The owners had been wonderful hosts from the very first contact (communication was TOP NOTCH - A++) !!
We have stayed between Christmas and New Year, unfortunately WLAN didn't work when we arrived and it was hard to fix it. The Owners compensated us with 2 bottles of wine (good tasting :o) ) which was very nice of them.
Flat is located just great to everything - grocery shopping, pubs, restaurants, public transport, Carlton Hill is just a few minutes walk away which we enjoyed during the fireworks.
We always took UBER - price from the flat to Edinburghs city centre (Princess street) is around 4-6 Pound - which was a great deal we thought.
Flat is spacious, the mattress of the master bedroom is just sleeping in heaven - i stayed in many places worldwide and slept on many mattresses so i can compare :o))
Overall it had been great and we enjoyed Edinburgh, the people, the flat and the owners hospitality - Thank you very much from 2 couples from Austria !!
A few minor things we saw (we rent several apartments ourself so we might see a few things more "critical" than others, so please take this into account when you read it please):
- Flat does need a little bit of maintenance
(Kitchen window, toilet seat, door locks to keep doors
actually closed)
- Little bit of extra cleaning
- Bathroom heating (towel dryer) for winter time is not
enough to heat the room - a little power heater would
be good for travelers which also might feel colder :o)
- 1/2 roll of toilet paper doesnt do the job for 4 persons for
5 days :o)
- Flat is in the 3rd floor without elevator (WE didn't mind,
but some traveler might so this should be mentioned)
