The James Liverpool, L2

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

I’m currently staying at The James Liverpool and it’s been such a fantastic experience from the very start. The apartment itself is amazing, bright, modern and spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. It really feels like a home away from home and you can tell how much care has gone into every detail. The building is just as impressive. The communal spaces are absolutely stunning. Very stylish, cosy and beautifully designed. There’s always something going on and I love how easy it is to meet people or just unwind in one of the shared areas. It’s got such a great atmosphere whether you want to relax, get some work done, or socialise. Another great feature is their in house app, which keeps you up to date with everything happening in the building from social events to local recommendations. It’s such a thoughtful touch and really helps you feel part of a community, not just a guest passing through. The location is perfect too, right in the heart of Liverpool, close to shops, restaurants, and everything the city has to offer but still peaceful enough when you want some quiet time. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. Everyone here is so friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. A huge thank you to Ellie, who has been absolutely amazing throughout my stay. She’s warm, professional, and genuinely cares about making sure everything runs smoothly. She’s always gone above and beyond and her kindness really makes such a difference. I’m still here and I have extended my stay! I’d highly recommend The James Liverpool to anyone looking for somewhere stylish, comfortable and full of life. It’s honestly one of the best places I’ve stayed a perfect mix of comfort, community, and class.

The James is ideally situation in Liverpool City Centre. Only a minutes walk from the Strand/Albert Docks. Only a couple minutes walk to Liverpool One and the main shopping, dining and entertainment areas. Also regarding transport there is a train station literally across the road and the Liverpool One bus depot only 5 minutes walk away. While it's a busy area there's no anti social behaviour and noise is tolerable and it is a city centre. Perfect location to live literally minutes from everything you could need or want.

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

I have had no issues at all since I moved in. However anything that has needed attention anywhere in the building has been addressed rapidly in what I have seen so if I do have any issues in future I am confident in how quickly they will be prioritised and resolved.

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

I wasn't aware of all the various groups set up online as part of creating the community feel and there are such a wide variety of interests included there. Also the residents Whatsapp group and some subgroups (interests) is fantastic too. All adds to the community feel which you can engage in as much or as little as you want. It all adds to the appeal of what The James Liverpool offers.

The location is ideal. Everything is so nearby and it is really easy to get essentials and other shopping done without the need for a car at all.

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

I have not had any issues with my landlord or management so far. It has been very easy to discuss things with them so far.

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

I don't think there's anything I would have not known before moving in. Actually a huge plus is that the walls are super thick so you really can't hear anything from neighbours etc!

Amazing location in the heart of everything! Near shops, trains, gyms, bars. Chose the James for the location!

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

They assisted with my move in as I was alone. I also needed help with lots of packages and furniture.

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

No ovens in the studio- fine with an air fryer. Also no onsite parking but I was aware of this

Lovely building with wonderful staff. All of the facilities are well taken care of and in good order. The rooms are smart however the kitchens are very small and there is no oven so bear this in mind. The induction top works great for the stove and there is a smart microwave. Great closet space and the location is second to none.

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

I have not had anything I have needed to raise with management at this point.

The kitchen size - it is purely functional and not really made for cooking nice meals. You will need to buy additional appliances and potential table top space to make it better.
