Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s quiet around, but all 3 tube stations are far away. Shops are pretty close. The area itself is unsafe — recently one person was murdered and a few residents reported being robbed / threatened. Council isn’t particularly good removing waste, especially recyclable — sometimes it takes more than a week.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, never experienced problems with the management
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not particularly safe neighborhood, Problems with hot water

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is quite good, not too busy. There are not very many restaurants/bars just near the building, but there are a lot of great places near Angel/Old Street tube stations, 15 mins walking from the building
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I had an issue with the entrance door, and they fixed it in a couple of days, so I'm satisfied with it
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The spa/pool is not working half of the time without any reason/estimates when it's back. And you'll continue paying for this, of course
