It took a while to figure out where the entrance gate was and where the key to open the gate went. The apartment is 20m from high st, google maps did not bring me to the correct point, Fleshmarket close is in two halves so this information will help the next guest.
The host was very organised and responsive.
The windows in the apartment are an issue. It was quite cold inside as they are single glazed however the heat was on for my entire stay so this alleviated this. When the heat shut off for any period of time, the temperature dropped very quickly. Another downside to this was the windows kept out no noise whatsoever, I did not get a good sleep as the bedroom windows face onto High street and it is rarely quiet outside between revellers at night and early morning delivery vehicles.
Location-wise you cannot get better however please note that it is a second-floor apartment with steep stairs and no elevator.
An iron and ironing board did not feature in the apartment and I have fed back to the host that this would be good to supply.
On the plus side the living/dining area is bright and spacious, there was WiFi available, the apartment was clean and the bed was comfortable.
