The James is ideally situation in Liverpool City Centre. Only a minutes walk from the Strand/Albert Docks. Only a couple minutes walk to Liverpool One and the main shopping, dining and entertainment areas. Also regarding transport there is a train station literally across the road and the Liverpool One bus depot only 5 minutes walk away. While it's a busy area there's no anti social behaviour and noise is tolerable and it is a city centre. Perfect location to live literally minutes from everything you could need or want.

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

I have had no issues at all since I moved in. However anything that has needed attention anywhere in the building has been addressed rapidly in what I have seen so if I do have any issues in future I am confident in how quickly they will be prioritised and resolved.

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

I wasn't aware of all the various groups set up online as part of creating the community feel and there are such a wide variety of interests included there. Also the residents Whatsapp group and some subgroups (interests) is fantastic too. All adds to the community feel which you can engage in as much or as little as you want. It all adds to the appeal of what The James Liverpool offers.

The building is right in the city center with access to a lot of eating outlets and shops in the vicinity. Ample connectivity to various parts of the town by buses and trams. The street side view might get a bit noisy for some people during the weekends but is not a problem for me. The property is in the heart of the city so there is no parking available. There is a temporary spot in front of the building.

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

The building management responds to any issues very promptly which is perfect!

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

The size of the kitchen area is a bit smaller which everyone might not be comfortable with.

The building is in the heart of Sheffield and surrounded by culture in every direction. You can find local supermarkets, coffee shops, museums and much more all within walking distance. The transport links are second to none, the tram stop is within walking distance as well bus links to various parts of Sheffield. With the building being on West Street, some weeknights and the weekends come to life with bars and restaurants within a stone throw.

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

All and any issues I have ever raised, including personal issues have been dealt with compassion and understanding.

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

Everything that is needed to know about the building or contracts or rent and prices was explained to me really well before moving here and I can’t say there are any questions or things that I needed to know more about as staff did a great job of covering more than just the basics.

The location is perfect, with everything you need just a short walk away. Given there is a bar right underneath the apartment. It would be great if noise levels would be kept down during working hours. Especially on a Friday for residents working from home.

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

I raised an issue with one of my light bulbs going out in my living room casually on my way into the apartment. It was near the end of the day but the team were able to respond quickly and fixed the issue in under 15 minutes. Really helpful and responsive!

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

The staff can speak multiple languages so being able to converse and relay my thoughts to the staff in my native language makes me feel so comfortable.

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

Living on West Street as a student is so brilliantly convenient, I am always close to campus, the centre and the socials! We're spoilt for choice with transport stops, and there's a Tescos just two buildings down as well as a choice of many other shops, bars and restaurants. The only issue is with being so close to the clubs and tram stops it is possible to hear the music/tram horns however this is not as prominent as one might think.

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

There hasn't been many issues to report to be honest but when I first moved in I did need some assistance with using the electrics, and Clive came by and very patiently explained everything to me.

One thing you do not get to realise in a viewing because you're only in the room for such a short time is that it heats up very quickly, I would seriously recommend bringing a fan with you for the summer months.
