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

Living in my local area has its strengths and weaknesses. On the plus side, there’s a decent range of local shops, with a mix of independent stores and larger chain, though some could benefit from better variety of restaurants and coffee shops Transport links are fairly convenient, with regular bus services to city centre but services can be less reliable during peak times and weekends. Parking on my street is often a challenge, and building offers chargeable expensive parking

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

Neighbourhood is generally nice, there is a corner shop directly across which is very accessible. There are a handful of restaurants on Oxford Road near the uni area, however the journey into city centre is quite easy if you are looking for more options. There are multiple bus stops on the main road, and the walk/ car journey is also fairly short.

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

I did not realise there is someone working at reception 24/7; this is quite helpful as I work night shifts occasionally, although I rarely require their help it is nice to know they are there if needed. It has also happened once or twice where people who weren’t residents tried entering the building at night time, but fortunately the reception staff were there to stop them.

What is the best feature of your home:

Lovely and welcoming entrance area, always clean and smells nice with good music playing too

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

Living on my street offers a fairly balanced mix of convenience and community. There’s a good range of local shops, independent cafes, and restaurants within walking distance, offering a variety of cuisines and price points. Bars are lively but not overwhelming, and open green spaces like the nearby park provide a welcome escape. Transport links are generally reliable with bus stops and a train station nearby, though peak-time overcrowding can be an issue. Parking can be tight, especially in the evenings, and while bin collections are usually punctual, occasional missed pickups do happen. Anti-social behaviour is rare, though weekend noise from passing traffic or late-night pedestrians can be noticeable. Overall, it’s a vibrant and fairly convenient place to live.

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

The window in my room cannot open which makes my room really hot during summer time

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is the large, south-facing windows that flood the space with natural light throughout the day.

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

My area is very quiet and cozy, with a friendly neighborhood vibe. There’s a convenience store just around the corner, which makes shopping for daily essentials easy. There’s also a great Northeastern Chinese restaurant nearby with authentic flavors and good value. Rubbish is well-managed with regular collections, and the streets are clean. It’s peaceful with little to no noise or anti-social behavior, making it a really comfortable and pleasant place to live.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the ventilation inside the flat isn’t ideal. It can feel a bit stuffy at times, especially when the windows are closed. I’d recommend future residents to check air circulation carefully during viewings.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is the spacious layout, which provides a comfortable living environment. The natural light that floods the rooms makes the space feel bright and welcoming. It’s perfect for relaxing and spending time with family or friends.
