Pros: Price- very reasonable for 3 nights stay. Location- Great for walking or taking a bus to Edinburgh’s main attractions. We walked everywhere during our stay and found the location to be perfect. Very close to many bus stops as well so we had no issues getting to the AirBNB from the airport via bus. Main Floor- didn’t have to carry luggage upstairs. Easy check-in process, Victor was very quick with communication and gave a nice guide for how to get to the AirBNB several ways & the complimentary snacks were nice as well. Accurate description in listing.
Cons: Cleanliness- I was kind of shocked at the other reviews I read that said the place was very clean… maybe the cleaner didn’t stop by before our visit, but there was mold in the shower & bathroom ceiling, dirty walls & light-switches. We had some sanitizing wipes with us so we ended up wiping down all switches and door knobs ourselves which was disappointing. The mattresses were VERY thin even by UK standards and there was no privacy if you wanted the windows open as you’re on the main floor so everyone walking by will see inside, some privacy curtains would be great (especially in the bathroom). Our biggest issue we ran into was after our flight and arriving late in the evening to the apartment and having to wipe down knobs and switches, we pulled back the covers and the sheets were very old and stained, we didn’t feel comfortable sleeping in them. Unfortunately it was close to 11pm and not much could be done so we ended up sleeping on top of the thin duvet and debated cutting our losses and booking another place for the next two nights. I messaged Victor & he responded in the morning and had someone come bring fresh sheets while we were out during the day. They left an apology note & a gift which was appreciated but between the old stained sheets and the dirty walls and switches it made us wonder what the cleaning fee we paid was for…
TLDR; Ok place to book if you’re not planning to be in the apartment other than to crash for the night and are looking for a cheap place close to city center. Personally would not re-book due to cleanliness issues & uncomfortable mattress, but you get what you pay for (minus the cleaning fee..)
