I wish I’d known just how responsive and caring the management team would be it would’ve made the decision to move in even easier. It’s also worth knowing how convenient the location is, with excellent transport links, great local restaurants, and shops all close by. The building is very quiet inside despite being in a lively area, and there’s a strong sense of community among residents. Overall, I’d tell anyone considering Author that it truly stands out because of its people and the quality of life it offers.

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

The wine dispenser downstairs is often faulty - it might be better to replace it with something else. The facilities are also very expensive to book out (especially given the fact that you're paying a premium to live at Author) and the price increased substantially in the time that we lived there. They often go unused, which is a shame.
