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

How close it is to both central London’s vivid life but also the calm nature of Highgate Woods. I sometimes forget that you can have that too in London.

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

The building is extremely close to local supermarkets and restaurants. All of those are high quality, or affordable, or both.

The reception staff are all very nice people, especially Marcia and Felix, they deal with all the issues I raised.

I know everything about this building and the local area before I moved in.

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

Lovely corner of Islington that is well connected to transit, super convenient with shops and groceries. Great access to parks, schools and kids activities. There are great restaurants, pubs, and a farmers market within a couple blocks.

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

Yes we've submitted a few minor requests for maintenance and they were addressed quickly

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

Nothing really, everything was clear. Some of the units have air con, some don't, so maybe building could be clearer about that.

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

Living right above the tube station is so convenient and a lifesaver, plus there are at least 5 bus stops in a block radius from the building. It’s a safe area with a ton of cafes, grocery stores, salons, pubs, etc. in walking distance. I moved here from the states and was pretty ignorant of London geography but it worked out very well choosing vantage point.

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

Management usually responds very quickly to my emails and maintenance requests. Concierges are very friendly and helpful. Maintenance crew are nice, courteous, quick and good at what they do.

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

You can’t control the heat day-to-day and need management/maintenance to set up the schedule on the electronic panel in the closet for when and how strong it comes on the winter!

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

Over 4 supermarket stores within a 2 minute walk and lots of lovely restaurants and nice pubs close by. Immediately next to Archway underground with Upper Holloway overground a few minutes walk away, making it a perfect location for commuters. Underground parking is secure.

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

Prompt communication and response to any queries we have. 24/7 concierge.
