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

The location is unbeatable. You have Coal Drops Yard right on your doorstep with endless options for food and shopping, and a Waitrose nearby for groceries. The transport links at King's Cross and St Pancras are obviously world-class, making it so easy to get anywhere in London or hop on the Eurostar. The canal walks are a lovely bonus for a weekend stroll.

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

Management has been very responsive. I haven't had many maintenance issues, but the one small query I had was sorted out the same day. The team, especially Mr. X, really seem to care that residents are happy and comfortable.

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

King's Cross is a brilliant place to live. Coal Drops Yard is right on our doorstep with excellent restaurants, independent shops, and bars - we're spoiled for choice. Granary Square and the Regent's Canal offer lovely green spaces and waterside walks, perfect for unwinding. Transport couldn't be better: King's Cross and St Pancras give you access to practically anywhere in London and beyond. The building is adjacent to the train tracks, so you'll occasionally hear trains, but the double-glazed windows do a great job of keeping it to a minimum—it's rarely noticeable inside. As for Author's itself—the concierge team are genuinely wonderful. They remember your name, handle deliveries with care, and consistently go above and beyond to help with anything we need. It's made a real difference to our experience here and we're very grateful for them.

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

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

Having both King's Cross and St Pancras on your doorstep is even more useful than it looks on a map. Eurostar weekends become dangerously tempting.
