Lovely place to live

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

The ONLY bad thing about the area is it’s right next to a nightclub so very noisy! I love that it’s next to the train station and there’s a Tesco right opposite.

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

At first very slow but now all good. Huge shoutout to vilius as he always get the job done super fast.

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

That the furniture breaks a lot and the room we have is opposite the office so they can see you get dressed

Flat in Bristol, definitely BMY :D

Yani (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Box Makers Yard, BS2

Oct 2024

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

Hello all, The quality shops around the area is very good, you can find everything within 15 min walking distance. Regarding transport is perfect because BMY is within 5 min to the main train station in Bristol -Temple Meads and airport bus! In addition, you can get within 15 min to the main bus station for long distance buses and explore UK. Our street is quite popular during the day as there are many offices around and food street market twice a week. The bin collection is good. The only inconvenient is the road maintenance work, and once every few months… The noise is hard to feel as BMY building has thick windows that isolate that problem.

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

Yes, during our finalisation of the contract we weren’t sure about the status of the flat and the team came and assess us and help us with deep cleaning of the oven.

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

I wish I was able to visit the flat in person, I saw it online through a video. Then, later on once I saw it in person was even more spectacular. All good.
