"We are in love with our apartment! Perfect area with everything right on the doorstep. Despite being very central the area is very quiet."

"Pretty central location, as a uni student who commutes I only have to walk 10-15 minutes to the nearest major station! Great nightlife nearby but the actual development is in a quieter area."
