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

Most of the time, building management replies, but they often lack accountability and fail to address urgent issues promptly.

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

Generally, there have been no particularly pleasant or unpleasant surprises. However, I wish I had known that, due to the building's age, the wall insulation is poor, making it difficult to maintain a warm temperature, which can lead to higher electricity costs.

Regarding convenience, Queen street quarters location made everything quite accessible. It’s like living in the centre of the whole city centre itself . Parking on the other hand is not a problem for residents of the apartment but it’s a hurdle for visitors visiting because it’s street parking and ticket enforcement officers always come for them in little or no time . Anti-social behaviour can’t be avoided being in the heart of the city
