Fantastic accommodation and staff to match

The building is superbly well designed, very modern and spacious with excellent furnishings/facilities. I find it extremely comfortable to live here. A big concern prior to moving in was wether it would be too noisy and interfere with my work but for a city centre building it is surprisingly quiet from external noise whilst their is essentially no internal noise, I often question if I have neighbours as it’s that silent. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have a peaceful sleep. The bed the building provided is extremely comfortable and high quality too.

Since moving in the staff have been nothing short of superb, they resolve all issues quickly and efficiently and there always so welcoming and friendly when you come into the building, especially Jennifer and Ellie.

Ultimately I could write a lot of positive feedback for this building as it has really become my home when I had only intended to stay for 4 months originally, but now I’m nearing a year of stay! My friend even moved in as well based on my recommendation I rate here that highly.

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

Sitting between the Albert docks and the city center the building offers me extremely quick access to the vibrant social scene as well fantastic transport links essential to my work.

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

Take the time to explore the city, I made the mistake of starting a job the moment I arrived and didn’t realise just how much Liverpool has to offer until much later than I should of. Fantastic city with fantastic people.

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

After a year of living in the building the tv provided by the building ceased to work, I emailed Ellie at the front desk on my way to work, she replied within the hour and kindly had a replacement fitted by the time I was home.

The definition of ‘Home from home’

I could write all day about the fantastic experience I have had at The James so Far. After being let down by another building, The James came to my rescue and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else now. I live in the Medium Studio, which is gorgeously designed, perfect for my requirements and big enough for when my partner or friends occasionally stay over! My studio flat feels so luxurious, which matches the rest of the interior of the building including reception and the hallways. The location is ideal, with shops/city living to the right of the building and the waterfront to the left! Jenny and Ellie (Manager/Concierge) have made me feel so welcome since I moved in and are accommodating to every one of my needs.

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

So close to bars/restaurants/shops and only a 15 minute walk to local train stations! The only downside to my studio in particular is the noise generated by the bins being emptied in the morning from the Wetherspoons below the building, although I have rearranged my flat meaning the bed is now at the window so I can’t complain! It is only once a week so is not an issue really. No issues at all however with traffic or any antisocial behaviour outside or around the building.

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

I wish I would have known I was able to move around furniture etc. I think a lot of people may see the layout of the studio’s and feel like they have a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and just an office which may put people off renting here. I have re-arranged my medium studio to make a gorgeous living space area!

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

The staff are very communicative, emails with queries are responded too usually within the same day.

An excellent place to call home

It is immediately apparent upon entering The James that careful attention has been given to the overall feel of the building. Soft, natural tones accented by the deep brand green nurture a sense of calm and quality. The management is excellent and the building is well maintained and staff are approachable and friendly. Star of the show is Ellie Cheetham, who hosted my initial viewing, and has been on hand since to handle any queries I might have. If you’re looking for somewhere to call home in Liverpool, you’ve found it.

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

It’s very central, with easy access to plenty of bars, restaurants, pubs, clubs and shops. For anything further afield, the train station is just across the street. A very nice place to live.

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

There’s nothing I can add. All of my expectations have been met.

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

Regular checks are carried out. Recently, they spotted an issue with the shower seal, so minor that I had not even noticed it. They really are on top of things.
