don’t forget to allow some extra time for cleaning the apartment when you’re moving in. there is a cleaning service before every move-in, but you’ll probably still need to clean some parts yourself

There are plenty of great cafés, restaurants, and two food halls nearby, so you'll have lots of options to choose from. The location is super convenient too, with New Street Station and bus stops just around the corner. You're also only a short walk from the Bullring and Tesco Express, making shopping and day-to-day essentials really easy.

The location is excellent and very convenient, right in the city centre. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and supermarkets nearby, and public transport is easily accessible. Overall, it is a very convenient area to live in. And I hope the parking lot could be used asap.

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

The reception staff are always friendly and helpful when I raise an issue. However, the maintenance response could be faster. For example, I reported a broken light in my apartment around two weeks ago, but it has still not been repaired.

I wish I had known about the ongoing renovation work, as it can sometimes be quite noisy during the day. I also did not realise how much the film on the windows would affect the view. It would be much nicer if this could be removed once the renovation work is completed.
