The county of City Edinburgh is one of the most desirable places to live in Britain. It’s a county with a rich history and thriving culture, and it’s also the home of many prestigious universities. If you’re thinking about moving to Scotland – or even if you’re just curious about this wonderful place – we hope that our guide will be helpful!
We love The McEwan!
Living in this area of Edinburgh is ideal for myself and my partner. It’s close to Haymarket train station with good bus links and very close to major financial services firms, which is perfect for a short commute. It’s only 10-15 minutes away from the busy city centre, so it’s nice being within reach but also having the space to breathe and not be disturbed by constant noise. Having the canal a couple of minutes away is amazing for a late-night stroll, the perfect way to end a long day. As the building is built on two of the major access roads of Edinburgh, ambulance noise is frequent but expected when living in the city centre. The streets surrounding the development are also somewhat limited for car parking as they tend to be permit only, so not ideal when having people over.
Please review your development:
Immediately after walking through the main entrance, you get a real feel of the thought and effort the developer has put into the building. From the design of the furniture to the comforting scent that greets you when entering, there is a real feeling of quality with a little hint of luxury. All the staff are very friendly and happy to help. The maintenance team are excellent and to date, all minor issues in our apartment reported in the app have been resolved within a matter of days. It’s very helpful having the concierge there 24/7 and helps make the building feel more secure. The My Moda app is great as it’s an easy way to see all the events which are taking place and ideal for keeping up to date with any announcements. Plus, the ability to use your phone as a key to the building/apartment is such a cool feature! The amenities within the building are great for working, entertaining and relaxing. The rooftop terraces are a great place to bring a few friends for drinks in the evening and when you want to chill, the library is a nice cosy space to curl up with a book. The appliances in the apartment are great. We particularly like how quiet the washing machine is, as it is barely audible.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The cost to privately book out the amenities was much higher than expected and is somewhat cost prohibitive.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
All minor issues with the apartment have been noted/corrected quickly. All the team are polite and happy to help.
