The Gessner, N17

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

I’ve really enjoyed living here. There’s a plethora of shops nearby for daily needs, and the near access to the Walthamstow Westlands is a huge plus. I love being in the outdoors and close to nature, so I really value that component of living in the area.

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

Building management has been very prompt to answer my questions and concerns when signing my first lease for an apartment in the UK. They helped me understand how the letting process works and worked with RentProfile to address any questions I had throughout the process. A big shout out to Niamh for being super helpful in signing a lease within a short time frame. I was starting a new job and didn’t want to keep staying in temporary accommodation. Niamh was also super helpful in giving me an overview of living in different neighborhoods within London!

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

There is a good range of shops, restaurants, and cafés nearby, which makes it very convenient. There are also several open spaces and parks within walking distance, which is great for relaxing outdoors. Transport links are reliable, with easy access to buses and the Underground, although rush hour can sometimes get quite busy. Even though the apartment is near the main road there is barely any noise.

Honestly we haven’t had many issues yet, but any small questions that we have are being addressed by the management which is lovely.

There are no bad aspects. I moved in March this year. The facilities are 1st class from The inviting work spaces on entering if you want a change of scenery, the endless terraces where you can relax of an evening. The dining room if you want to hire it for an intimate dinner and let’s not forget the 24hr gym. It’s so peaceful and I can say that it feels like a little Oasis.
