This flat is in an excellent location near local shops, cafes bakeries, supermarkets and public transport. The flat is characterful with period features and interesting art works.
Our major concern (and it was a serious one) was that when we arrived, the flat had not been cleaned at all since the previous clients! This was extremely distressing and could have been dangerous as we are in the COVID19 pandemic. The owner responded right away saying there had been a mixup with our dates. The cleaning team came round within 15 minutes to attend to it while we absented ourselves. They finished quickly (within 1.5 hours) and the place was clean when we returned with a few minor exceptions, like the kitchen units’ handles. The cleaners gave us a bottle of Prosecco (which we did not feel like drinking) and Lindsay refunded our first night’s fee in compensation. The windows do not open as they are painted shut and we did not feel very comfortable with no air circulating so we spent much time with the back door open.
Having said that, the flat was otherwise comfortable and well equipped and we may well return to this very convenient location when we come back to Edinburgh but we will need an absolute guarantee that the flat will be cleaned beforehand!
