This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Warm and welcoming experience!
I had a fantastic experience at McEwan Moda Edinburgh. The staff were brilliant. Friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They truly went above and beyond to make sure I was looked after and had a great experience. Thank you so much for having me! I really appreciate all your kindness and help, and I would definitely recommend McEwan Moda. ⭐️

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Easy living at McEwan!
I have been living in a studio apartment for 3 months. I was a little worried about downsizing from a 3 bed house but actually the apartment is really spacious. Having the half wall between the bedroom space & living space actually makes the bedroom really private. If i have friends round I use the communal lounge spaces which is an extra bonus as I mean a I dont have to worry about tidying the apartment!
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.

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. MODA!
The development is fairly still new, but is well maintained and the team is so lovely. They are always very attentive and helpful with us. There is also a little playroom for the children upstairs, as well as a cinema area which they really love. We are all having a really good time living here and intend to stay.
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.

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Living Happy!
I really love the amenity spaces, they are usually quite busy and everyone has been friendly so far. I have just moved to the UK so it is nice to have a sense of community. The gym is nice and is never too busy, and now that it is getting warmer the roof top terrace has been nice to read on. The team have been really helpful from the beginning of the process and also contribute towards it feeling like home.
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!

This development review is rated 2.0 out of 5.0. New management cut costs; serious issues go unresolved
Good to live in until any issue arises with your flat, because basically nothing gets resolved by management ever since the management changed over. Costs were cut, so the development is seriously understaffed. Parcels get stolen from the parcel room and nothing is done. Plumbing/ flooding issues go unresolved / management ask the resident to pay for the fix upfront, despite it not originally from their flat. Nearly 1000 units and seemingly only a couple staff members available to handle an endless backlog of issues that go unresolved.
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.
