Thank you.. Great guests it's always pleasure to welcome pleasant people.
Please visit i our great city again. New year is special in Edinburgh where Scots jump into the Freezing waters of the Forth river.
Quiet part of the city, shops and bars within walking distance..Fluent communication from landlord with easy check in and check out process. Everything you need from the accommodation as you’ll be exploring the majority of the time.

Perfect guest. I'm glad he enjoyed his stay in eninburgh & the flat.
Mazin was very helpful, the flat is in an excellent location and has everything you need for your stay. We enjoyed staying there, if we ever come back to Edinburgh, Mazin will be our first choice. Highly recommended!
Great area for us. Near a few convenient bus stops. Had some great walks including the hike to Arthur’s Seat. Not mentioned is that there is a slight Edinburgh Castle view from the kitchen and small bedroom. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay here again!
The flat is spacious and clean, has wifi and is in an excellent location. I had to raise a few relatively minor issues with the property manager but communications were good as they were with the booking process and pre-entry

Perfectly situated to explore Edinburgh, even on foot. House and flat are quite old, which is part of the charm. Everything was in working order, it was wonderfully quiet at night. The host was really good, any questions were answered immediately. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Thank you very much. The building is in a conservation area that prohibit changing the building features and as you said it's part of the charm of visiting Edinburgh with roots deep in history.
Staying a second time around definitely was a great decision. My stay at this lovely little flat was ideal for a getaway while doing some site seeing and having quiet time to catch up on work. I highly recommend.

We believe that this property is in serious need of upgrading if it is to be let. I have attached photos of some of the issues. The windows at the back were very noisy when windy. The cold tap in the kitchen did not work.The location was perfect for us and communication with the owner was excellent.

I'm aware of the window issue and it's Silicon seal of the frame.
The rap in kitchen works but you need to turn it on properly! However we made arrangements to replace the whole mixers taps in the kitchen. These are not serious issues. It's a large, well equipped flat, quiet, sunny and in perfect location. Regards. If I was you I would give it 4 STARS.
We recently took a short family trip to Edinburgh. The location of the apartment was excellent — close to everything we needed and easy to get around. The place was clean, and communication with the host was good throughout our stay.However, the apartment is in need of a major renovation and felt too small for even three adults. The kitchen equipment could use an upgrade, no coffee maker, etc…and the mattress in the main bedroom urgently needs replacing for a more comfortable stay.Overall, great location and host communication, but the property itself would benefit from significant updates.

Thank you for your review.
I agree to some aspect of your review.
The flat need of minor upgrade but unfortunately this means we would have to charge substantially more daily rent, most ordinary guests would not be encouraged to book. We had a coffee maker but one guests liked it very much that they took it with them!. The flat itself is modern and has all the conveniences for short stay and space is adequate. Best wishes to a very pleasant group.

The flat is comfortable yet needs some TLC. The entryway to the apartment building has some plaster fallinf from the walls and trash next to stairwell. The hardwood floor has many loose boards with nails sticking up. The area rig in the front room is stained and dirty. The larger bed has springs popping up in the matress, which makes it not comfortable for two people. The twin bed in the back room is very firm and need a matress pad. The kitchen is functional and clean. Neighborhood is near a large park. Small cafe down the street. Quiet except for kids in the schoolyard (which we enjoyed hearing).

Thank you. The building entrance is being renovated completely soon. Unfortunately your group left the flat in a mess especially the bathroom and kitchen also the curtain real that was recently fixed was avulsed from wall (cleaners report and photo the screw housingmplug is avulsed a witness to force used
). You have a duty of care for rental accommodation. I'm not claiming further expenses on this occasion but I hope in the future you take better care.
Great location but will not come back to this flat
Parking was an issue, bed was not very comfortable. Pillow was horrible. We booked it for 3 people and was only given 2 sets of towels. Could be a very cute place but was in desperate need of some TLC, especially the furniture

We are sorry you feel that way. You knew from the start there is no free parking at the flat door. Agree some aspects in flat need upgrading that should be done next season and unfortunately the price will go up due to cost of flat upkeep. Regards

Thank you for the review.
I believe the review springs from my message to the guest of leaving flat as a rubbish tip and cleaner refused to clean and requested extra cleaning fee.
The table lamp broken and left without informing us about it.
i use HER OWN WORDS in her message to Us about the issue: quote Erin
'''I also understand that I was default on taking out the rubbish and taking items off the counter. My apologies about the lamp but that was ok whenever I left and not understanding about the laundry, more than happy to pay for the unfilled part of my agreement on my behalf of not dispossing of the rubbish but that doesn't mean someone . Please keep the remaining payments to cover the lamp, but I will be sure not recommend or stay to avoid any contact with you again. Thank you for your response and your time.''end of quote.
i did not take the price of the table lamp BUt accepted the extra cleaning fee for the cleaner. no further comment is necessary.

