“Suite re-lease”

Hi Strands fans. Today's was an easy puzzle, but given it's such a great pun for the theme ("Suite re-lease") I can forgive that.
Suite? Lease? This was all about real estate, and I quickly found PENTHOUSE along the bottom of the grid, with CONDO above it.
I then spotted STUDIO in the top-right corner, which gave me the shape of the spangram, APARTMENTS. That also neatly isolated LOFT in the top-left corner.
FLAT was below the start of the spangram, and that just left EFFICIENCY in the middle of the grid. Kind of fortunate, as that's not a common housing term in the UK, where I live...

“"I'll gobble you up!"”

Hi Strands fans. I was a bit lost today, until I connected TROLL along the bottom of the board.
With that confirmed, I realized this was about a certain fairy tale, and duly connected BILLYGOATSGRUFF diagonally from the top-left corner to the bottom right.
THREE was spelt backwards along the remainder of the top line, with BRIDGE and PASS below it to complete the right-hand side of the board.
The two answers remaining on the left-hand side proved more elusive. But I eventually got them, connecting BROTHERS at the top and HORNS below to complete the puzzle.
