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

My husband and I moved to Glasgow knowing nothing about the city. And we couldn't have picked a better location! Candleriggs is super central - an easy (and safe) 8 minutes' walk to the Central Station and Queen Street Station, even closer to Argyle Station and the St. Enoch subway station, about 12 minutes' to Buchanan Bus Station...not to mention 4 minutes' to the River Clyde, and about 5 minutes to the beautiful Glasgow Green park. This is such a vibrant part of the city - so many restaurants and cafes, independent shop & boutiques, theatres, arts/creative spaces, yoga studios, churches, sport/gym facilities, co-working spaces etc. As long as you enjoy city living, you will LOVE this part of Glasgow!

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

The Candleriggs team is incredibly responsive - and always helpful and kind. We have also been impressed by how they have kept all residents updated regularly on premises/area-wide problems (like when there was no hot water, or internet failure); and how they stayed late at the front desk to attend to residents. We have not as yet had any experience of the maintenance team, but we expect them to be equally great.

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

As feedback: On our arrival day (which was a Saturday), we were a little confused as to where to park in order to unload. The security opened at the back for us to park temporarily, which helped a lot. The only trolley was being used by another resident, so we must have made 12-15 journeys from the back door to our apartment (6th floor) carrying all our stuff by hand. It would have been a tremendous help had there been another trolley available!

I honestly wish I had known how comfortable and well managed the building was, as it would have made my decision to move in even easier. I have had a very positive experience here and would happily recommend it to others.

The central location and proximity to public transport is excellent. I am onl the 11th floor and the views are incredible.

I put in a request for a few maintenance items and Stephen showed up at my door on Wednesday. He resolved everything.

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

I wish I had known the the terraces would be closed for such a long period of time. It is especially annoying because it has been a great summer and I would have enjoyed the outdoor space.
