Head Tenant: “We've really enjoyed living here. The flat feels safe and secure, and we like that it's off the street. It also feels quite new and modern, which has been nice. The location is great as it's close to both uni and the supermarket. We've found Whittle Knight easy to communicate with and helpful whenever we've needed anything. Overall, we've had a very positive experience.”
