Decent quality, poor neighborhood

Clerkenwell Quarter, EC1V

Mar 2023

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

It’s quiet around, but all 3 tube stations are far away. Shops are pretty close. The area itself is unsafe — recently one person was murdered and a few residents reported being robbed / threatened. Council isn’t particularly good removing waste, especially recyclable — sometimes it takes more than a week.

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

Yes, never experienced problems with the management

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

Not particularly safe neighborhood, Problems with hot water

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

Good selection of local shops, restaurants, bars, markets and parks nearby. Lots of traffic noise from the street. Parking is very limited.

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

Poor response and very poor maintenance from the building management company.

Wish I would know the sound insulation is so bad. You can hear neighbours' dog and music all the time.

250 City Road, EC1V

Dec 2022

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

The area is quite good, not too busy. There are not very many restaurants/bars just near the building, but there are a lot of great places near Angel/Old Street tube stations, 15 mins walking from the building

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

I had an issue with the entrance door, and they fixed it in a couple of days, so I'm satisfied with it

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

The spa/pool is not working half of the time without any reason/estimates when it's back. And you'll continue paying for this, of course
