A guide to living in Scotland

For convenience you cannot beat this location, it's in the middle of an exciting city. The main station in Glasgow is 12 min walk away, argyle street and at Enoch tube are 5 min. It's not too noisy on the 7th floor facing Trongate because of good sound insulation. There is some anti social behaviour in any central city but much safer than London for phone snatching. Surrounded by restaurants and on the main street for shops

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

Yes though it did take a nudge from Laurie to get a reply to my emails. All good now

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

Response is prompt however l did stay in on several occasions and no one turned up to fix issue or in one case for the inspection but l think l was just unlucky as it did not seem to happen to others l spoke to .We moved house and had deposit returned in full so no complaints there.

The location of the property is amazing, however because of such an amazing location, there is no affordable parking nearby. The restaurants and stores around are amazing and full of diversity, would definitely recommend. The public transport is nearby and and it is very close to the university and many organisations.

A locale shop would be ideal something under the premises? Maybe even a cafe/coffee shop Too? I think a bar would be fabulous also! It’s an amazing space and I really enjoyed when you opened up the office space at reception for an art event/gallery. That was really cool and invoked community engagement which is very rare in this era!

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

Quickly and efficiently. However when I wrote a cover letter about the lack of hot water first few weeks I didn’t get a response.
