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

Scotmid right in doorstep, 5 minute walk to Haymarket, 10 momite walk to big supermarkets. Bus stops right outside so great transport links. A quiet place to live but really close to everything you need.

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

I havent had any issues but I regularly see the team in the building so confident they would respond well if I needed anything.

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

How the design of the apartment just works! Everything is where it should be.

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

The area is in the centre of town only a 10 minute walk to Haymarket and a 20 minute walk to Princes street!

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

We have honestly not had any issues with maintenance just now, but there was a hot water issue and fixed very quickly.

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

I wish I had known how easy it was to use transport to get around.

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

I really enjoy living in the area, it is close to the centre but not so close that it is busy. I am close to convenience stores and pubs and generally it is really easy to get around.

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

Generally, they are fast to respond now. There was a switch over in team which resulted in some bumps, but they have always aimed to be the most attentive. All issues have been overcome.

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

I wish I knew that I did not need a car living so central to everything!

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

Close to haymarket for transport links and short walk to city centre. Close to canal and bruntsfield links

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

Moamen, deputy site management, is the one person who manages to get anything done it seems. My experience with the other day staff has largely been that raising a concern with them is like throwing a letter into the wind. Maybe they've logged your issue but it doesn't seem like they'll ever get round to addressing it.

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

The amenities are enjoyable, and the flats are decent until they aren't. Floor tiles in various units and hallways have exploded, the bin rooms have had sewage backed up into them, and bikes and parcels are regularly stolen from storage.

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

Liked living in the hustle and bustle yet far enough away from it all to enjoy the quiet of the outskirts

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

As previously mentioned, it took 84 days for my fridge to be properly installed into a brand new flat. Additionally, the balcony crew was working on my deck for over a week and leaving stains on my toilet while I was not in residence. After emailing the front desk about their intended departure, I was told that there was no knowledge of anyone working on my apartment or who might be working in my residence. I found the lack of security frightening

I wish I had not moved into this apartment building
