I really like how it’s not too busy around here, there are a lot of nice open areas to walk around and the walk from the station is relatively safe all day and night

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

very quick responses and honest suggestions, any issues I had were checked out within a day or two

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

Apartments near trash shoots can get loud when someone else takes their trash out

Good public trasport (Tottenham Hale station/victoria line/Stansted airport at less than 10 minutes walk) Not loads of restaurants pub, only a couple. Retail park with Boots TKmaxx, Lidl - very handy.

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

Sometimes they've ignored my emails and I've had no answer back

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

In summer, there are spiders close to the windows/balcony so it's impossible to open them

Very happy tenant.

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

The area is historically known to be bad ie crime, rough. However, with the surge of new developments including The Sessile and new bars, coffee shops it’s become more gentrified and has great footfall and lighting, I’ve always felt safe leaving the tube and walking home. Like any tube station though late at night, it’s best to not be on your phone and concentrate on surroundings. Having access to both the tube and a train within 5 mins walk is also brilliant. So easy to get to anywhere. The retail park few mins from the tube is very handy too.

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

Very well. I feel well looked after. Responsive, friendly and very helpful.

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

That exclusive hire of amenity spaces has a fee. I thought it was free to use with a booking. Also that I can only take maximum 2 guests in the amenity spaces for socialising. Also that I can only have 1 guest stay over for maximum 2 consecutive nights. There is a note to say I can contact management if I need to make an arrangement but when an oversees friend visits or family, it would be easier to allow them to stay without having to contact management to arrange this.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how quickly I would feel at home here. The sense of community and the excellent service from Anthony and the concierge team have made the transition so smooth. I honestly wish I had moved here sooner! :)
