This area is in the heart of Manchester, so there's a variety of shops, restaurants, and outdoor spaces. It's very close to Victoria train station and bus stops. However, because it's so close to bars, it gets very noisy at night, which is disturbing.

They are polite and helpful. If I say something they help me.

We love living at the Jams but due to its location it can sometimes be a little noisy outside . Although the proximity to the local shops and bars and restaurants is fantastic, this can also sometimes be a little detrimental. We still enjoy living here through

Living at The James has been a great experience overall. The range and quality of local shops, restaurants and bars nearby is excellent, with Ancoats offering loads of great food spots and places to socialise, all within easy walking distance. There are also good open spaces close by, which is a nice balance for city living. Transport links are excellent too — it’s easy to get around Manchester with buses, trams and the city centre all very accessible, and I’ve never had issues getting where I need to go. The street itself is on a main road and next to a bar, so there is traffic and some noise, but that’s exactly what you expect living in central Manchester. It’s lively, convenient and part of the appeal of the area.

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

Building management have been extremely responsive whenever I’ve raised any issues. They’ve dealt with things quickly and professionally, and have always been friendly and approachable. When I moved in they even helped me carry boxes.

One thing I wish I’d known beforehand is to ask a few more questions about storage space. The flat is beautifully designed and laid out, but like a lot of city apartments, storage can be a bit limited, so it’s worth planning for that early on. Other than that, everything has lived up to expectations.
