Local Blackfriars, M3

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

Great location - walking distance to the city center. The built in pub is a great addition and amenity for residents. Can get a bit noisy if you live in one of the units that face the Main Street. Parking availability is also very limited. Security needs regular review and potential improvement due to break ins in the past.

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

I didn’t expect that many break-ins in the apartment complex itself. Also, that it would take so long for some facilities to get repaired, such as lifts and gym equipment. Overall, decent place to live though due to the location.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature is the main bedroom in a corner unit, as it is very spacious.

I absolutely love living here! The pub and cafe downstairs are amazing and offer a discount for local residents. It’s a 5/10 minute walk to get into the city centre which is very convenient for transport. I’ve lived all over Manchester and this area feels extremely safe, I’ve not experienced any anti-social behaviour in the year of living here. As for the staff, they couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. Before I moved in I was quite worried about the traffic noise from the main road but I can’t hear a thing through the windows and I sleep great. I would recommend local Blackfriars to anyone wanting to live in Manchester City centre!

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

I wish I’d have known more about the facilities, when being shown around we didn’t get to see the development’s facilities.

What is the best feature of your home:

The lay out of the apartment is perfect for me and my partner. There’s so much storage space which is great for us.

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

Great views, modern apartments, nice neighbours and it is very close to city centre. Would definitely recommend!

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

I wish I had read reviews for Urbanbubble, what a horrible company.

What is the best feature of your home:

Beautiful flat with amazing views, truly stunning!

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

Perfect location, 10 mins into town, 15 to deansgate/spinngfields, very quiet area. Local pub but you can hardly hear them. No parking but you can use street parking, lidl down the road, I cannot recommend the location!!

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

I think because I moved from across the road, I knew pretty much everything

What is the best feature of your home:

bathroom! Juliet bathroom which can be accessed from bedroom for easy access and for guest - so they don’t have to go through the bedroom

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

This area is a lovely place to live, although living next to a main road it’s reasonably quiet and I can never hear neighbours. Conciege is great and facilities are also great.

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

There is nothing I wish I had known as I feel I got all the information needed prior to moving in.

What is the best feature of your home:

I love the space and the bathroom is also gorgeous.
