    Good location, 10 minute walk from Grassmarket. Lovely out door decking with table and chairs. Nice galley type kitchen. Main bedroom was spacious and well laid out. I was messaged enough times re the property but not too much which was good.

    Second bed would’ve been problematic to access due to the wooden frame type of steep stairs. Wasn’t an issue in the end though as second couple used the double sofa bed in living room. The electric shower was ok but hard to vary temp, either extremely hot or tepid.

    Nice quiet location away from the town centre but also within walking distance. Lovely apartment with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely use again in the future.

    Could use a freshen-up in the sitting room, some wall decorations. The WiFi would not connect to the tv or phone but that could of been the fact I'm not very good with technology.

    Not likeable. Stale milk left in the fridge. Took our own porridge and had breakfast locally. Quiet and reasonable sitting area. Property was fine for one night or two but would not stay longer. Bedroom fine but 2nd bedroom awful. Not good having to walk through the main bedroom.

    2nd bedroom No light switch near the bed if needing toilet in the night it would be a treacherous climb down. Stairs to bed dangerous. Easy to smack one's head if sitting up in the night.

    boiler and radiator was not working properly. Strange sound from the radiator went on at 2am and 4am, we had to get up and turned the control to get it stop. It didn't improve after we formed the staff. There were flies all over the house which was terrifying. That was the first time we saw such condition in a mordern city.

    The location was great - close to the old town, close to a stop for sightseeing busses, and easily walkable. Also, their communication was great, and the staff member I spoke with was helpful.

    The description wasn't really accurate. I suppose there are technically two double bedrooms, but one of them is a large closet they've turned into a bedroom by installing a ladder and a double bed next to the ceiling, with barely enough room for either the bed or a person to sleep on it. The apartment itself was OK, but a bit tired overall (though the carpets seemed new). It certainly didn't seem like it should cost as much as we paid for this, so I really can't recommend it as good value.

    Location excellent - walk to centre - east to find . Clean nice good quality linens . Outside space cute . Easy access .

    Bad smell in the apartment maybe from damp carpets which had been covered by incense which made it difficult to hang out in for any length of time . Sleeping on the couch with the smell in an unaired room wasn’t pleasant . Main door is living room door and opens straight to street so hard to air it out. Difficult to park nearby although owner very helpful with parking suggestions at nearby garage .

    Check in was fine- however use your common sense to interpret the completely confusing instructions- I questioned this prior to arrival and was informed it all made sense- it simply doesn’t - but checkin is easy

    Noisy squeaky bed, bits of living room wall falling off and dirty/mouldy, really dirty under the make shift ladder that accesses the second “double bed” that seemed more like just a mattress laid on a raised flooring. Being woken at 915 by workmen drilling in the adjoining property- there should be adequate sound proofing. A strong pungent smell- possibly the fresh flowers possibly the geranium soaps in the kitchen/bathroom over powering and unpleasant.
