This was a very quiet property right in the city. There was plenty of room for our family of 6 with good kitchen and dining facilities. It was close to good many restaurants and public transportation. The self check-in went well and was greatly appreciated.
Great location and nice accommodations. Too much furniture in the front room. Back of couch within a foot of the stove/burners. Consider editing pieces with a focus on functionality.We were unable to change temperatures and were HOT in the apartment. Tried opening windows and were successful with some. Heating and cooling locked-not acceptable at the price point.Asked repeatedly about being able to check in a few hours ahead of 4:00 and said that we would pay more for this. Asked even at time of initial booking with no response. No flexibility or communication.
We were wonderfully surprised at the bedroom size and spaciousness of this Edinburgh flat. I think it has been completely renovated recently, and it stunning. Also immaculately clean. It is within a 15 minute walk to most Edinburgh attractions, with a bus stop right outside the door, and a small grocery across the street. There is also a small grassy, fenced backyard which is a nice plus. One note for Americans, there is no dryer which seems standard in the UK. There were plenty of drying racks. Our family really enjoyed the comfortable stay in this beautiful Edinburgh flat.
We enjoyed our stay. The place was well located. Far enough away to be out of the chaos of the Fringe and Tattoo Festivals but close enough to walk to everything.
I can't recommend this apartment more. There were 6 of us and it worked out perfectly. The apartment was extremely clean and had all the provisions needed. It's as cute as the pictures show.
The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were quiet and dark, great for sleeping.
The location is fantastic. We were able to walk to all of the restaurants we booked. We did ride the bus a couple times too. The bus stop was right outside the front door.
Leo's Beanery was right next door. What a great place to grab breakfast or just a coffee.
I thought the communication with the property manager was great. I received the instructions and lockbox code a few days before arrival. Everything was spelled out clearly.
Two thumbs up!
The location of this rental was perfect for our family visit to Edinburgh - it was easy to walk and/or access public transit for pretty much everywhere we went and the space was overall comfortable and well kept.
The common space is not really big enough to comfortably accommodate the number of people they list can fit in the space - we were a group of six and had to move furniture to sit around the dining table to eat together and then move it back to use the living room space.
There are limited amenities and communication was a little hard because they use a property manager who then has to check with the owner for any questions so there is a lag time to get answers for question. We were given just two rolls of toilet paper (one for each bathroom) for our group of six. When we asked if there was more they said they only gave some to start and we'd be responsible for more. We could only find five towels large enough for showering and we only could find one fork in the house. When we asked for more forks and towels we didn't hear back until the day before the end of our rental so we just managed without them.
Finally, there was a problem with the lock on the door and a repair person needed to be called. Again we had a communication lag to get answers and if/when it would be fixed which caused stress and inconvenience.
Overall, the space is nice, the location is perfect, but the service and amenities could use an upgrade.
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home! The only downside was the lock on the front door-which actually locked us IN. Thankfully we were able to remedy the situation and completely enjoyed our stay!
