Luxurious Apartment in Thistle New Town, 1 Bedroom Super King

Thanks Bonnie, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and took time out to write a review, always serves to help others who wish to stay in Edinburgh In the future, good or bad points. Some might not enjoy being so close to the city centre you never know. The stairs can be a bit of a pain at times, specially for those who have heavy luggage, I was more than happy to help however. Wishing you all the best in the future. Kind Regards, Graeme.

Thanks so much for your lovely review, Thistle Street is a perfect place to stay to enjoy Edinburgh and all it has to offer. Would love to welcome you back in the future !

Thanks so much for your review, Thistle Street sometimes goes un-noticed in Edinburgh as it’s such a small street people tend to forget it and walk by without knowing how close it is to the City Centre. No need for buses up Hanover Street as it’s only a short 50m walk uphill until you arrive at George Street and beyond. Thanks so much for you business feel free to drop by anytime in the future.

Thanks Dallas, I’m happy you enjoyed your stay, yes the kitchen set-up can be a little awkward, just something people have to work around I guess. During the re-design of the apartment sacrifices had to be made, however it is a much more workable modern home with more privacy. Thistle Street being well over 200 years old, was one of the first streets in the New Town to be built thus the rooms are relatively small In comparison to the grand Georgian homes to the North for example Great King Street which is further down the hill. On the plus side as you said, the location which allows walking to all the fabulous entertainment Edinburgh has to offer worthwhile without the need for a taxi. Best of luck with your travels in the future. Regards Graeme.

Hi Tracy, Thanks for your review, Apologies for the bathroom extractor fan switch being broken. This has now been fixed along with the other issues you mentioned. I actually live overseas so It has been a bit of a challenge in setting up the apartment for the short term rental market. On occasions it can be difficult at times to monitor when things need replaced. Big ticket Items such as Sofa’s, Beds and Re-painting of the apartment I usually allow a certain time period to expire for normal wear and tear before consideration of a replacement is given. The Sofa was looked at previously at the end of last year and I will be considering a replacement within the next year. The Apartment is small, as are all 1 Bed apartments along Thistle Street. During the re-design which took place 10 years ago for an open plan Kitchen / Lounge area to work well a smaller Kitchen area was the only solution. For the Kitchen to have the essentials Oven, Fridge, Washing Machine and Dishwasher certain sacrifices had to be made one of which was the Sink. Overall during the 10 years the flat was on the long term rental market I only had 3 tenants which I think proves the livability of the apartment over a longer time period. I am thankful for your review as it really does help you to try and improve things for the next tenant. Please keep us in mind if you re-visit Edinburgh in the near future. Regards Graeme
