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

I think the area is ideal, close to shops, parks and regular buses right out side the door. Lots of supermarkets are a very short walk and it's great to have Hove Station so close too for commuting.

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

They have been quick to respond and helpful if I've had anything I need support with.

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

Nothing, I was clear on everything. I think it needs more guest carparks.

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

The property itself has nearly everything. There is not much around, though. There is only a small cafè and a fish and chips shop within 5 minutes walk

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

Exceptional. I once reported a maintenance request. And I got a knock on my door within 10 minutes...

I wish I knew about that amazing BBQ place on the terrace before

MODA Hove Central is close to many supermarkets, walking distance to Waitrose, Lidl, Tesco, co-op and other little Asian food stores. It's also close to easy return points for Amazon if you purchase off amazon a lot. You can very easily get buses, trains and Uber which are all literally right there. There is a handy pet store next to Lidl and TK Max so you can easily walk to get various household items and pet items, which is incredibly handy when you don't have a car. Across the road from Lidl is Hove park, great for walks and park for kids. It's about a mile from the beach and a quick uber to Brighton central. It is such a convenient location! There is visitor parking here too, but it is a bit limited, probably parking is the only thing that can be a bit difficult if you don't rent an allocated park, but the side streets close by actually do have free parking that my friend used one time. All round super convenient location. And it is quiet at night, neighbors seem to be very respectful and friendly. The concierge staff are fantastic and always friendly and available to help 24/7.

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

I haven't had any big problems, but the small things I have needed have always been dealt with very quickly, friendly and communicative.

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

I cannot really think of anything that I wish I would have known before moving in, everything has been pretty well covered. I believe there is a WhatsApp group for the tenants, that I have not tried, it would probably be good.

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

The location is great - 10 minutes from Hove station and a good amount of restaurants/bars, as well as Hove Park. The neighborhood is quiet and more residential, with easy access to buses/trains into the main areas.

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

Maintenance requests are easy to submit and the team quick to respond.

We didn’t realise our building directly overlooks the train tracks and is extremely loud when the windows are open! We quickly got used to it but I imagine it’d be off putting to others; we rented sight unseen though, with a video walkthrough, so couldn’t have known and really isn’t a problem now.
