I sometimes have problems with the buzzer which is annoying. I like the layout of the flat. My neighbours are very friendly and I know a lot of people who live here too. It was easy for me to make friends.

I have lived here for quite a while now and it has started to feel more like a home. For living in the city centre the price is average. I like the fact there is a lift as I struggle to use the stairs. I will hopefully be here for the next few years.

The building is maintained well overall apart from the elevator and main area which commonly require repairs. The main area is also fairly dirty and requires cleaning up. The night life around the area is very lively which is great if you’re interested in that but can be noisy if you’re not.

Nice individual apartments, but building maintenance is not always good. Not always very impressed with building management company. Not always very responsive or helpful. Better value than lots of similar places in Newcastle.
