Perfect place to live
I love how safe the building feels, everyone is friendly and helpful especially the management team. No query is too big or too small, the facilities are fantastic too and the communal area is well kept and very welcoming. The building is so quiet too once inside.

Amazing Stay experience in a modern fully equipped studio apartment
All the essential utilities are well accommodated in the houses even in a studio apartment. Building has some good facilities such as mail rooms & communal area and the security of the building is really good.
The most impressive part of the stay is the quick response to any questions/issues raised with the resident team. They extend all support to make your stay comfortable and there is an assurance that help is available always.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
All the local shops, numerous restaurants, supermarkets such as Sainsbury, Tesco & Waitrose are just 5 minutes away. All shopping and groceries are nearby. The Bus stop is just opposite the building and station is at a 10 minutes walk so transport connectivity is really good.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing in particular as everything is quite clearly displayed during the viweing and nothing changes when you actually move in
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building Management & Resident team has a very good turn around time in responding back to any questions/issues raised. Each issue has been addressed properly in a very organized way.
Great place to live! They make renting easy
Property management is fantastic, very helpful and quick to deal with any problems. The flats themselves are well built and well arranged so even a 1 bed apartment is reasonably spacious. The facilities are great, there is a good space to work and relax upstairs, and a communal balcony which is great during building-hosted events.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Great location nearby the highstreet which has most shops/restaurants/pubs that you would need, in addition to the fact it is literally a 3 minute walk to Maidenhead station, which has great transport links into London, and other parts of the UK
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The only challenge is sometimes the high street can be noisy, simply due to this building’s very central location.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Brilliantly, they are very prompt to deal with any issues, and often make an effort to fix things on the same day if it’s possible.

Overall really good but really hot in the afternoon
I think in terms of design it’s great. The 14th floor is amazing to hang out and chill and the rooms are well designed. The building management is great, very helpful and responsive. I would say it would be nice to have an app or something like this to track our expenses for exemple
