Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
~10-15 minutes from the nearest shops. ~20 minutes to city centre. Occasionally the fire engines, who have a station on this street, can be loud. No problems with anti-social behaviour at all.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I have not needed to raise any issues, so I cannot answer this question.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How small the freezer is. And the curtains are a bit difficult to close. You lose a lot of heat from the single pane windows.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s housing area, so the environment is quiet. But there also have lots of nice breaky shops and bars just down the road, quite easily to find a parking space
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They solved the issues very quick, the receptionist will take care of it, if you are working while the maintaining teams come over
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Don’t buy too many your own stuff, here literally got everything

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I like living in Edinburgh as you have such a cool fee between the old town and new - and living at Moda both are within reach so easily.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I go and speak with team if need a hand with anything and can always point me in right direction.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Ask if the apartment you have reserved is available to see when doing a viewing
