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

The shops and open spaces are great, transport links are good. Only notes I would have is that our street (Tinsmith street) can often get very noisy at night with speeding cars and people smoking on the street outside it would be appreciated if security could frequently check this and ask people to politely move on/if residents on floors higher up can be reminded that loud shouting / music in early hours of the morning is often disturbing if you have work the next day. The really frustrating part is that parking permits aren’t given out for visitors - this would be great if they could be as local parking is so expensive.

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

The management - concierge in particular have been nothing short of amazing. Cosmin and Vasileia in particular have been outstanding, they take such pride in their roles, always greet you with a smile and their friendliness, willingness to help, passion and warm energy really make this place feel safe, reminds you you’re cared for and make it feel familiar and homely. The whole concierge team are great but those two in particular are a testament to brilliant customer service. Whether taking the time ask follow up questions when speaking to them about your day, going the extra mile to personally show you where something is or consistently showing they truly care about our experience as residents and people. I cannot praise those two enough and really think they deserve their efforts recognised and resident appreciation made known. Also shout out to Mohsen who has always been very friendly.

It would’ve been great to have been shown how all utilities work but Cosmin and Vasileia made sure that we were well looked after.

A direct bus (390) about 10m from the apartment makes travels to and from the city very convenient. A 10 minute walk to the canal areas that is very lively with shops , cafes and pubs. Kids walked 15 minutes from Kings Cross station frequently.

Very fast response and able to answer our questions.

Provide shower gel. Hygienic instead of sharing soap bar. Good to inform in the information deck for us to bring our own shower gel. Install bidet in the WC.

It’s a really nice area! There aren’t that many shops, restaurants, or bars open yet, but from what I’ve seen, lots more are due to open soon, so it’s definitely developing. The only downside is the parking. The Maple offers parking spaces, but they’re not free, and because of the building, Barnet Council won’t issue a resident parking permit. Other than that, it’s a great place to live. There are plenty of facilities, the development is beautifully designed, and there’s a 24-hour concierge team who are always friendly and happy to help.

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

Whenever I had any questions about the facilities or needed any information, Cosmin was always happy to help and guide me. Cristi gave us a great induction when we moved in, explaining how to use all the facilities and making sure we felt settled. If you ever have an issue or an emergency, they’re always friendly, approachable, and willing to help in any situation. Their support really makes you feel welcome and well looked after.

The only thing we weren’t aware of before moving in was the free parking situation. The Maple does offer parking spaces, but they come at an additional cost which we was informed from the beginning . Parking can also be quite difficult for visitors if you want free of charge , so if friends or family come to see you, it can be a bit of a challenge. Another thing to be aware of is the building’s security. If someone is visiting, you’ll usually need to go down to let them in, as they can’t access the lifts on their own for security reasons. Visitors can contact the concierge using the buzzer, but I don’t believe the concierge can grant lift access, so you’ll still need to meet your guests. While it can be a little inconvenient at times, it’s also reassuring to know the building takes residents’ security seriously.
