Great location and great staff, we still struggle with behavior that’s not community centred. Team is very responsive though and takes good care of us. Sophie, Amy, Connor and the team are the best and very caring to snack addicted Westie.

The front house team and Connor have been fantastic. We have done temps though sometimes who know less about the building than we do. Props to Jose and the night team when they are on. I think it’s important for residents to know their staff.

Jose is truly an outstanding employee at Moda. He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is in order and running smoothly. Whenever we are studying, he is always checking in to ensure we are comfortable, safe, and have everything we need. He takes great care in maintaining a quiet and focused environment, making sure the space is always suitable for studying. If there are any disturbances or loud noises, he handles them calmly and professionally, helping everyone stay on track. He is honest, friendly, and always approachable. You can rely on him at any time, and he is always willing to help with a positive attitude.
