Not the easiest place to find in the dark! In daylight no problem. The bed has an old spring mattress. The shower in the tub needs repair -- awkward to handle. Walls lacked insulation so one could hear others in the building.

Instructions to the accommodation were thorough however could use an update. Location in Edinburgh is good, slightly out of the way and walkable. Connections using bus is nearby. The apartment is found in an early twentieth century masonry stone building on the second floor. Large sturdy staircase when entering the building leads you to the apartment. Arriving, you find a lovely and clean mid-twentieth century style four room apartment with one bedroom. The kitchen has been updated with microwave, family size refrigerator, cooking facilities and kitchen sink. The bathroom is small with large tub. Living room is good size with modern TV, wifi and seating. Bedroom has good size double bed and wardrobes. The windows throughout are wonderful, opening and letting in fresh air. At night the area fell quiet.

Could have been cleaner .. bathroom in particular, kitchen pans were greasy. It's a little tired and could do with some minor tidy and updating. (e.g. towels were very old, dish cloth was dirty and couldn't find another one), pull out couch was comfy but the bedding with very tired and worn out, and hot water for shower was a bit of a hit and miss for 3 people.

The size & location of the apartment with good, kitchen was well equipped. Host was very quick to respond when needed. We were comfortable and the heater (in the fireplace) kept the place toasty.

Location is slightly out of Edinburgh but in all honestly jumping on the number 1 bus or paying £7/£8 in an Uber from the centre of the city makes it easily accessible. It’s just a bit of pain with luggage getting to and from. The views walking into the city around Carlton Hill are to die for.

The apartment was a perfect little hideaway for anyone wanting to unwind in a quiet peaceful environment or get ready to explore what Edinburgh has to offer. The little touches in each room made it personal and cosy to be in. Mario was a great host!

The fact that we had to make the bed sofa ourselves even though we had indicated that we would use it. That seems like a small thing to do for a host to prep. We were given directions for linens etc., but there was also no certainty whether these were fresh linens or not.

Location was great, allowed us to discover lot of cafes in the area versus only opting for the pricier and busier options in the city centre. Lots of supermarkets in the area as well. And fairly quiet overall despite thin walls and stadium proximity. Quick communication + easy check in.

When we booked the parking was free, but when we arrived the city of Edinburgh had changed that into paid parking. The fee for this is enormous, so we booked a nearby parking garage (Qpark). This was still not cheap but at least somewhat better. It's a good idea anyway to explore the city by bus, so account for the extra parking costs when booking this accomodation.

It's a nice to have a whole appartment to yourself. Kitchen is well equipped.

The mattress is too soft, plus the furniture is old and a little strange. The fact that there are no bins in the bedroom.

The apartment is near to the central of Edinburgh, near to old city too. Is spacious for a family of 3.

None.

Clear and timely instructions. Lovely and comfortable place for our short stay in a great location.

Pavements leading to property could be tidier but maybe I am being pedantic

The bed wasn't great, pillows were worse (Feather type pillow).

The place is very cosy and welcoming. There isn't much over the top decor, nicely decorated and pleasant on the eyes. The place was very clean and quiet, without much noise from surrounding area/neighbours. The couch isn't the most comfortable thing in the world especially after a long day walking. Kitchen was fine, stocked with all things needed to cook and eat.

Bed needs an upgrade

Easy check-in. Cozy apartment with all required amenities. Decent location from town centre.

The beds were really uncomfortable. REALLY uncomfortable. A good mattress topper might help both the bed and the pull out couch which were both quite hard. Bath towels were skimpy— would have been nice to have larger towels and/or a few extras. Takes about 30 min to walk to the High Street (manageable, but long, especially in the rain).

Good location close to bus routes. Charming decor. Nespresso maker and French press for those of us who like our coffee. Good kitchen facilities. Washing machine allowed us to clean our clothes mid-trip. One of the few places we stayed that offered both shampoo and conditioner. Excellent hair dryer! Responsive host.

No batteries for TV remote- took a while to work out how to operate TV without one. Greasy oven tray.

Great location. Walking distance to everything we needed, walking distance to Royal Mile. Easy on street parking- unusual for a city centre location. Shops and bars easy walking distance. Good communication from host.

No complaints. Would definitely stay there again.

The apartment was spotless and very comfy. It was easily accessible by bus or not too far to walk. Just off a road with supermarkets and cafes yet very quiet. My son and I stayed for 4 nights but could easily accommodate a family of 4. The host left a very comprehensive pack with details of how to work heating etc. Very helpful

No cat included with the bible.

A perfect stay quite close to the inner city. Fully equipped with a a kitchen, living room and a cat bible the apartment provided more than I needed. The instructions and support by the friendly and helpful owner had been superb.

The shampoo and hand wash is very old and dirty. Some window can not be closed properly. The washing machine is also dirty and has mould inside.

It was so beautiful and close to everything, and the interior design in the house was gorgeous.
