Apo at The Holloway, B1

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

A fantastic place to live with modern comforts, great light and space, and a positive community feel. While parking was a known drawback, it’s a temporary situation as the building is almost getting ready for this fall. I’d happily recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a bright, modern home in a friendly and evolving neighbourhood.

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

They were prompt in response to any issues I have faced. Always keep updating on things going on.

I was told every information while I was viewing like Pets not allowed, parking will be available later this year. Clauses and everything so no surprises at all. With benefit of Wifi included into rent which can be upgraded to higher plan for less margin. Freedom to choose your power supply provider. Overall Everything was awesome with very minimal issues.

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

Local access to the City centre means a lot of restaurants and bars are within walking distance, with the train station 10 minutes away for longer distances ,or plenty of busses also available nearby. There are multiple gyms as close as 1 minute walk away. Traffic is relatively busy which would make regular driving more difficult, but it won't be heard when inside due to good noise proofing. It is easiest to walk to most places.
