Development is recently constructed so no moles and nothing even team does inventory check in before handing over the apartment and if anything is faulty they do repairs and then give it to you.You would find everything perfect here. Thanks for wonderful place.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I would say it is the best place to stay in that to in City Center with all the amenities and to do socialize. Traffic noise is not even much but you can see a beautiful view outside balcony.

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

I wasn’t aware about the social practices followed so nicely. I was told that they arrange get to get hers which I thought it is just for sake of doing it but it was actually meant and followed.

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

I was responded to all the queries raised immediately. Mr Abu also helped on the day we came here for the stay. Mattress was missing so when informed Mr Kishore he Immediately arranged to get the new one.

Love my apartment, well planned in terms of layout and spacious for a 1 bedroom! Building is kept well maintained and managed with a modern and clean design. Staff and team on the front desk and all so lovely and helpful! Only thing I could comment to improve would be to have a larger gym and maybe a social space?

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Perfect location near to so many amenities and only 5 mins walking distance to news street which makes commuting so easy! Whilst it’s so central it’s slightly off from the centre which means the noise is not a problem and it is very quiet with little anti social behaviour!

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

How ideal the location is and how close it is to amenities and ideal it is for commuting.

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

Not had any issues to raise yet been very happy with all services provided.

In addition to well organized, modern, well equipped apartments. Aston Place is managed by the most skilled, professional, kindest and most helpful team members. It feels like I am a member of a great loving family. Mr. Tahiliani (property manager) is always present, hands on and involved when needed. The lovely concierge team always welcome us with great smiles, they professionally manage sorting all active issues in a timely manner. Habiba and Kirsty are the best. They are the heart and soul of Aston Place. I have never met customer service providers who are working as hard to make our experience at Aston place better and unforgettable. A great big thank you to both of you.
The maintenance team are on time, efficient and skilled. The professional cleaners are on another level, they know all the bits and pieces to the place and will always work according to your preference with so much care and attention.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

One of the best features of Aston place is it’s location. It’s 5 minutes away from the New Street station. Surrounded by multiple facilities such as The Mailbox, The Bullring, The Grand central and many more.
It is a fully supplemented semi furnished serviced apartments.I personally feel safe and comfortable knowing there’s a 24 hour concierge present at the property front desk, it complements Aston place even more.

The gym could do with leg press machine and some heavier DB. The only other point to mention are the lifts, could do with another 2 really for the amount of people living here.
The building itself is clean and tidy and the concierge team are always happy to help.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Great place to live and only a stones throw away from the New Street station, the shops and bars. Traffic can be noisy at times but that’s city centre living.

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

Traffic noise but you get used to it.

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

I reported some problems which were resolved quickly by the management team.

At the beginning, one member of the managing team showed me the property, it went beyond my expectation. I decided to rent the property. I loved the design especially the facilities in the buiding. Moreover, Kishor- the manager is very nice and considerate. I love the way he does his job.

I really love the place because there are a lot of shops nearby. I can find almost everything I need.

When my dish washer was not working. The manager came immidiately to help me fix it.

The apartment is even better than we could have imagined. It really is an example of 5 star living. Apartments are high spec with stylish furniture to meet. Staff are fantastic and are very helpful. With on-site gym, parking, leisure areas, parking you couldn’t hope for anymore. Also a great range of discounts found on the Dandara tenant portal.

Centrally located and located close to new street station. Great local amenities from shopping to dining. It really is a fantastic location.

A well run establishment perfectly located for city living.

Well managed. The building with 22 floors could have done with more than two elevators. Waiting for the elevator during peak times can be a little frustrating. The bin area can also get a little bit smelly but probably to be expected. Waste disposal shoots might be an idea for any future build.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Conveniently located for all amenities. Traffic can be a little noisy if the window is left open (emergency services). On the whole though a very well run building. Staff are polite and accommodating.

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

Traffic noise might have been an issue if I had visited the apartment.

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

Promptly and professional carried out by competent knowledgeable staff.
