We chose this flat specifically for the location which is amazing. Waverly Station, Princes Street and the Royal Mile is a very short walk. In addition, there is a lovely little garden and you have the feeling that you are staying in a cottage in the middle of town. Overall, my daughter and I loved our stay and would return.
Here are some pros and cons:
The flat is just like in the pictures and very pleasant. The big white sofa is a double sofa bed (a little uncomfortable). The double bed in the bedroom is great with a very comfortable mattress. The kitchen is great too with a big table for dining in. Bathroom is also fine. Everything very clean! However, the place has just a little bit of that musty smell that comes with being a garden flat. I know from experience that people who are allergic might object to this.
The garden is so lovely and you can sit in the open come rain or shine. Really a great bonus.
We didn’t get that we were supposed to lock ourselves in/ out before late in the process, but it seems to be standard for this flat. I had a few questions during our stay and the various staff I spoke to on the phone were certainly very polite and helpful. Communication overall was extremely swift.
I do like my airbnb experience to be personal, to have someone greet you, show you around and chat with you, and I didn’t get that this time. That is a matter of taste, and in all important aspects I can absolutely recommend this flat.
