The area is great. There is an abundance of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores within walking distance. The area is also very safe. The only downside is that the traffic noise is quite loud in flats facing W Approach Rd.

The couple of times when I had problems the issues were resolved relatively quickly.

Traffic can get loud and be heard even through the insulated windows. The Moda marketplace on the app is very useful and you can find a ton of good items for discounted prices.

The is a newly built area with good sustainable transport links like footways, buses, tram and mainline train (walking distance). The McEwan is well connected to the nearby Fountain Park (a large entertainment and leisure centre complex) and Haymarket. There are many popular grocery express shops around. However, The McEwan also provides underground parking, so no need to worry about morning car window frost and street parking in the night. I haven’t seen any anti-social behaviour in this area yet. As The McEwan's buildings and facilities are well secured with 24/7 on site staff so nothing to worry about it.

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

The management staff here always try their best to resolve the issues and I think that is the most important thing.

Though I selected my flat after viewing the property, even if you book after virtual viewing then there wouldn’t be any issue with quality of the flat. However, on site viewing will give you a better idea of the view from your windows, level of traffic noise (if exists) etc.
