Management team are perfect

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

I like all the stuff, they are helpful and friendly. The area is beautiful and quiet, and the building is very secure. I liked that there were no restaurants or bars next to the building, which made the street quiet.

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

The staff here are helpful and they respond quickly to any issue and work fast to resolve it.

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

I would love if I find this nice flat once I arrived Bristol

Great Place to Live in Bristol , with Outstanding Facilities and Exceptional Support

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

I lived on the 14th floor, where the surroundings were peaceful. The community here is vibrant and respectful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. A cafe just steps away adds to the convenience. The parking area is secure and reliable, offering peace of mind. Each floor also has a dedicated bin collection point, making waste disposal hassle-free. Parking availabile. Temple meads train station is 5 mins walking distance.

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

I've had a few issues during my time here, but the building management has always been on top of things. For example, when I had a problem with my closet's mirror door, the staff quickly arranged for an professional to come and fix it. Their prompt and efficient response really made a difference

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

There's always something social happening, which really adds to the lively atmosphere and makes it easier to connect with neighbors.
