Highly recommend living here management is brilliant, amenities are top-notch, and the free coffee is a lifesaver! Just be ready for the occasional ‘Heathrow jet soundtrack’ and a parking game of skill. Totally worth it though!”

I have not had any issues at present, but I did complete my entire application process remotely as I was in Ireland. Desmond Pinto was my coordinator, and he was just brilliant. Really attentive and friendly, gave me so much time and flexibility to make sure I understood everything. He went above and beyond for me in helping me view virtually, helping me with my references between the Irish and British groups. When I arrived, he also helped with my moving van and making it as seamless as possible. If it wasn’t for him, I’m sure I would’ve found the whole emigration process much more stressful!

The view of the nearby park is an added bonus to the flat Desmond showed me.
