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

Living here is literally so handy for uni and town. Loads of decent food spots and bars right downstairs, and Symphony Park is great to chill in when it's sunny. Transport is spot on – Oxford Road station is like a two-minute walk and the buses are constant. Downsides: parking is basically non-existent and well expensive. It gets quite loud on the weekends, but you expect that living in the centre. The building sorts all the bins out so you don't even have to think about it, and security are always about so there's no real hassle.

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

Honestly, they've been brilliant. If something breaks, you just report it and the maintenance guys are usually up to fix it the exact same day. There's no hassle at all, and they actually get it sorted properly the first time instead of just doing a quick patch job.

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

I wish I had known to factor in the lift times in the mornings! When everyone is rushing out for 9am lectures, it can take a few minutes to get down to the ground floor, so definitely leave your flat five minutes earlier than you think you need to. On the plus side, I wish I'd known how much free food and drinks they actually give out at the communal events. Definitely keep an eye on the noticeboards downstairs because getting involved genuinely saves you a fortune on takeaways!

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

Buses every minute, trains every 20 mins and Ubers obviously available everywhere. Northern quarter is great place to go and would steer away from Piccadilly as quite rough. We are on Oxford road so can be quite busy especially with all students.

Yes, not had many but they fixed when I raised them.

I wanted higher floor and they said was available and then when I came to pay and sign it wasn't so had to go for lower floor!

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

Yes issues been raised over my time and resolved. I did wait 7 days once for washing machine issue
