The location is a bit of a hit and miss, its great for commuting and basic shops that are around however il be honest. Harrow isn't the most "scenic" which is shown by the buildings around the Palm House. The FOLK building is lovely but everything else around is looks rough.

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

I had a issue with my hob which was fixed in 20 minutes ! besides that only other issue is the lifts that have been out of order for a while but I think this is a insurance job from my understanding.
