Platform is in the heart of the city so it is an excellent location for local shops, restaurants and bars being only a short 10 minute walk away. There are good transport links nearby such as the bus or train within 10-15 minutes and there is a small garage for parking if you own a car. There is no anti-social behaviour or traffic noise.

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

Incredibly well located relative to shops, public transportation and the Main Street but surrounded by green spaces makes it hard to believe it’s so central and quiet. Idyllic neighborhood. Never experienced anti-social behaviour or traffic noise in the 3 years I’ve resided here.

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

They have been responsive to my queries and communicate well. They do their best to hastily redress concerns and keep residents apprised of issues and progress.

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

I wish I’d known that some pieces of my furniture were too big for the elevator or to clear the stairwell into the corridor as those items were unable to be moved in. :-(

Exeters one of the best places to live in the countries. Shops are brilliants and so close to Dartmoor and the beach. University city with lots going for it.

They have responded very quickly and I appreciate it.
