents. Can get a bit noisy if you live in one of the units that face the Main Street. Parking availability is also very limited. Security needs regular review and potential improvement due to break ins in the past.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I didn’t expect that many break-ins in the apartment complex itself. Also, that it would take so long for some facilities to get repaired, such as lifts and gym equipment. Overall, decent place to live though due to the location.
What is the best feature of your home:
The best feature is the main bedroom in a corner unit, as it is very spacious.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Neighbourhood is generally nice, there is a corner shop directly across which is very accessible. There are a handful of restaurants on Oxford Road near the uni area, however the journey into city centre is quite easy if you are looking for more options. There are multiple bus stops on the main road, and the walk/ car journey is also fairly short.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I did not realise there is someone working at reception 24/7; this is quite helpful as I work night shifts occasionally, although I rarely require their help it is nice to know they are there if needed. It has also happened once or twice where people who weren’t residents tried entering the building at night time, but fortunately the reception staff were there to stop them.
What is the best feature of your home:
Lovely and welcoming entrance area, always clean and smells nice with good music playing too

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Local area is good as it's a short walk into the city center. Not noisy, pubs around, corner shops... No parking, however, which is very annoying for me and guests. While this was never promised, and the flat was purchased with this knowledge, it is awkward that the best value place to park long term is across the junction at the Stay inn hotel and for short term is £10 a day at GM car park next door.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It's always warm without heating. The sound carries very easily down the long hallway in my flat into the master bedroom.
What is the best feature of your home:
Always warm without putting the heating on. Balcony view is nice.
