There’s such a nice vibe around the village and we often stroll across to Hackney Wick for drinks on the canal. There’s always something going on in that we can get involved in. The Big Night In’s that Get Living organise are a great way of meeting the neighbours and getting to know the retailers. Going into our first renting experience we were a little apprehensive – we’ve all heard renting horror stories from colleagues and friends, but Get Living is not your normal landlord. We’ve recommended East Village and Get Living to loads of people and over the years have had several of our friends move in here – it’s great having them in the area!

My experience at Get living elephant and castle – Tantallon House has been very streamlined and easy. When I initially approached them, I was put through to Hermona who handled my move in and contract very well. Chloe and James have since then been very prompt whenever I have a query. The buildings are modern with great amenities. The amenities inside the apartment are brand new and really good quality. The value for money is super good as well.

As far as my experience with viewings come, none were better than when I saw my current flat at New Maker Yards, however it was the style of the new builds that enticed me to rent this apartment as the design is amazing with a lovely kitchen, and stylish bathrooms. My only concern would be for those who may feel they would struggle with the primary color of white, as the flat is mainly white and can lead to a potential mark or two as your time goes on, I had noticed a few prior to moving in, but I hope the managers have made a note of this, or have an easy fix for when dealing with how to remove them for the next tenant.
