The Gessner, N17

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

The location is very convenient, with the station only a 2-minute walk away and central London reachable by underground in around 15 minutes. There are several grocery options nearby, including Lidl, Asda, Tesco, and Asian grocery stores. However, restaurant choices in the immediate area are relatively limited.

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

They responded very quickly, either by email or phone.

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

Restaurant choices nearby are somewhat limited, but the excellent grocery options and quick transport links make day-to-day living very convenient. The Victoria line is usually the best way to reach central London, so if it is affected by strikes, the journey can take much longer.

Marco has been great since he started, always keeping us updated and is very approachable. He has been a great addition to the team

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

Delays with heating repairs which isn't ideal. The engineer came once but didn't quite fix the issue so he had to turn up again. With commercial resident buildings, the heating can be an issue and some can be complex

Hark! Of mine humble corner of Tottenham Hale shall I speak true. The shops and taverns thereabouts are passing fair — a goodly market doth furnish bread and flesh, and yon Walthamstow Wetlands offer such tranquil prospect as would soothe the most troubled brow. The Victoria line, swift as Mercury himself, conveyeth one unto the heart of the city in but a quarter-hour. Yet must I lament: parking is a pestilence, the bin-men come and go like fickle spirits, and at midnight the boy-racers do roar along the High Road as though pursued by Furies. ’Tis a place of contradictions — both balm and burden. And let it be known that fair Marie, noble Marco, and gentle Amrita are amongst the truest jewels of this borough; their kindly countenances alone do make the parking woes bearable.

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

No problems all good and fixed quickly. Always on hand to help.
