An additional surprise I discovered after moving in is that some rooms on the ground floor come with outdoor patios, which I wasn't aware of before my move. This feature is a fantastic bonus, offering a private outdoor space that adds great value to the living experience.

The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the Bullring, Selfridges, and Grand Central, and Birmingham New Street station is only five minutes away. Having so many shopping, dining, and transportation options close by makes daily life incredibly convenient. We also love being near Chinatown and the markets, which bring a vibrant and diverse energy to the neighborhood. That said, there are a few areas that could improve. Noise insulation in some apartments isn’t perfect, and the frequent fire alarm testing can be disruptive at times. However, these issues haven’t outweighed the positives of living here.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is the issue of insufficient parking. While the property itself is excellent, the limited availability of parking spaces . It would have been helpful to know more about this beforehand to make alternative arrangements.
