Excellent transport. Amazing restaurants. Beautiful surroundings. Best pubs in the area. Only downside is the noise and sirens from the main road - but it’s manageable!

How you're so close to the city, without feeling like you're in and amongst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Solasta is ideally located near the city centre, with shops and restaurants just a short walk away — making everyday convenience a real highlight. However, it's worth noting that on-site parking is limited, and I haven’t been able to park my car within the building. Despite this, the overall accessibility and vibrant surroundings more than make up for it.

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

I haven’t encountered any issues so far, so I haven’t needed to raise any concerns. That said, based on my experience with the management’s responsiveness and professionalism, I feel confident that any problems would be handled quickly and effectively.

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

My initial apartment had a view of the railway, which wasn’t something I could fully assess during the viewing. While the noise is barely noticeable during the day with the windows closed, it can be quite present at night — especially in summer when you might prefer sleeping with the windows open. Thankfully, the management was very understanding and quickly arranged for me to move to a quieter apartment after one month. For future tenants, I’d recommend asking about the apartment’s orientation and potential noise levels, especially if you're sensitive to sound.

Smack bang right in the middle of Ancoats the building is in a really good location for access to Northern Quarter, Ancoats and the rest of town. This comes with all the positive and negatives of living somewhere central, in the summer months it can get a bit loud but this is a sacrifice you'd have to be willing to make to live anywhere relatively close to the centre.

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

For the few problems I've had the team have been pretty responsive and resolved all issues, other than the window issue.

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

The gym isn't available as the previous business that operated the site closed a few months after I moved in. Anco&co haven't updated their site to reflect this so please bear this in mind whilst looking.
