Here\u2019s why:\n\n\u3010Pros\u3011\n\n1.\tConvenient Location: Silk Mill is ideally situated near Lidl and Sainsbury\u2019s, making shopping a breeze. There\u2019s a pharmacy right across the street and easy access to bus routes 1, 34, and 35, which makes commuting to the university and city center very convenient. I also love its proximity to the canal, where I enjoyed many leisurely walks.\n2.\tSpacious and Clean Common Areas: The common areas at Silk Mill are spacious and well-maintained. I have celebrated Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival at the coffee bar with friends. The study area is also a favorite of mine, where I\u2019ve spent numerous hours writing essays, reading literature, and studying with friends.\n3.\tFriendly Staff: The staff here are always warm and welcoming. I was particularly touched by the festive atmosphere during the Spring Festival; the entire apartment was thoughtfully decorated, making it feel like home. Additionally, the staff was incredibly helpful when I needed assistance with trash disposal while I was away on a trip.\n\n\u3010Personal Experience\u3011\n\n1.\tStudio on the Ground Floor: My ground floor studio came with a large fridge (perfect for stocking up!), a washer-dryer which is crucial for me, and a dishwasher that I used as storage for pots and pans! The bathroom is twice as big as those in typical apartments, and the wardrobe with a mirror is impressively large.\n2.\tRoom Orientation: My room faces the sun, so during summer, I had to keep the curtains drawn and use a fan to stay cool. Fortunately, the air conditioning in the common areas was always on, providing a nice escape from the heat.\n\n\u3010Cons and Suggestions\u3011\n\n1.\tWaste Management: There was a period when the garbage room was quite messy, which was a concern for all residents.\n2.\tBreakfast Misrepresentation: Initially, the promise of a free breakfast attracted me, but it turned out to be just energy bars and cookies for the first few weeks. I would suggest not using this as a selling point anymore, as the amenities like the washer and dishwasher are attractive enough.\n3.\tMaintenance Issues: Sometimes, the response time for in-apartment repairs and the maintenance of the communal printer could be improved.\n\nLiving at Silk Mill truly felt like home, and I\u2019ve made great friends here. Whenever I spoke to my parents, I would say \u201cI\u2019m home\u201d rather than \u201cI\u2019m back at the apartment.\u201d Thank you!","time":"1726504294","created_at":"2026-06-21 07:54:04","updated_at":"2026-06-21 07:54:04","deleted_at":null,"deleted_by":null}],"apartments":[],"distance":"21 mins by public transport to Central Edinburgh","no_place":"0","no_visa":"0","covid_offer":"0","deposit_type":"Deposit","admin_fees":false,"hide_from_website":"0","university_only":"0","desc":"
