The staff are really helpful. I've loved my 6 months here but am moving for Uni in Birmingham. The area has great shops, restaurants, and bars, with good transport links. Bin collections are reliable. Overall, a well-connected and vibrant place to live!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It’s worth knowing that parking can be limited during peak hours, so if you have a car, it’s best to check for available options in advance. Also, the area is lively, which is great for convenience but can be a bit busy during weekends
