Our first impressions were generally favourable with this apartment. The keys were easily obtained and despite the dilapidated staircase and entrance, the apartment itself was spacious and clean. The location is perfect for the Waverley Rail Station and the shops and restaurants of Princes Street. However, there were several issues that need urgent attention. Firstly, the shower hardly works at all, and pressing any of the buttons puts the shower into an error state that can only be fixed by going outside the bathroom and resetting the on/off switch (This was reported on the first evening we arrived, but it was still not fixed when we departed.). Secondly, there is no heating in either the bathroom or the bedroom, so those rooms can be quite cold at times. (There is a heater in the bedroom, but it doesn't work). Third, the apartment backs on to delivery bays for restaurants and shops. We were constantly disturbed during the night by the rattling of delivery trucks and loud shouting. Secondary double-glazing would go a long way to solving the last two issues and would make this a really lovely apartment.
