The area offer plenty in terms of restaurants and shopping. The draw back is that there is often late night noise due to the proximity of pubs and night clubs.

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

Staff have been very nonchalant about any maintenance issue. They almost make you feel as though you are the problem for their lack of care.

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

Daily cannabis smoke filtering into the flat, consistent lift outages and high commute times. Disruptive co-working spaces. Most residents are foreign students with rent paid for by parents. This creates a lack of care for the shared spaces.

The independent food spots and supermarkets around Circle Square are so handy, and Symphony Park is a great green space to have on your doorstep. Plus, the bus links and Oxford Road station are right there, making it dead easy to get around. The only downside is that the immediate shops can be quite pricey, and traffic gets completely gridlocked during rush hour. The immediate streets are kept really clean and feel safe due to the 24-hour security. You don't have to worry about bins cluttering the pavement as it's all handled internally. However, street parking is non-existent, and you definitely get a lot of city and nightlife noise on weekends.

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

The staff at the front desk are fantastic at handling issues immediately. Whenever anything is logged through the building app, the team communicates clearly about when a technician will arrive, and they usually get it sorted the very same day. It makes living here incredibly stress-free.

Also, a top tip for anyone picking a room: if you love catching the early morning sun, make sure you ask for an apartment facing away from the main central courtyard, as those tend to get the warmer evening light instead.

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

The area is fantastic with lots of local amenities including bars, restaurants and plenty of supermarkets close by. It is also within short walking distance to the town centre and a stones throw away from Oxford Road train station. The square can get very loud and busy but closing your windows does a lot to drown out the noise, however this is not an option in the summer as the apartments do get very warm as there is no AC so keeping the windows open especially at night is a necessity.

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

Very good. Reception has always been on hand to help.

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

Definitely get yourself a good fan as the rooms do get very warm.

Amazing place to be, your have everything in close proximity. Only thing I would say is it can get noisy at night, especially on student nights,. I think Tuesday and Thursdays! Good transport links if you want to go out town too.

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

Yes, everything fixed on time when something broke.

Lol Ike I say can be noisy but any noise interal manager sorts

Great spot for uni. Circle Square has amazing food and it's only 10 mins to Chinatown. Oxford Road station is right outside, but don't bring a car—NCP parking is a total rip-off. The 35th-floor bar and study spaces are top-tier. Lifts get packed at peak times, but the 24/7 concierge team is a 10/10.

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

Yes responded to very quickly and no extra charge.

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

The flats get absolutely boiling in the summer because of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. The views are unreal, but definitely buy a decent fan early on.
