Host didn’t tell us until a couple of days before our arrival that appt is on the 3rd floor. 4 x over 70 year old from overseas having to carry our suitcases up 60 stairs didn’t go down well.

Dropping son off to University
Clean tidy and functional with flat with helpful provisions in already (coffee, tea, washing up liquid etc)
Easy access by bus into town
Good for three people; owner completely non responsive.
Our family of five recently stayed at the apartment. Kitchen was grim and we had to buy stuff like toilet paper (only had one roll for five people two night stay!). Beds appear much bigger in pictures than they really are, and the living room pullout not comfy for our 18 year old - it’d have been fine for my wife and me in the master and one kid in the second bedroom with no one on the pullout. Shower was great. Real problem with this stay was the owner never responded to any messages. Didn’t even respond when I tried to firm up arrival logistics. We’ve used vrbo a ton, and this was the first time we worried we’d been scammed. Thankfully, the lockbox system worked totally fine.

Correct
The apartment was well located with a lot of buses, with heat and hot water without any problem, not noisy, for the most part it was correct.
Some negative points : the key which works poorly, one bed not big enough for two (one of us had to sleep on the couch, much less incomfortable), a stained towel and a complicated cleaning of carpet.
In summary it was OK but really expensive for what you got.

In the end, it all turned out OK
We had a bumpy start but the owner worked to fix the issues. The location was great for us.
This apartment suited our family well. We had worried that it was further out from the city center than was ideal, but it turned out to be convenient to many coffee shops, a natural food store, and other amenities as well as to Arthur’s Seat and the city center. It had what we needed as our base for exploring Edinburgh.

Wouldnt reccomend
Definitely 2 star rating!
Over priced!!!!
The list of things wrong is long....
Photos are deciving
Not 2 bathrooms
Hair in the shower
Shower blocks shortly after you turn it on/ we cleared the drains it was disgusting.
No plugs for the sinks or dishcloths
No hot water in the kitchen
Oven top very slow to heat
Mouse running round
Shower leaking through to kitchen
No face cloths
Toilet door serves no purpose doesn't close or have a lock.
Once you see one dirty thing your mind starts to wonder what else is dirty, it makes for an uncomfortable stay.
When travelling from the other side of the world you just want a place to be clean & comfortable, unfortunately this was not what we experienced.
Edinburgh was lovely in itself & we're glad we came to see it.
The apartment is very well located, functional vaut the furniture doors don’t close especially the toilete and the bathroom.

Wir hatten noch nie so eine schlechte Ferienwohnung und wir hatten schon viele, hatten nie Grund eine negative Bewertung abzugeben.
Mängelliste:
Fotos im Netz geschönt
Parkplatzsituation miserabel
Teppiche verschmutzt
Türklinken defekt
Wackeliger Tisch
Mikrowelle defekt
Herd verrostet und brauchte ewig zum aufwärmen
Kein Stopfen für das Spülbecken
Kühlschrank Wasser ausgetreten
Küchenausstattung mangelhaft
Sehr schlechte Matratzen
Und last but not least lief noch eine Maus durch die Küche
Preis Leistungsverhältnis miserabel
Aber Edinburgh ist schön!

Wohnung nahe des Holyroodpalace
Die Wohnung befand sich 5 Minuten Fußweg vom Holyroodpalace und der Royal Mile. Sie war im 4 Stock eines Altbaus und hatte keinen Fahrstuhl. Die Wohnung war klein, aber für einen kurzen Aufenthalt von zwei Personen sehr gut geeignet. Die Möbel waren schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, Dusche und Toilette waren getrennt. Parken war schwieriger als gedacht, da die freien Straßenparkplätze heiß umkämpft waren.
Well….some negatives were: 3 flights of narrow stairs( didn’t see that on description), would be near impossible for anyone with mobility issues. The larger bed was not at all comfortable I’m afraid, and the shower leaked terribly so that little water actually came from the shower head.( very fixable I’m sure) The positives were that it was reasonably priced, easy to check in with great communication with the owner, a well working kitchen,& very clean . We enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh very much and the place was really good as a home base!
Ogólnie rzecz biorąc miejsce ok. W ofercie widnieje możliwość wynajęcia dla 6 osób jednak później okazało się że może przenocować jedynie 5. Kanapa w salonie rozkłada się ale jest już dość mocno zużyta i średnio wygodna jednak da się przenocować na niej 2 osoby. Czystość względnie ok ale mogłoby być lepiej. Przy samym budynku są ogólnodostępne miejsca parkingowe (nie płatne). W lokalu dostępne podstawowe naczynia, kawa, herbata, piekarnik, toster, czajnik, kuchenka mikrofalowa, tv, internet.
Podczas naszego pobytu nie było papieru toaletowego, trzeba było zakupić samemu ;) ale to może małe niedopatrzenie.
Great experience. Walkable and close to grocery. However, only one bathroom and one separate shower (not 2 toilets, as listed). Host was friendly and helpful and b patient. Highly recommend! Family enjoyed the stay.
