I’ve been at The Fernley, Square Gardens for a month and I’m loving it so far. The location is great with some great restaurants on and around First Street, close to deansgate-Castlefields tram station. Private but close to the action The only thing First street is lacking is a supermarket near by. There is a Sainsbury’s local which is close but not great for a big shop. I have opted to have my shopping delivered, which tends to be a lot easier but due to being a new development, delivery drivers tend to get lost.

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

My Tv was set to reset daily, this meant that I had to log into Google and Netflix every day, which was annoying. I spoke to reception who let me know that they can call someone in to fix it, but they also provided me with a code to reset myself. I reset the settings to keep me logged in with ease, took no more than 5 minutes to resolve. The team were lovely and are always happy to answer and questions/ queries.

I wish I had asked more about the area and restaurants/ shops nearby, especially about local supermarkets as this has been a learning curve for me as I was originally looking at apartments in Ancoats.
