The surrounding area is fantastic. 7 minute walk to Media City where there are lots of bars/cafes and the Lowry mall which has theatre, shops and more restaurants. Tram stop right outside that gets you into the city centre in 20 minutes. The water is right outside and is lovely to walk around in all seasons.

Efficiently and effectively. All the staff are friendly, accommodating and pleasant.

Transport 10/10 Location 10/10 Parking - available to pay- no street parking, cheap car parks near by for guests

I was more disappointed with initial moving in difficulties/communication & nothing was really done to mitigate/compensate this apart from offer an Amazon voucher (which still hasn’t been gives).

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

Use tin foil to cover walls to stop inevitable splash back from food. Bring your own heater during super cold periods (im quite a cold person though)

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

The area is quiet and feels safe, but there’s not much selection when it comes to groceries, and there aren’t many affordable restaurants in the vicinity.

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

For any onsite maintenance, they’re usually quite quick to respond.

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

I wish I had known that the rent increase year on year would be so drastic. After all, they are a management company – they profit from tenants, they're not here to help you.

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

The location couldn’t be better. The building overlooks Ealing Broadway station which has direct access to District, Central and Elizabeth lines. The Ealing Broadway shopping center is 1 minute walk away and has almost every store you could possible need. The neighborhood can be busy but The Apiary is situated back off the street and can only be accessed by residents or delivery (e.g. Amazon).

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

Vesa has requested a 3rd washer and dryer be installed which will be a 50% increase. She has also dealt with noisy tenants politely. Vesa and Joshua put their heart and soul into keeping us residents safe and comfortable.

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

Some apartments are rented to a local educational facility so their occupants change frequently. These short term let’s do not contribute to the building feeling like a home as the people who live there are not on a 12 month lease and are not invested in making The Apiary a community.
