A few things to note…
The bed is not very comfortable at all and is incredibly squeaky! Unless you sleep perfectly still, you’ll hear the noise. The bed definitely needs replacing.
The flat’s front door is very close to the main entrance door to the whole block of flats. A lot of noise passes through the door/ walls. We regularly heard neighbours entering and exiting the building, dogs barking and so on. If you’re a light sleeper, definitely bring some ear plugs.
The blind doesn’t stop much light coming into the bedroom either so along with the ear plugs, bring an eye mask!
The last thing to mention is the location of the flat. Whilst it is close to Old Town and the castle (about a 10 minute walk) after speaking to locals who live in Edinburgh, we also found out it’s also close to three strip clubs and a needle exchange. Whilst we had no problem with this, I think it’s worth noting.
The flat was clean, modern and stylish, and for us, we were hardly there as we were exploring the city. Not the best place if you’re wanting to spend time in the property, but if you want it as a base for exploring the city, it’s absolutely fine.
