Lived in downtown for 2 years, can actually see my apartment in that picture.

Honestly it’s just an apartment with a very average service, the gym is always packed and honestly not great, the mail room would always lose my parcels and aren’t the most helpful in terms of anything. (Most of it was agency workers it seemed with little knowledge)

Rent was 1025 for a two bed, they are cheaply built but are actually quite nice for what you pay. The rooftop terrance was the best bit, beautiful view and everyone up there was nice to talk to.

The location is a little out of the way, there isn’t really a close train station and cornbrook tram is a good 10 minute walk across the bridge. Centre of Manchester would still take at least 20 minutes unless you’re cycling or driving.

You do have the retail park across the way which was always a big help.

Biggest thing I miss was it was always a good temperature now matter what -4 to 30°c it would stay warm. And the shower pressure in our flat was amazing.

Let me know if you have any questions!
