The public transport links to Dockside are fantastic, with regular buses and trams. The location is also quiet, which compared to my previous flat makes such a difference!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Dockside is in a great location right on the docks with access to all the shops and restaurants in ocean terminal and just a short walk to Leith where the vibe and sense of character is just unheard off. with local markets at the weekends and fresh fish from the fish market on the shore. overall a great and relaxing place to live in the city.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The management team are so speedy with responding to requests. There is an onsite team and maintenance team that are great and respond to issues very quickly. The resident app really is great.

the only 'issue' i would have is the carpark not being complete yet. But you can see the team are working hard to get this open. There is some local parking and a shopping mall near by witch is great for guests visiting.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The area is phenomenal, extremely close to the tram/buses so you can get into town easily. If you don’t fancy going to town, there are loads of lovely bars and restaurants just 5 minute walk from the apartments. Despite being so central the building is so quiet, you cannot hear your neighbours above or below which is a bonus in comparison to other tenements in the city.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

We had an issue with the grout when we first moved in, however, this was fixed within a week. The guys who help the maintenance in the building are very helpful and quick to respond

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

There is nothing that you wouldn’t know since moving in, maybe only the car parking situation which is now open but wasn’t initially.
