I'm not a rookie reviewer. I'm an honest one. This flat was my ninth Airbnb experience and failed on many, but not all, counts. I took my complaints to Yavor (partner of Stoil) who said "I'm sorry you're unhappy but I have over 70 positive reviews." So...be honest when reviewing a place. Airbnb resolved it when he did not.
This is a flat in one of the old tenement buildings on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. That much is accurate. It's £25 a day to park in a car park in Edinburgh on average. The info given prior to arrival holds back all the huge negatives like: there are 59 stairs to get to the flat, the freezer was frozen solid, the view is not what is advertised - do you see any window panes in the pictures?, the windows are so dirty, the view is not clear, the ceiling in the bathroom had disgusting brown stains above the toilet, and the bagpipes are played next door every single day ALL day. Before this trip, I liked bagpipes. By day two, I had to go elsewhere during the day. Oh, and the car park is not called Waverley Station but New Street and it's £25 a day, The place is not cute and quaint. It's old and smelly. It reminds me of a communist block flat in Poland. If you want a place that's in the center of all the tourist sites, this is it. With that comes noise, which didn't bother me. Cranky neighbors who glare at you are standard. Hmm... Also, it's an old tenement - expect creaky floors. Not a problem for me. That's charming. Bare bulbs, broken basics, grimey light switches, and misrepresented views & stairs do! (Bring your own French press, too!)
