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

Excellent location for transport connectivity - bus , train... even airport is 15-25 min away. Lots of options for eating including the exhaustive option of china town. High street, bull ring and colmore financial district all in walking distance

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

If there is one aspect of the building that I could give top rating without any caveats or hesitation, it would be the building management team. Right from a welcoming front desk to the management team, everyone does everything in their gift to address any issue I have raised ( of which there haven't been many as well.. which probably also shows that they are on top of things in general) Special shout out to Jodie for all the support and Sajina for the daily blackboard updates riddle/joke (genuinely a nice thing bringing a smile or make you think on the way up in the lift)

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

(have to say through my own fault) didn't realise there is limited parking and no "guest" parking. But obviously lot of paid car park options around, so no harm done.
