5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. A Great Place to Live with an Excellent Team
The Author is located in King’s Cross where is a lots of shops and restaurants, few lines in Underground station with great connections to the central London. Great selection of activities in the area, Waitrose and a Sainsbury’s 5’ walk away. Alma coffee shop is great to have nearby.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Apartment is very spacious. Very modern and well-thought for comfort and utility. Beautiful modern bathroom with under floor heating and great water pressure in the shower. Cooling system is a true blessing during the heatwave. Very clean design with a touch of modern artwork, very much like a boutique hotel. Two elevators in each building and locked indoors bike room in the basement with also parking under building. Darek and the reception were truly amazing people, very adaptable and flexible, always offering a helpful hand and a great chat! Made me feel like I’m home, truly. In addition, concierge on site all night.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Quick response to either email, WhatsApp text or call. Any maintenance issues addressed within a day or two and fixed if possible on the first day
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Everything has been great so far. I honestly have nothing to complain about. The concierge team is always helpful, approachable and happy to answer any questions, making the whole moving-in experience smooth and stress-free.

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Wish we never move...
The team here are amazing, the new manager Darius is extremely hospitable and really takes care of the residents. Gym has more than enough equipment, cinema room is a really the best feature by far. We spend a lot of time in the games room which is the perfect spot after a long day working. It does feel like being pampered here. As of late the events for residents have been fab.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Kings cross is just fabulous, there is so much to do and Granary square is always full of surprises and events. Very family friendly. It's clean and feels very safe.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
very well, issues are fixed almost the same day. Ernest the repair guy is always to the rescue.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How to use underfloor heating properly, takes a while to get used to it.

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Shoutout to the incredible management and concierge team
All necessary facilities are equipped: gym, cinema, private dinner/meeting room, coffee/wine station, study area, etc. The concierge and management team are incredibly helpful and welcoming. Special shoutout to Darek and Ben of the management team! I recently encountered a daunting issue with utility companies that took an entire day to resolve; Darek and Ben were supporting me (quite literally being on calls with the British Gas next to me for hours, taking care of smaller matters for me so I can focus on the calls, and running back and forth to turn on/off the meters on my floor) the entire time. It could have been an incredibly annoying and frustrating problem for them too, but I could tell they were trying not to make me feel bad about it. I truly appreciate their dedication and ability to lighten up the atmosphere during such a stressful time. Another shoutout to Anthony at the concierge for always greeting with a smile and watching out for me at late nights in the perimeter of security cameras (I was stuck in the backyard area once and he immediately spotted it).
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Adjacent to numerous restaurants, art shops, cafes, etc., including shops right below the apartment and new shops to be introduced as well
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Again, Darek and Ben were incredibly helpful with a utility bill issue. They dedicated their entire day resolving this issue while putting a smile on their faces (truly impressive considering how frustrating the matter was!).
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not having an individual landlord and living under Author’s structure is life-changing.

It means a great deal to receive your kind words about the team, and Ben and I truly appreciate the special mention. We remember the utility issue well, and while it was certainly a challenging day, we were more than happy to support you through it. Helping our residents navigate situations like these is exactly what we're here for, and we're pleased we could make the process a little less stressful. Thank you also for recognising Anthony and our Concierge Team. We'll be sure to pass on your comments to him. Knowing that residents feel supported, welcomed and safe in the building is one of the best compliments we can receive. It's wonderful to hear that you're enjoying everything King's Cross has to offer and that living within the Author community has made such a positive difference to your experience.
