Perfect location, right by several supermarkets such as Tesco Express. Close to the tram and train stations. Central in Edinburgh.

Always been ready to help out, and Alistair has been extremely helpful & efficient with his work.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Building on the west side is still ongoing although the construction was set to finish in 2021, this delay is however due to the pandemic. Quite noisy from construction work.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Location is big part of attraction of the Donaldsons- close to rail and tram links and walkable to city centre. It’s very quiet as set back from street and secure parking is another big plus. However as an old building in large grounds that require regular maintenance
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes. The on site concierge/factor is very helpful with addressing any issues
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
