Kinetic Apartments 92 Talbot Road, Old Trafford, Stretford, Manchester M16 0GS

"Probably the most frustrating experience I’ve ever had staying somewhere . Firstly, as aesthetic as the apartment looks it’s a complete cowboy job. Half the shelves on the wall aren’t on properly and pictures kept falling down. There was multiple stains on kitchen chairs on the sofa in the living room. The beds are singles pushed together and the bed sheets weee extremely poor too for the price your paying. Was back and forth with the landlord regarding paying a security deposit at the start as they couldn’t take it straight out of my account and the links would never work. We also requested late check out weeks before which was agreed via text, yet 24 hours before we were told this was no longer available and kept hearing different things from the landlord. Only positive I can really take out of it is that the location of the complex is really good if you are going to a match or want to go city centre but there are definitely far more better places to go for the money your paying"

"The top floor duplex's have been put together by cowboys: - Super thin walls - No ventilation (when its hot be careful with your kids etc it gets TOO HOT) - Doors too heavy, eventually your door handle will come off. - Juliet doors dodgy. - Showers/Plumbing was terrible. - Noisy corridors and neighbors. AVOID Residential Estates Estate Agents at ALL COSTS they will ignore all of your issues then try to charge you for them when you leave. (Take out of your deposit). (See my review for them on their google page! Its not good!) Most top floor flats are Air BnB Types so be ready fro random neighbors every other week/weekend, some will be loud and here for events/football. Look out for football days at Man United, entrance road will be blocked, parking will be full, access road will be blocked. Football fans leave rubbish and damage the car park. Your mail/parcels will be stolen. The elevator constantly breaks. The parking barrier has been broken for months, and when it breaks again it won't be fixed for months. The Manchester Marathon takes place on the street, the finish line is DIRECTLY in-front of the building so the road will be closed an access is limited. Any concert/event that happens at the cricket club completely shuts down the road and you will struggle for access."

"Nicely decorated inside , rent is quite affordable if you’re looking for a small 1/2 bed . Build quality of the apartments themselves is pretty poor, door handle fell off front door , pretty large gaps under doors . Sound proofing is also not great , can hear everyone coming and going even if they’re 5-6 apartments down the hall, possibly due to the doors not being strong enough , been woken up a lot with doors slamming throughout the night and constantly listing to upstairs stamping around 24/7. Also seen other tenants living in kinetic stealing packages from the mail boxes as their is no reception with security so don’t feel comfortable ordering packages . The bollard for the carpark has not been working properly for a month now but the building management company won’t fix it, and the 1 lift has not been working for nearly 2 weeks now. Overall for the price of rent I can live with some of the negativities as the apartment block is typically kept clean , the units themselves are nicely decorated and I’m sure there is a lot worse places for around 800 a month. Also be aware that the football matches bring massive crowds leaving their cars around the apartment and in the large office car park behind kinetic so can be hard to get in and out when their is a match on."

"Lovely apartments .Very convenient location and the rent is affordable . I love the apartment I rent and feel comfortable to stay longer."

"Totally avoid this Apartments to stay, management have no clue how to help..very poor quality inside.."
