The area is fantastic, I’ve lived in northern quarter/ancoats for a couple of years and absolutely love it

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

As mentioned before, some incredibly promptly and some with fairly vague answers and not for months, it’s hard to describe!

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

The windows don’t open which makes it incredibly hot in the summer, if you’re on a flat next to Romona you will be able to hear the music through your windows also

Swan street house has a perfect location for us, we are two students so need access to transport trams, busses and trains often all of these modes of transport are in walking distance of the flat we love it. There are loads of bars and restaurants in northern quarter and ancoats which we enjoy. We have chosen to park off site as parking within the building was too expensive however this did not effect our choice of apartment as we live the location and range of shops in the area.

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

They have helped us out straight away on move in day with any of our little hiccups.

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

I would have liked an appliance run down of what furniture is included within the flat, as we didn’t get to view our property before moving in . This was no issue at all.

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

Great location, within 5 minutes to the northern quarter and 10 minutes to Ancoats, lots of lovely restaurants, bars and cafes. A lovely vibe and very friendly people. Tram and bus stops are very local nd I have never had any issues with traffic noise or antisocial behaviour.

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

The staff have always been very friendly and helpful whenever assistance is needed.

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

Everything was as expected when I moved into the development

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

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

They did promise us about gym place "In Sept", but it is not there yet

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

Good is the walk to Tram Stop and City Centre Arndale. Bad is the fact only 25 car parking spaces are available when work requires a lot of driving you don’t have have the choice to pay for one.

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

Yes and any that were a problem have been fixed as soon as possible.

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

The WiFi is a shared network so if you have many SONOS speakers like myself you aren’t going to be able to use them on the ASK4 WiFi as it is a shared network.
