Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There is a Coop & Tesco close by and Cornbrook tram stop, which can get you into the city centre in 1 stop. The walk along the canal is only 15 minutes into the city centre and you're close to nearby pubs like The Wharf (great roast)/Oxnoble, and white lion if you are a football fan, very close to Deansgate.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Thankfully, no issues. I've seen maintenance go around. They always look busy, but still have time to say good morning!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The extractor fan is in the kitchen. I thought it was automatic when I was showering, but you need to press this to boost and help clear the steam. However bathroom has underfloor heating and the mirror doesn't fog!
Manager's response5Thank you so much for your glowing 10/10 review! We're absolutely delighted to hear how much you're enjoying life at Botanica. It’s fantastic to know that our team has made a great impression and that the weekly yoga and foodie workshops with Jenny have added to your experience. We're pleased you’re getting the most of the 24/7 gym and exploring the vibrant local area - The Wharf’s roast is certainly a highlight! Thank you also for your feedback about the extractor fan; it's helpful for future residents to be aware of. We really appreciate your recommendation - thank you!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Brilliant location - city centre is walkable, without feeling like your in the midst of it all. Transport is good, particiularly with the tram stop being 1-2 minutes walk from your front door. Trams are very regular. We have enjoyed walking our dog in the local area. There are a few different parks where you can take dogs off lead to run around. There is some local free parking, but this is limited. Walking around the development feels very safe.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management has been responsive and really helpful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The town house property we live in is lovely, but difficult to heat without incurring high electricity prices and due to its size the wifi doesn't extend to all parts of the house. We have not been able to install a wifi extender to support this.
Manager's response5Rose, thank you for taking the time to share your experience of living in one of our Botanica townhouses. We're thrilled to hear that your first three months have been so positive and that our on-site team - especially Jose - helped make the application and move-in process smooth and welcoming. We appreciate your honest comments regarding heating costs and Wi-Fi coverage - these are valuable insights, and we'll look into this. Your kind words about the location and surrounding dog-friendly parks truly highlight the charm of the area, and we're so pleased you and your partner (and pup!) are enjoying it here. Thank you again for recommending us!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great location ! Super peaceful with a nice river view. The building’s really pet-friendly and has plenty of green space, which is perfect if you’ve got a dog. Starbucks right across the street is a huge bonus too. I actually stayed at one of the competitor buildings in town before this, and the price was way higher — plus the noise was awful. I could hear everything all night, especially on weekends, and barely slept. This place is the complete opposite. Definitely a 10/10.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
If there’s ever an issue, you just report it and they get back to you almost immediately with a suggested repair date and time. If it’s something urgent, they’ll even call out the out-of-hours team to sort it. I had a problem with my door once on a weekend and they sent someone out and got it fixed. Really good service.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
If you love sunrises, go for a river-facing apartment. In the morning, you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise from your window or balcony. I like having my coffee with this view — seeing the sun’s reflection on the river is absolutely stunning.
Manager's response5Martyna, thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt and thoughtful review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that Granary Quay feels like home to you - that’s exactly the experience we strive to create for all our residents. It’s especially lovely to know that our team has made a positive impression and we’re really glad the pet washroom has made life a little easier for you. Thanks again for the 10/10 - it’s truly appreciated.
