Excellent transport links with the Elizabeth line less than 5 minutes walk from the building. The high street is also less than 5 minutes walk away. With access the most stores you need. There is an ASDA less than 10 minutes walk away.... In terms of Food, you have access to really good chinese / Indian restaurants and the usual fast food chains like KFC / MCDonalds, all within walking distance. Parking is available in the building, but it costs £100 a month which is normal for the area. In terms of traffic noise, I guess you will probably only be hearing the trains as the flats are right next to the track... But given the excellent sound isolation in the apartment, I barely notice them with the windows closed. I generally feel safe going out at night in the area, but it can get a bit dodgy past mid night

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

Always, and very quickly. They have an excellent maintenance request system via the tenant portal

I'd try to sign up for a long term contract that limits rent adjustments for the whole term, with the current rate of inflation, I don't think it would be long before the rents hit 2k a month in no time.

Apo Kew Bridge, offers a modern living experience with several amenities and a variety of local shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. The small high street near Kew Gardens Station has lovely boutique shops, organic food stores, and independent cafes. The monthly Kew Village Market is a must-visit for artisan food, crafts, and live music. While transport links are generally convenient - Distric Line and and Kew Bridge station, public transport can become busy during peak hours, which may affect commuting times. ​Also, the proximity with Brentford stadium can be a bit chaotic during the match days.

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

The management team has been excellent so far. Any issues I’ve raised have been handled promptly and professionally. The whole team - Habiba, Ray, Ben within others is responsive, friendly, and always willing to assist, whether it’s a maintenance request or general inquiries. Common areas are well-maintained, and any concerns are quickly addressed, making for a hassle-free living experience. Overall, I’ve had a great experience with the management and feel well looked after as a resident.

Parking in the are is not an easy job unfortunately. The building should have more parking bays available for visitors considering the lack of car parks in the area.

Par for the course of living by a main road is the noise, however the flats are well sound proofed so only minimal sound comes in. The local area is great and has everything you could need within a 5-10 minute walk which is brilliant - especially with The Mailbox being at the top of the road. There aren't any "bad" parts worth noting, the "bad" bits are just the typical city living parts.

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

Any issues have been dealt with on the same day, something I haven't had before!

The only thing I would critique and it’s something I didn’t notice because my viewings were in the evenings, there is a needle exchange up the street, so I arrived at my car to find three heroin addicts injecting next to it!!! Fresh needles meant fresh smack!
