Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The property location is excellent with prime transportation options like train and coach stations all within 10 minutes’ walk. Living here is also relaxing and convenient with a large variety of cuisines and supermarkets nearby. Whilst the room facilities are fit for purposes., it would be even better if some of the old appliances in the resident rooms can be replaced with more up-to -date models to further enhance the living experience.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management is very helpful especially Kary Chung who is always kind and responsive in resolving our reported problems throughout the entire renewal process.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Understand more about the site’s immediate to medium term refurbishment and development plans in advance can help potential tenants to define their own rental strategy.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Modern apartments with amenities on-site (gym, concierge, communal spaces) with a central city lifestyle. There’s easy access to a wide variety of shops, restaurants, bars, cinemas/theatres. The building is pet-friendly, which is a big plus if you have pets.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management staff is friendly, professional and responsive. Issues or maintenance requests to be handled promptly. The on-site services (concierge, maintenance, resident team) help the shared spaces are maintained, and there is a sense that management actively keeps the building in good shape and care about the residents.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing major but want to know more about the opening time of gym room.
