We were a family of 5 visiting Edinburgh for the sites. Children aged 12-7. We have just returned from a wonderful Jubilee weekend there.
Pros:
* Ideal location for walking everywhere in the centre. We only needed a bus to visit the Royal Yacht in Leith.
* It’s near a Tesco’s, Playhouse Theatre, coffee shops, independent bookshop, Calton Hill, Mama Roma restaurant.
* Beautiful views from the flat
* High ceilings.
* Plenty of space for us all.
* Alison was really quick to respond when we couldn’t connect to Wi-Fi and it was sorted quickly. She also dealt quickly with the fact the flat was not very clean when we arrived. She offered a reclean immediately which we declined.
* Smart TV
* 3 bathrooms
Cons:
* The flat was advertised as “luxury” but did not meet this expectation.
* The flat is very tired - old mattresses, lots of mismatched furniture and wobbly chairs
* It was not as clean as I would expect, especially in these Covid times - a number of issues I raised with Alison who was incredibly apologetic.
* Bedlinen (only 50% cotton) and synthetic bedding is cheap.
* There is one bedroom overlooking the street which has a lot traffic waking up the kids early.
* Main bedroom only has a thin white blind so if light wakes you - sleep in another room.
