It would be great to have normal parking as at the moment there is only disable parking. Also some of the entrance doors are not working which makes it not safe. the design of the building is good, cleaning is good. It could be better but it is good

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

The main door and the middle has not been working for months especially the middle security door and it is not safe. This needs to be repaired

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

I cannot think of anything . I like the area and the way the building is made

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

Convenience of location is superb. 10-15min walk to Coal Drops Yard or Upper Street, both of which are bustling with shops, restaurants, etc. Good TFL links with overground and Picadilly. Super quiet cul-de-sac environment. The odd anti-social altercations can be heard from certain neighbours, but few and far between incidents.

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

Maintenance issues are dealt with well and swiftly depending on urgency.

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

Too hot in the summer. The type of appliance that it is, the washer dryer cannot be paused in the drying cycle. It's safety feature will trip the heat element and you will need to call maintenance to come in an fix it. Spot lights fuse easily.

very bad soundproofing if you have neighbors above

Centrally located, it is hard to beat the amenities of Coal Drop's Yard just round the corner. Good location for access to the Overground, Piccadilly Line and King's Cross Station.

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

Reference checks may take a while to come through, so make sure that you leave enough time (and chase your referees) to get those checks done ASAP!

What is the best feature of your home:

This is a very well laid out two bedroom flat, the large outdoor deck area really is the star of the show though.

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

Calm and quiet environment (despite the proximity with the railway). Several supermarkets and parks close by. Safe neighborhood. Few restaurants but at a walking distance from Kings Cross where there is more choice.

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

The neighborhood is actually quite nice: there are a few cafes, a bunch of parks, one iconic pub (Hemingford Arms), and even a brewery. Granary Square is a 15-min walk and the canal is a 10-min walk.

What is the best feature of your home:

We’re on the 3rd floor and the view on the skyline of London is outstanding.
