Absolutely wonderful central flat, everything just steps from the door. Could not be in a better location, truly.
Note - regarding review about not being able to get key in door - just wanted to say we had ZERO problem with that. It was always easy.
Stairs were as described, but not bad at all for us. 3 sections/flights - not huge flights, but it is a teeny work out.
Flat itself is superbly furnished (loved the Danish living room furniture!!). Dishes, TP, dish soap, laundry detergent. No bath soap (that I could find) so don’t forget that. We always bring one (or borrow from the previous hotel ;). Our teen loved having own room...how rare to find a 2 bedroom.
Shower was great size!
Couldn’t believe we had no idea that the Fringe Fest and Art fest we’re going on! The city was a giant party and buzzing. Tons and tons of people but never felt like “too much” - and I often dislike crowds. I think bc the atmosphere was so happy. Street performers everywhere. So much fun! I HIGHLY recommend August if traveling to Edinburgh! Given that, there was some noise outside window. Bar patrons, passers-by, fireworks - but after about 11, it settled down. Honestly, these things didn’t bother us terribly...we are always so grateful to be able to travel and stay in someone’s flat, like a true native, and the sights and sounds and people and occasional nuisances are all a part of that experience. Would stay here again in a heartbeat (and hope to very soon - month of August for sure!!).
Rachel - what can I say - she was a sweetheart from the moment I first messaged her. She patiently chatted with me through my hotel cancellation delay. Holding the flat for us. Quick to respond with any questions we had throughout stay. Generous. Kind. Lovely. You’ll be taken care of if you stay here.
HIGHLY recommend.
Thank you, Rachel!!!
