5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
This area is in the heart of Manchester, so there's a variety of shops, restaurants, and outdoor spaces. It's very close to Victoria train station and bus stops. However, because it's so close to bars, it gets very noisy at night, which is disturbing.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They are polite and helpful. If I say something they help me.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
My house has an empty space underneath and it's difficult to heat. I wish I had known this beforehand.
