Annandale Street Apartment - Sleeps 4 guests

A great base for Edinburgh. You can walk everywhere from the apartment. We stayed during the fringe and walked everywhere during our time there. The apartment was immaculate and very well equipped. The only downside was the fact that it’s opposite the bus station. This is incredibly noisy particularly between midnight and 2 am and from 4:30 am in the morning. We couldn’t sleep with the windows open even with earplugs. Just too noisy.

The apartment itself was very clean and beautifully decorated. It is centrally located to everything as well. However, it is located outside of a bus terminal. Because the weather was warm the 3 nights we stayed, we slept with the windows open to keep the unit as cool as possible. With the windows open, the noise level from the buses made sleeping difficult. Compared to a hotel or other private VRBOs/Airbnb’s we have stayed in, it was difficult to obtain immediate assistance from the host after we checked in. We had requested a second fan after the 1st night for the second bedroom to help reduce the noise level and heat at night. Over 24 hours later, the host did provide a second fan that we had to assemble ourselves. I would stay there again, but during cooler temperatures.

Great location and beautifully decorated! Walking distance to many attractions. It is located next to a bus terminal so traffic can be disruptive for light sleepers if windows are left open throughout the night. Communication with the host was great the first day of check-in. After check-in, however, the host was slow to respond to inquiries.

Super clean and comfortable, strongly recommend
