Long & Waterson, E2

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

A reasonable living experience for the price. Traffic noise is almost unbearable for the first few nights if your flat is on the side of the building that faces Waterson street. I don't drive, yet the parking lots seem to be sufficient. Bin collections are okay, though sometimes you may find they're full and hard to put the trash bag in. Some services are no longer available during the lockdown, including the library area and gym. The neighbourhood is lovely, 2 minutes walk to a petite grocery store with hand-picked essentials and food. There are also a lot of bars and restaurants with exotic cuisines nearby. Most staff members are friendly and sensible. However, one of them broke into my door without ringing my doorbell first and acted with an air of inexplicit superiority. After that, I received no formal explanation or apology, which should be definitely marked and improved if Long & Waterson prides itself on providing luxury apartments with great service.

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

I wish I had known about the traffic noise and visit the apartment myself before making the decision.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

I would love the flat to have a better view. It has a vast window in the living room yet you can see nothing except the building squatted on the other side of the street. An enormous waste.
