Too many air B&B customers make me feel less privacy. The design of interior leave not much space for putting in book shelves or storage cabinets.

Great professional service

Michelle (Tenant)

Newfoundland, E14

Mar 2025

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

Feedback on Harvey Thrower of Vertus I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all of Harvey’s help in finding the perfect rental property within Newfoundland, Canary Wharf for me. His professionalism, patience, and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, and I truly appreciate the time and effort he dedicated to ensuring that I found a place that met all of my needs. Harvey’s attention to detail and prompt responses made the process much smoother and less stressful (which was no easy task doing it whilst I was still in Australia and with a 10-hour time difference), and I genuinely felt supported every step of the way. It's rare to encounter someone so committed to delivering such excellent service, and I am so grateful for his assistance. Harvey’s commitment to his job is second to none. I will certainly recommend Vertus to anyone in need of a rental in the future. As an organisation, Vertus should be proud to have such an advocate, he is a great representative which I am sure will continue to deliver for your business. He represents the reason that I wanted to return to Newfoudland as a home for the next couple of years. Thank you Harvey!

Saad is a nice helper

Isa (Tenant)

Verified Resident

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

The receptionist, Saad, was very enthusiastic and helped me a lot. He is really nice and provides a lot of useful suggestions.

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

The building management has been responsive and efficient in addressing any issues I have raised. They handle maintenance requests promptly and communicate updates clearly. Whenever I have reported a problem, they have taken appropriate action in a timely manner.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is the actual noise levels at different times of the day. While the building is generally well-insulated, certain areas can be noisier than expected, especially during peak hours or weekends.
