Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in central London can be quite daunting but granary square being extremely close makes it worthwhile, lots of shops and clean parks.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Excellent, it's almost like living in a 5 star hotel.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Heating and cooling can work out quite expensive - but other than that all good.

Living at Author has been a wonderful experience. The building is stylish, modern, and designed with comfort in mind. The apartments are well laid out and equipped with excellent features, including complimentary Wi-Fi, underfloor heating, and cooling system. Overall, Author provides a fantastic balance of modern living, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's a great place to call home and one I would happily recommend to others.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
A special mention goes to Ernest, who is an excellent maintenance technician. He is friendly, professional, and always goes above and beyond to ensure any issues are resolved efficiently and to a high standard..
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One point worth noting is that setting up Council Tax can be a little confusing at first, as the development falls across both Camden and Islington council boundaries. Depending on the apartment, responsibility may sit with either council. It's worth checking which council your apartment is registered, If you're unsure, the concierge team will be happy to assist and point you in the right direction.

Author King's Cross provides a welcoming, well-maintained, and peaceful living environment. One of the standout features is the excellent selection of resident amenities, including the gym, co-working spaces, cinema room, and garden kitchen with private dining facilities. These spaces are always kept in great condition and add real value to everyday life. What makes this place truly special is the outstanding level of customer service. Darek and the entire team consistently go above and beyond to support residents, responding quickly and professionally to any queries or requests. Their dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care create a community atmosphere that is difficult to find elsewhere. Living at Author King's Cross has been a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality rental accommodation in a great location.

The management team is exceptionally responsive and attentive. Every request I have raised has been handled promptly, with professionalism and a genuine commitment to finding the best possible solution. Their proactive approach ensures that residents always feel valued, supported, and well looked after, contributing greatly to the overall living experience at Author King's Cross.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I didn’t fully appreciate before moving in was the value of the communal spaces and resident events. As someone settling into London, these have made a real difference in helping me meet new people and feel connected to the community.
