Hello, I lived in Sky Tower for 1 year and 1/2. I loved it in the beginning. The view, the security, the gym, the jacuzzis, the parking, etc.. but with time i started hating it. it's so secluded, it takes you 10 mins from once you enter the island till you get to your place. getting from one elevator into another so that you can reach your room. you won't be able to meet people, nothing is close to you except waitrose and geant, and they still dont have everything you need. yes you have cafes and restraunts but i didn't like them much. the atmosphere is so different. my DH and I ended up not going out much because of the hassle of getting to your car. also the fire alarm usually is false, and you panic about how are you going to go down 57 flights of stairs while 9 months pregnant. A lot of violation in the reception where people park their cars and you just end up not being able to wait there because you will block the road. It was just too much, and the rooms where extremely small and no storage space, when i delievered i had no place for the baby's stuff, and ended up using the living room to keep everything, and stopped accepting guests because there was no space for them. However, we just recently moved to Muroor Rd. and i am loving it so much there. i finally feel like i am in a home and not in a hotel room, and since we moved in Feb, we met almost all our neighbors and i finally have a lot of storage to keep unneeded things.. HTH
