It is pretty calm most of the time except on weekday mornings when you’d hear children playin’, cryin’ and laughing next to you due to the primary school beside the building, which is verily cheerful :)

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

Great location - across the road from a park (which is great, as we have a dog!), but with excellent transport links to the city centre. Lots of buses and trams within a few minutes' walk, but also many great restaurants, pubs and cafes within walking distance in Leith. The building is right next to a school, but it's not too noisy. There is free parking on a nearby street, which is super handy.

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

Any small things that have broken in the flat have been immediately fixed. Everyone great at communication and all the staff we've met have been really friendly.

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

Nothing really! Good welcome pack describing everything.

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

Ideally would have a 'local' bar really nearby! But there are lots within 10 minutes - so it's ultimately fine. Parking on street is ok but 3-5 minutes away. General street noise is fine and really quiet at night. Bin collection and School noise is fine also - you ultimately get used to it!

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

They always respond to problems promptly and with clear responses
