Argo Apartments, E16

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

There’s a good mix of nearby shops, cafes, and a varied dining scene, plus open spaces and excellent convenience since it’s right opposite the train station, with reliable buses and easy travel, but the bin disposal requires going outside which is inconvenient, and occasional traffic noise can disrupt quiet evenings. I love the convenience and the station opposite, but I don’t like having to go outside to dispose of the bin.

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

Great restaurants around the area and amazing coffee shop with the best coffee. The tube station is only 2 minutes walking distance from the building. The bad side of the area is the noise level... there's always loud noise in the street (drilling noise, construction noise, people shouting, etc.), so bear this in mind if you like living in a peaceful environment. Even if you keep your windows closed, you will hear the noise!

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

Building management is often responsive, but there are a few issues in the building that are still unresolved.

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

Loud street noise and lots of pigeons in the area (which always go to our balconies too, creating a mess!!)

The building management is usually very responsive. I haven't had any major issue in my flat, so I can't provide examples.
