David’s apartment is a great space, and in a good location for exploring both the city centre and Leith.
Unfortunately our experience was let down by the cleanliness of the apartment. Surfaces were dusty and dirty, dead flies left on windowsills, smeared work surfaces in the kitchen, grimy plugholes, dirty floors, dusty furniture, cobwebs up the walls, clocks that had stopped, other guests’ food that had been left in cupboards and the freezer, and so on...
The whole apartment needs a really thorough clean to bring it up to a reasonable standard. It’s such a shame as it is a good space, and could be a really stunning flat.
The WiFi also doesn’t extend throughout the flat, so if you are in the second or third bedroom you won’t get WiFi. We did on the last day spot a signal booster plugged in but not switched on. However switching it on didn’t seem to make any difference.
It would have been nice to be made aware of renovations taking place in the tenement block. While not an issue over the weekend, work started early on Monday morning and this wasn’t the best way to start the day!
The check in worked well though be aware that there are many key safes so you have to find the right one! It was very convenient to have parking at the apartment.
