Sadly despite spending quite a bit of time searching for what we thought was a nice apartment and having used air B&B a number of times and been very happy,we were all pretty disappointed with our stay at this place.
We didn't feel that the pictures were a true representation of the place at all and it wasn't a particularly nice place to be.
The carpets were very grubby, the sheets smelt musty, the duvets and pillows were stained and yellowing (which we discovered after being asked to strip the beds) and poor quality and springs could be felt in the matresses so they were not very comfortable.
Some of the cooking items in the kitchen didn't seem very clean and there were lipstick stains on glasses.
For 6 of us, there were only 3 wine glasses and 5 forks and the cafetiere was missing the plunger so we were unable to make coffee.
The shower was broken and so we had to use a hair band to hold it in place and there had been some sort of leak in the living room leaving large brown stains on the ceiling and walls which was very unsightly.
The location was great but considering the price we paid, we were not at all impressed with the apartment.
It could be amazing, it's a great size with nice original features but everything in there is cheap and it felt like a student apartment that has probably seen many parties.
Before booking we asked about the possibility of an early check in and were told that they had quests staying the night before and the cleaners were due in at 11 and they would let us know when they were done. Upon landing in Edinburgh, we messaged to ask again for an early check in if possible, we received a response to say they would let us know but didn't hear anything again which was quite frustrating.
We later received a message saying that they hoped we were enjoying our stay so we replied highlighting all of the above and again heard nothing back from the owners which was very disappointing.
Having stayed in an another apartment very close to this one before which was georgous and very equipt we were surprised and disspointed by this one and would definately not wish to stay again. Friends of ours were also staying in Edinburgh at the same time in a central hotel paying a very similar price and their to us and their accommodation was a lot nicer than ours!
