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

Location/travel - Amazing for commuting to Bristol city centre. Quick walk to the train station, local cafes and very convenient having a Sainsbury’s in the building. However very long waiting list for a parking space and expensive so would recommend not having a car as public transport is so easy. Not much green space in the local area but would recommend a quick walk to castle park, a train to Bath or a bus to the Clifton downs for some fresh air! Noise - On the top floor we didn’t experience any traffic/construction noise at all and loved how quiet the flat was for wfh and couldn’t hear our neighbours at all. Quite a few homeless people on the streets outside the building but didn’t have any bad experiences with them personally. Views - Really really recommend the top floor flats facing North/East as the views were such a highlight for us (see pictures!)

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

Maintenance team responded quickly and fixed any issues easily.

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

You don’t need a car as the location is so central and parking is limited and expensive.

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

There is a good Sainsbury’s close by that has a good selection of things, larger supermarkets like Tesco, larger Sainsburys and Asda not far either. Really central and walking distance for getting to a selection of bars, restaurants, and the station. Also have Castle Park and Harbourside close by. Parking is limited and quite expensive for onsite but you can at times get parking outside the building (paid/unpaid). A larger long stay car park also just across the way. Noise is not an issue at all for me however 10th floor.

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

Dealt with promptly - only had one minor issue to do with furniture that I had not spotted at move in and inspection stages.

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

Making clear the cost of parking but this is very minor and once asked it was clear. It could be this was included in documentation and my oversight. Another nice addition might be a little brochure on local amenities for those really new to the city and area…more of a nice touch as can all be found on google!

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

Very convenient location with a grocery shop and cafe right downstairs. Walking distance to the city centre and train station.

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

In general very quick response regarding the issues in the apartment.
