On of the best residential building in London (amazing facilities, better then most 5 star hotels )

After living there for almost 2 years, it's clear that was overpaying. Cons: The build quality is poor, and the heating and cooling system is dodgy, which means I'm forced to pay for it even when I'm not using it (!!!) The heating, hot water, and cooling systems are a rip-off because you have to pay for them on top of your energy bills. Also, it takes time to top up, which means you could be out of hot water for hours while it's being processed (isn't it insane :o lol). You also have to pay for cooling, even in winter. Unfortunately, the corridors are almost never cleaned, and the windows are always extremely dirty, lifts don't work very often; The refuse chute is always broken, and a permanent collection of trash smells very bad. The spa and pool are worn out very quickly, and the steam room is broken all the time. The staff is super nice but overstaffed and useless. The management is clueless and unable to help with any issues. Even though the level 56 facilities are nice, accessing them is impossible if you're working. The cinema system is often broken. Additionally, the cracking sound in the flat caused by the wind was insane. It was definitely stronger than in most of the towers I've ever lived in. Given that it's very windy in Canary Wharf in general, the cracking noise was a very common occurrence in the flat :( What made me move out was the smell of food from the pizza restaurant downstairs that has recently opened. Even with the windows closed the smell was so strong in my flat (16th floor) and even in the lobby of the building, no one seems to care despite the complaints. Pros: Some pros of my living situation were the design of the flat, which I found to be aesthetically pleasing. The view of Canary Wharf from my flat was also cool. Another nice aspect of the building was that it was brand new. I enjoyed the facilities that were available anytime, I loved the gym that was available almost 24/7. So after + 2 years, the building has become very tacky and cheap.
