Location is great! Right in the center of New town with a short walk into the old town and close to many desired attractions. The apartment itself was pretty and authentic with the detailed carved ceilings and chandeliers and beds were comfortable yet the luxury overall was just ok. Building is very old obviously but power in living area is very touchy. We had to reset circuit breaker several times throughout our stay which wasn’t ideal for the little amount of time we spent there. Old carpeting, fan didn’t work ( it was very warm the day we arrived), and missing a few common home necessities that would have made things better- no paper towels or tissues at all, and no welcome amenities such as water in fridge for your arrival which is something I have found many Airbnb hosts to provide. Many airbnbs have left wine and snacks upon arrival which I have always found to be a nice treat after traveling in and not having to run out to the store. Plus there was only one small, thin kitchen towel to use for drying hands and or washing any used dishes which was required.
Other thing to note, location being in the heart of the new town means outside noise was very loud at night. Plus there is a night club below which was definitely loud on sat night. May be an issue if you’re a light sleeper.
All in all, we appreciated the convenience on the central location for our group of 6 adults. We enjoyed having a common space to sit and relax and did love the authentic feel of the building and decor. Communication with host was very easy and prompt. Still a great stay! We LOVE Edinburgh. A Gorgeous city!!!
