We’ve really enjoyed living at Bendix. The apartments are modern, clean and well maintained, and the shared terrace is a great addition, it’s a nice space to relax and enjoy when the weather is good. The resident events are also a lovely touch and make it easy to meet other people living in the building. The location is another big plus, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, making everyday life really convenient.

The noise ain’t great but it’s city centre living I suppose, shops are fine etc. Would be nice to have like a vending machine or something for communal spaces.

Yeah generally fine, but I was gaslighted once by a repair man who said my window wasn’t supposed to fully open, only to have the next repairman say it should and it was simply a building defect.

The window scrapes my ceiling and causes damage, I really wish these things were checked before listing and fixed before we moved in.
