This first-floor flat is situated on a street corner, opposite a somewhat grungy pub. The location is quite good, being just beyond the built-up CBD, with several bus stops for different bus routes close by. Holyrood Palace and the parliament are a 15-minute walk, or 5 mins by bus. The flat has 2 modest bedrooms either side of a central lounge / separate kitchen zone. The beds were extremely comfortable. The modern kitchen was near-new, and separated from the loungeroom. A few annoyances included: the (winter) doonas were far too hot, even with the heating off; wi-fi reception in the furthest bedroom was poor; the dining and coffee tables have been lacquered with some sticky coating that makes any paper stick to it like glue; there's a dishwasher with (barely enough) powder tablets, but no dishwashing liquid or scourer pad to clean items that you may not want or be able to leave until the next dishwasher load. This point was seemingly lost on the host, who cited 'hygiene concerns' as the reason there was none provided. The heating (in summer!) was fine, once you figure out how to use it. The bathroom was OK, but everything is crammed into a tiny space. Wide guests won't be able to use the toilet as the access is too narrow. There's no toilet paper holder - you need to leave it sitting on the floor or up on the cistern. The loungeroom windows are not openable, and the temperature became uncomfortable, with only a small amount of ventilation available from the bedroom windows.
