The Quarters, Kilburn

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

The location is excellent, with very easy access to the city centre and almost everywhere you need to go. There are plenty of shops, stores, restaurants, and convenient facilities all around the building, which makes getting around very easy. However, the biggest downside is the noise. There is a lot of traffic noise, including constant car horns and loud sirens from ambulances and police vehicles. This can be quite disturbing, especially at night, and may affect your sleep. Overall, the location is fantastic, but the noise level is definitely something to consider

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

The best thing I can say about this building is how amazing our building manager is. He is extremely fair, reasonable, caring and approachable. He always listens carefully to any concerns or requests and makes sure to address them as quickly as possible. He genuinely cares about the residents and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I have nothing but praise for him. Without a doubt, he is the best building manager this property has ever had!

One thing I regret about this building is its proximity to the main road. There is a significant amount of noise from traffic, especially car horns and the sirens of ambulances and police cars, which can be very disturbing, particularly at night. I believe the building could have invested in better-quality, soundproof windows to reduce the outside noise. Unfortunately, this has not been addressed, and a considerable amount of noise still comes through the windows. This is definitely one of the biggest downsides of living here.

Dorian and other staffs helped me a lot. I’m satisfied with the apartment. However, the residents upstairs continuously make the noise of dragging furniture between 23:00 and 7:00. Even after repeated reminders from the management, the upstairs room still occasionally heard the sound of dragging chairs several times at three o'clock in the morning. The manager said that the apartment had bought carpets for the residents upstairs, but it sounded like the resident had never used them upstairs.

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

The managers are very serious about the questions I asked and solved them quickly. They are all friendly and enthusiastic.

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

The subway next to the apartment will vibre, which is unusually obvious in the middle of the night. Sometimes I am woken up by the bed in the middle of the night and thought it was an earthquake. Only later did I realise that it was the vibration of the subway.

Very fast within a day. No issues were ever ignored, and it was always handled very reliably.

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

The property benefits from an excellent location, with a bus stop conveniently situated directly in front of the building. The overground station is less than a one minute walk away, while the tube station is approximately three minutes on foot. The surrounding neighbourhood also offers a wide range of shops, pubs, and other local amenities, providing excellent convenience for residents.

The building manager and maintenance team are also very helpful, professional, and efficient in addressing any issues or requests.

No issues encountered, hence why I stayed for about nine years in the same building.
