I wasn’t sure how to rate our stay:
1) The Apartment is great and is in an incredible location. We were very happy to stay there and in that location. It was perfect to walk around and explore Edinburgh. And we loved our time.
2) The reason it’s hard to score the stay was the parking and road works.
We came with a baby, 3 bags, a Pram, 2 backpacks etc knowing that the apartment was at the top of 4 sets of stairs. We were fine with that.
BUT I asked repeatedly about parking to make sure we could get our stuff in and out of the car and into the apartment easily.
We were not told that there are significant roadworks happening all around the apartment block. We couldn’t stop outside and needed to park a few hundred meters away and do multiple trips back and forth to get everything inside (with a baby), which was a nightmare that took us 2 hours.
If you don’t have a car or much stuff, this isn’t a problem.
If you do, I’d suggest staying somewhere else, especially while the road works are going on.
