The location is excellent, conveniently close to the city centre. The area is well-connected by public transport as well.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The private dining room is fantastic for parties and gatherings. I was especially impressed with the beautiful design, elegant tableware and cutlery, and the music facilities.

Noise but Sound proof and well maintained

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The environment nearby is busy as there are some road maintenance or construction/changes happening speaking from my time on the property since mid Oct 2024 onwards, which sometimes invites traffic noises from bigger vehicles mostly unloading/moving stuffs. However, the sound isolation is so well of the property, that you will hardly notice it if the windows and doors are closed.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, they have responded swiftly, diagnosed and fixed the issue ASAP.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Good: The property is so well insulated, it naturally stays warm during the summer around 20-21.5 degree Celsius. Hence, you might not need to switch on internal heating and thus saving on energy bills. Bad: Parking Spaces are scarce, and might not always be available when required.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s really convenient living here. Even though Temple Meads train station is right behind the building, there’s no traffic noise at all. Having Sainsbury’s just a 1-minute walk from the main reception makes life so much easier
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has always responded quickly to any issues I’ve raised. Michal, in particular, has been extremely helpful and attentive, to all my concerns
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Process of booking maintenance through the portal. It wasn’t very clear at the start.
