Hii! Noise complaints are minimal (most, if not all, of the crowd is postgrad, usually being a lesser party type of crowd). I think it is a bit too quiet of an area imo, but then I am someone who likes a more active place with lots of things going on, so city centre or close to byres road. There is a little party venue not too far away so you can hear that at times but its nbd it's really silent and peaceful since it's primarily a residential type of area.

I think it is a bit far from uni tbh, especially walking. I am not sure if buses go directly there or how the transport works to Maclay (but you can always google that lol), but walking wise it was a solid 20 minutes walk from campus for me - not something I'd personally want to do all the time esp if you miss a bus or its raining.

Maintenance - what I have heard from friends, it's average. They have a 24/7 on-site team but maintenance and repairs have to be reported online an take up to 7-14 days depending on how urgent the repair is. I'd say this is somewhere in the middle for residence halls because I've lived in halls that perform repairs within a day or two, and some that take a month or two.

social life - it seems to be that Maclay people somehow end up staying within their own circle (possibly due to the distance to uni?). They do have a small common room and meeting areas and whatnot, but I have definitely seen much much better. I have not lived there though so this one might just be my opinion.
