KAMPUS, Apt 405 Stack, 44 Aytoun Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1

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

Excellent location round the corner from the station and minutes away from central Manchester. Does get a bit rowdy on Canal Street on weekends where you can hear noise if the windows are open but nothing that is going to keep you awake as the windows are fairly soundproof.

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

Very speedily, any service requests are usually actioned the very next day.

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

That the heating unit is impossible to use so it gets very cold!

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

The local area is brilliant, everything is so near by but there is rarely any noise you’d expect from living in the city centre. The bars and restaurants around are great and everything else you need is a quick walk away.

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

Yes, any issues or questions I’ve had have been resolved within hours.

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

There are so many different spaces it took me a little while to work out where everything is.

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

The area offers a good range of local shops, supermarkets, and takeaway options within easy walking distance, along with several restaurants and bars nearby. There are also parks and open spaces suitable for exercise and relaxation. Transport links are convenient, with regular bus services and nearby train or tram connections providing easy access to the city centre, although services can be busy during peak hours. Living on the street is generally pleasant, though as the property faces a busy road, there can be some traffic noise, particularly during peak periods. Residents are required to dispose of their own waste, with a bin system that uses three separate options for different types of rubbish, which is straightforward once familiar. Anti-social behaviour is minimal, and parking is available but can be limited at busier times

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

The building management has generally been responsive and helpful when issues are raised, addressing concerns in a timely and professional manner. They communicate clearly and make reasonable efforts to resolve problems efficiently

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the building is pet-friendly. It’s a lovely feature for residents with pets and creates a welcoming atmosphere. However, for those with allergies like myself, it’s helpful to be aware that there may occasionally be pet hair in shared areas. Overall, it’s just something to keep in mind so you can be better prepared and comfortable in the space

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

The local area is great as it provides a quick access to many restaurants and bars along with my other places and activities while giving a calm environment through the design of the building and the community, especially the onsite team.

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

They have been very fast to resolve any issues and have always been very helpful and friendly. Edmer recently provided assistance with the fire testing and allowed for everything to be as fast and efficient as possible while also adapting to our schedule.

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

The team go above and beyond to create a friendly community and environment that becomes authentic rather than just a marketing gimmick
