Apo at The Holloway, B1

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

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

Pros: The area is good to live in as you are never far away from anything bars,restaurants,the Bullring and new street station. Everyone in the building is quite friendly. Easy services such as parcels and letters being delivered Good restaurants available on uber eats and Deliveroo Rare noise from traffic outside- the flats have very good soundproof Cons: These are literally the only con: Currently no parking at the development or outside the development and the secure parking is at the mailbox- if you want unlimited parking it is £200 a month. However speaking to management they should be parking in Phase 2 which I’m looking forward too.

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

Any problems we’ve had the staff and maintenance has responded very quickly. They are great.
