5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It is a very convenient place with many buses going directly to the city center. The nearest stop is just 3 minutes and the others are within 10 minutes walk. There are big supermarkets like ASDA,ALDL,Coop, Lidl,Tesco superstore within 20 minutes walk in different functions and there is a day one in 3 minutes walk. There are many restaurants in ferry road and Leith walk within 15 minutes walk from Platform. Besides, there are many parks around and it’s a pet friendly community.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very fast. I have two issues and they came in the same day as I reported.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It needs about 2 weeks to set everything, even the room is empty, we can’t move in.

4Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
If one were to consider both the good and bad aspects of living in this local area then, in regards to the good, it would definately be worth mentioning that there is a really lovely LGBTQIA+ ran grocers just a 10 minute walk away from the residence called the Gull’s grocers. It is also worth mentioning that there are not any traffic noises nearby, which I have heard, however, there is an events building very near to the residence building which does on occasion have loud music playing into the late night on the weekends but that has been a very minimal disturbance.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I have yet to raise and problems with the building management.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known that the blackout blinds in the bedroom do not sit flush to the wall and so light does come in at night.

5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There is an excellent number of shops nearby, with a Tesco express and Lidl within walking distance. There are also two Michelin star restaurants nearby if you’re fancying a nice date or some fine dining with friends. The area itself is fantastic, very quiet with no disturbances from any nearby roads in the evening.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We are yet to have any issues with our flat and I have no doubt anything would be resolved very quickly!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wouldn’t say there is anything I wasn’t clued up on before moving in. Our viewing was very informative and covered everything that was included with living here. We’re very happy!

5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I'm so happy living at Platform Edinburgh, right in the heart of Leith Walk. I moved in 4 months ago and it has been a wonderful experience so far. The location is fantastic, everything is nearby and well connected. My children attend Broughton Primary School, which is just a 3 minute drive away, making our daily routine much easier.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The only suggestion I would offer is to improve the internal communication within the administrative team. Sometimes it feels like enquiries are passed between different people, which can lead to confusion or the need to follow up more than once to get a clear answer. A bit more consistency and organisation in this area would make the experience even better.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Just to be patient during the application process, that's all I would advice.
