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

No bad aspects! All facilities are lovely and well kept! Rooms and communal areas are immaculate. Loads of choices for shops and restaurants nearby and great transport links with Piccadilly and Victoria station only 10 or so minutes away.

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

The App makes it really easy to sort any issues we have. Response time is great.

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

When we moved in, we were well informed about everything so knew everything we needed to know when we decided to move in.

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

I moved in almost 5 years ago and have to say it was the best think I have ever done. Being a first time renter I wasnt sure what to expect. I knew the area as it was the first place I ever had a job after leaving college although it was a different kind of place and not at all as trendy as it is now. You dont need to go very far for shopping, food or drinks. The down side about the area is that the new traffic system put in place causes a nightmare at peak times with very little parking in the area. Overall however, it is a great part of the city to live in.

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

Once any issue has been raised the team on site have been very proactive and done their best to sort out any matters very quickly.

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

The fact that everything was explained very very well before I actually moved in was great. Nothing was left out so I am very happy.

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

Location couldn’t be better… somehow in the city centre but also in what feels like our own little Ancoats village! Lots of bars, restaurants and shops nearby. Bin collections tend to happen at unsociable hours (5-6am).

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

Any issues within our flat have been responded to promptly (where applicable)! Ongoing issues include the faulty wiring affecting the oven/hob and the faulty windows.

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

That the gym wouldn’t be a permanent feature of the building.

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

We love being so close to the marina, and to all the shops, bars and restaurants. It’s only a five minute walk to Piccadilly gardens and train station.

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

We’ve had a couple of very minor issues and they were dealt with straight away.

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

Slight issues with window condensation causing little pools of water

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

Living in this area is honestly amazing. The best area in town. It’s so close to town that everything feels easy – shops, food spots, and things to do are all just a quick walk away. There are loads of good places to eat, and the neighbourhood has a really friendly, local vibe that makes it feel comfortable and homely. If there’s anything not-so-great, it’s probably just that it can get a bit busy at times because it’s so close to town, and parking isn’t always the easiest.

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

The building management has been great whenever I’ve had any issues. They’re quick to respond, genuinely helpful, and always try to sort things out as smoothly as possible. It never feels like a hassle to reach out to them, and they keep you updated so you know exactly what’s happening. They're awesome!

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

One thing I wish I’d known before moving in is how much the people here shape the whole experience. You don’t really realise it on a viewing, but once you’re living here, you see how friendly and open everyone is. Getting to know your neighbours early genuinely makes a huge difference!