Ideal location for our needs but…
That was about it.
The fridge was clean and that and the radiator quickly warming up were the only redeeming highlights of the flat.
Disappointed by everything else. Normally, I am easy going and do not criticise. I would not recommend this ever.
The whole flat needed a makeover. Very drafty (kitchen window could not be closed securely and blew open in the night.). Bedding was cleaned but with some permanent staining. Main mattress was uneven so a challenge to lie flat and, therefore have a good night sleep (my son was competing at a national sporting event all weekend). Bathroom had some mildew around shower that needed re-caulking. Kitchen sink water was at best warm. Oven was dirty. So did not use. I came prepared to cook for my athlete. We ended up eating out more than I wanted. Pots and pans mismatched, stained (could not scour clean) and fry pans we needing throwing out. No matching cutlery.

Well he stated on a message through VRBO QUOTE (We are enjoying our stay enjoying the short walk to the Commonwealth Pool. It allows my son to rest between his swimming heats in the morning and then finals in the evening.
With that in mind, may I ask if we can stay beyond the checkout time of 10:30, especially if you do not have new guests coming tomorrow.
Up to 3pm would be ideal.).
We said No because cleaner booked and would charge if flat not access able and we are using the flat that day. As for the windows actually when we came it was closed given there was a storm the night before and probably he did not lock it.
So his review is a blackmail for not letting stay another day time free. It's disgraceful.
Great access to old town,a 10 minute walk across the Meadows and through the uni campus, but that is the only positive aspect. Listing is inaccurate, no parking available (if you want to pay 30 or more per day), no BBQ, no access to back yard, we used the tiny clothes rack in the unit to dry, unit is not accessible as it is on the 3rd floor which involves climbing 60 stairs to access. The floor in the unit is in terrible condition, I had to try and hammer in multiple nails that were popping up so that we could walk without injury, there were 2 that came out every time you stepped on their board. The mattress on the main bed has springs that have popped out making it very lumpy. The towel rack does not have an adjustable heat setting and is scalding hot and literally in the space you need to be in to access the sink, which pretty much makes touching it at some point inevitable, we took to draping the few towels we were provided with over every inch of surface that we could. The shower valve is beyond a state of repair, trying to get any sort of a decent temperature is a guess and test game as the internal working basically spin freely so there is no way to know where they are really set to. The shower itself has visible mold/ mildew on the caulking and the glass panel is hanging on by a thread. Kitchen window opens up sideways at knee height with a 30 foot fall with no safety barrier. Entire unit needs a significant overhaul.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately it's NOT objective and misleading.
In short you failed to even use the proper key to open the outside door and bent the key,.there are two opening setting to windows u failed to operate it and the hight is standard for all buildings, we don't accept children in flat. We never mentioned there was barbique equipment it's not provided to prevent fires especially by people who can't operate windows!
ONE radiator has to work freely (bathroom} otherwise the boiler pump would fail.
All the rest works fine. We never said there is free parking as no such thing in Central Edinburgh but there is free parking not far from flat. It's great flat and building safe and well equipped for the price you pay per person. You are welcome to book in hotel for your group of three at a cost of £400/night. Safe return to USA.
Har haft nogle spændende dage i Edighburg, beliggenheden for lejligheden har været perfekt et roligt område og alligevel tæt ved bylivet og attraktionerne. Dog var vi noget udfordret på at finde den rigtige nøglebox, kunne måske være tydeligere afmærket. Heldigvis blev vi guidet af udlejeren.

Nous avons reçu de très bonnes instructions pour trouver l'appartement. Ce dernier est très bien placé vis-à-vis du centre ville.L'appartement manque en revanche cruellement d'entretien. Le proprietaire cherche à réparer son appartement via les dépôts de garantie. Il nous a été demandé de payer les trous occasionnés par une barre de rideau mal fixée car pas d'emploi de chevilles pour fixation dans le placo. Une barre de rideau certainement déja cassée auparavent et discrètement remise en place par d'autres voyageurs. Heureusement, nous avons evité le pire. Cette barre aurait pu tomber sur la tête. Mais pas d'inquiétude pour le propriétaire, il est prêt à dire que vous avez joué à tarzan avec mais il ne cherchera en au un cas de savoir si tout le monde va bien. L'argent avant tout. Nous aurions dû repositionner la barre comme ont dû faire beaucoup de personnes vu qu'il n'y a pas réel suivi de l'appartement au vu de l'état.Les joints de salle de bains ne sont plus bons et l'extraction d'air n'a jamais fait l'objet d'un nettoyage. C'est dommage de rester sur une mauvaise note alors qu'en soit, l'appartement est agréable. Reste maintenant à régler le problème de frais supplementaires pour faire les travaux. Logement à prix correct mais rattrapé d'une autre façon.Si l’application fonctionnait correctement j'aurai fait profiter tout le monde d'une magnifique liste de photos avec les differents désordres.
Un appartement à 15min du centre avec un trajet agréable au travers des Meadows. Literie de qualité très confortable et équipements utiles. Un masque pour les yeux est toutefois pertinent pour la grande chambre pour dormir longtemps.
