More shabby than chic. Don’t get us wrong, we enjoyed an amazing Hogmanay in Edinburgh but were, well a little disappointed with the apartment. Tired and in desperate, desperate need of some TLC sums it up.

The initial wow soon vaporises when you realise that most of the electrics run via chains of extension leads from just TWO sockets, plug in fan heaters included, the ‘home made’ kitchen so cluttered it’s almost unusable and heating totally inadequate for such a large space! It wasn't even cold outside so what it would be like inside if sub zero outside, I can't imagine!

Its very eclectic, oozes charm but the practicalities of finding light to dine by, useable utensils to cook with, freezer space that isn’t occupied by other peoples stuff that seems to have been in there forever and just… clutter. Clutter everywhere!

The plus sides are the location, charming neighbourhoods nearby and ease of getting out to see the sights.

Stephen! You are sitting on a gold mine and need to up your game. Basic at best, this place is in serious need of an upgrade!
