Yes. The few issues that have arisen have been quickly and efficiently resolved.

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

The only slight issue is the parking availability for visitors and the viciousness of the Parking attendants who monitor the area. Some of who seem keen to distribute tickets whether valid or not.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how well-designed and genuinely useful the common areas are—especially the working space. Photos don’t do it justice. It’s spacious, quiet, and perfect for both focused work and casual meetings. I’d also recommend getting to know your neighbours early on, as there’s a great sense of community here that makes the experience even better.
