There were a few things that took away from our brief stay but most seemed insignificant compared to the excellent location. Please consider tidying up the repair and maintenance supplies, and don't store amenities like tea, shampoo, and cleaning supplies loose and mixed together under the kitchen sink. A bit of a face lift (bathroom) and getting doors to close smoothly would make this an easy five stars in terms of first impressions.

This flat is cozy and quite comfortable. We had a bit of confusion over the door lock but the owner responded immediately to my questions. They were very helpful and understanding. The unit is well equipped for a lengthy stay with kitchen supplies and linens. I would recommend bringing your own shampoo and bath soap and blow dryer. The flat is very convenient to the railway station and car rentals. We were pleased to find that there are coffee shops and bakeries just a few doors down. We were able to easily walk to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and some excellent restaurants from the flat. I would stay here again without hesitation for the convenience and quaint charm of the flat. The only caution I have is that the flat is on the top floor with no lift. Getting my luggage up the stairs was a struggle. Be prepared for the climb.

Wonderful location a short walk from Edinburgh Waverly train station and a block from the Royal Mile. There are three flights of stairs which guests should be aware of.

Great location

Great location to explore Edinburgh, great food right on the block. It was a little difficult to check in—a couple of things were a bit off in instructions like the picture of the key box was outdated, etc.

We had absolutely no hot water for the bath. And the electric shower would be scalding hot for a few seconds, then freezing cold. The lack of a hot bath and/or consistent shower at the end of the long day made the stay unpleasant overall. The place was also not very clean. Dust and dirt in the corners, and the biggest spider I've ever seen. However, the location was perfect, within walking distance of many attractions.

Enchanting Edinburgh

Pros: Perfect location for experiencing Royal Mile. Comfortable Apartment. Seamless check in/out. Good communication. Cons: Had to buy our own TP almost empty roll on arrival. Purchased our own trash bags. Couldn’t find any in the apt. Mold in shower.

Great location/No fix to heating issues

This is a great location, has the amenities you would want, it is up steps but that is mentioned, and it’s a good “no frills” little space. That said, I always check for heated spaces and this one says it is. And it is…. It just didn’t work while we were there. Attempts at troubleshooting or fixing the issue seemed to be passed along and a long and along until our 3 day stay was over. I was very cold and disappointed in my experience here due to this.

Not what It May Seem

Arriving at the flat and getting situated, we immediately felt like the description and photos of the flat were optimistic. While not dirty, it just looked and felt well-worn and not well maintained. As we looked around, we found an open packet of stale digestives and an old piece of French bread in the cupboard making us question how much effort was put into cleaning the flat. We looked for a coffee maker or kettle, but found only a dirty espresso maker and an electric kettle with a red “Failed Electrical Inspection” sticker stuck to it. We wanted to go down to the deck described in the listing and looked in the specified drawer, and all the others, with no key. We called the management company to relay the missing key and the other issues such as the “failed Inspection” electric kettle and cleanliness which they said they would talk to the owner about. Late that evening, we turned on the hot water, but it never got hot. We made another call to the management company, they said they would call the owner. We finally got hot water after 24 hours. Turns out someone (owner) had forgotten to remotely turn on the boiler. I found this unacceptable and requested compensation to which they said they would contact the owner. 2 weeks later, I still have no resolution despite multiple emails. I can not recommend the property due to the inconsistencies between the photos and description with the reality of the flat combined with the complete lack of response from the owner.

Fairly neat apartment, close to amenities. Beware, it is on the 3rd floor so 6 sets of stairs.
