Very good, with room for improvement.

Joyce Rothchild (Tenant)

We would like the flat to be equipped with storage space such as a wardrobe. Security would be appreciated to prevent bar patrons from loitering in front of the flat. It can feel like an invasion of personal space and privacy. Our home should be a sanctuary where we feel safe and comfortable, and having someone loitering outside can disrupt that sense of security.

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

The flat is conveniently located near shopping malls and supermarkets. There are also parking spaces at the entrance which is very convenient. federal and some other restaurants in arndale are also very close by, as are the bars. The downside is that it can be very noisy at night, the bar and restaurant downstairs are very noisy. The soundproofing of the flat is average, sounds outside the flat door can be heard in the room!

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

Mail was handled promptly and flat repairs were quick

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

Please take care of all things while the flat receptionist is working, e.g. courier, room maintenance.

I hope that some activities can be held to let residents get to know each other and make friends. Like Christmas or some kind of welcome events to let tenant to join in.Another solution is that some rooms have Windows facing the hallway, which is a little uncomfortable

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

Our apartment is conveniently located just across from arandale, the largest shopping centre in Manchester and surrounded by many supermarkets and shopping centres. The apartment has a gym and reception, and the staff are nice and will help you with any problems you may have with your stay.

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

Yes, my room is affected by the acoustics of the gym downstairs. The staff will help me turn off this stereo at night to solve my problem

Modern and simple, but lacks storage function

J Miao (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Nov 2023

The building where the apartment is located is an old building. It looks classic from the outside. However, because the building is relatively old, the insulation measures are not perfect, and the heating needs to be turned on all the time in winter to ensure the indoor temperature. In addition, the interior design of the room is very modern and simple, but it lacks storage function. Long-term tenants need some storage space. Finally, the management service of the apartment was in place, and the staff was warm and friendly.

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

The apartment is conveniently located in the city centre. Just outside is the arndale Shopping Centre, which has many shops and a wide variety of shops. Besides, the transportation is also very convenient. There is a lot to walk around and tram station is nearby. Victoria Train Station is a 5-minute walk away.

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

It is suggested to add some storage homes. Strengthen building insulation system.

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

I would like to know about the energy company before staying. And how to save energ.
