The James Liverpool, James Street, Liverpool

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

The location is great, it's right in the city centre and you're close to anywhere you could possibly want to go in Liverpool. You're right on top of Liverpool One, there are a million bars and restaurants nearby, M&S and Tesco are right around the corner. It is across the street from a bus stop and a train station so I can get from my apartment to my classes at UoL in about 15 minutes by bus. You're also super close to the docks and I love talking walks by the river.

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

They usually respond within a day or so. You can just submit a maintenance request on the app which makes it easy.

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

Temperature in the summer can get very very very hot and fans are not enough so you may need to invest in an air con unit especially on the higher floors and in rooms facing southeast (away from the street). The events and parties are very fun and you should definitely go even if you don't know anyone because everyone is welcome!

The location was honestly ideal. You’re right in town so you can walk pretty much everywhere. Liverpool ONE, loads of places to eat and drink and the waterfront are all a short walk away. James Street station is right there too, which is handy if you’re going further out.

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

Chloe and Ellie were both so easy to speak to. When I asked about my deposit, they explained when it would be processed and what I needed to look out for. It was all really straightforward.

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

I don’t think I realised how much I’d love being able to walk pretty much everywhere. You’re right in town, but the waterfront’s only a few minutes away too. It’s such a fab spot to live.

They have been very prompt about it however there is nobody on reception over the weekends or after 6pm to collect your parcels or help you in case you are locked out of your room.
