Quayside Quarter, Dublin 1

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

1 block from transport. Could be a few better restaurants. Parking in building. Apartment quiet. Very little noise on weekends.

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

They always say it will be taken care of and takes a long time. I must say when things break in apt they fix it promptly.

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

I was very happy with every when I moved in. Could be more restaurants. Dunnes food store just opened and is great

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

Having a supermarket in the development is a big bonus. LUAS station is about 2 minutes away. The only downside is there aren't any good parks in the area.

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

Yes, all issues were fixed within a few hours, very professional.

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

Try to visit the development during weekends also. The community is young and vibrant. I don't mind it but some people do, so they need to be aware.

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

The good: It’s on the Luas Red Line, and it’s a short bike to the Google offices The bad: Never ending construction, no usable north/south public transit, extremely limited shops and restaurants, lack of green spaces

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

They just go silent when it got bad enough. They’ve stopped communicating on the water outage, and say it’s just an inconvenience to not have running water.

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

In 2021, they were friendly, and the area was still new and it felt like after COVID, a bunch of shops would open and it’d be a great area. Barely any shops opened, there’s still a lot of empty shop space, and management has nosedived off a cliff in terms of everything.

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

No local shops, only a small number of restaurants and bars. Multiple public transport stations, very accesible and convenient. Very quite area as well, almost no traffic noise.

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

Very low response rate that resulted in an email exchange over multiple month with no significant outcome

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

That the apartments are great but there's no existing community service that is really responsive. More like DIY

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

The location is quite central but there is a lot of construction around the facilities. The construction next to our apartment completely blocked our view and any daylight. There are a few shops but more on the higher priced end of things (Fresh, Centra, Spar). You need to walk about 20 mins for cheaper alternatives. the area in general is quite dead at night but the adjacent Mayson Hotel has a nice pub.

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

Water damage: They simply refused our claims, then tried to blame us, then tried to blame outside factors and then said we wont be compensated for their negligence. Clogged sink: Maintenance used industrial drain-free instead of checking the pipes as we asked them to. Had to move to a hotel.

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

I lost many packages through the concierge service and I have friends and colleagues who had lost thousands of Euros since their packages and returns "disappeared" and one colleague had irreparable damage inflicted on her car because the garage was flooded for months.
