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

Close to local amenities and great location for social activists without having to go into the city centre. Transport not too far away and easy to get to. Parking facilities aren’t great as street is very cramped.

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

Management have been helpful and usually pretty on top of getting back to my emails however sometimes can take a while to get a response from them. Always been polite and eager to help

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

The fact that a parking space isn’t included in tenancy

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

Nightlife is amazing, 2 min walk from bars and a few pubs and 15 min walk from the city centre. Downside is parking, as it’s a popular slates the space available out side for residents fills up quickly. Very difficult to find a space outside. You do hear noise outside, cars, faint music but nothing too loud.

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

Response is usually quite quick, never waiting too long.

New carpets would have been nice for new tenants. living right outside one of the entrance doors to the floor is very loud.

Very close to Baltic market area for bars and food. Close to waterfront and Albert Dock, some green spaces nearby no major parks. Good transport links for bus. Some apartments come with private underground parking included in rent, in street parking can be busy and a few park on double yellows/dropped kerb/stupid places and receive fines. No antisocial behaviour, there can be skateboarders but don’t cause any issues. Can’t really hear traffic noise as surrounded by the other X1 buildings, can hear occasional building work from surrounding areas and sirens from ambulance station.
