We were greeted by Oliver, who adjusted to our being late contending with an accident on the motorway. Oliver was very helpful, he showed us everything about the flat and even drew us a map to every local stop you could think of, even where to get a nice Indian curry. He replaced a coffee maker that the previous tenants had broken, and came to flat late at night to fix the boiler. Oliver gets a ten out of ten! The flat is as advertised, so be aware that it is that cramped as it looks in the pictures. There is a nice big living area with comfy couches and big windows, even a fireplace, but hallways the kitchen and bedrooms, save for the master, are tiny. The master bedroom is a very nice spacious room, the ensuite is wee, but manageable. The flat does have nice big windows that let in a lot of light, but also a lot of sound. We arrived just prior to the Edinburgh festival and it was very noisy, even with the windows closed. You couldn't ask for a better location, the flat is right on the royal mile, a short walk to Hollyrood park in one direction, and Edinburgh castle in the other, plus plenty of museums, restaurants and tourist shops just about everywhere. In the summer high street is filled with buskers and performers too. It is also close to the train station, and the Airlink all night bus to the airport is a fifteen-minute walk. The showers were by far the most finky we had in all of the UK. At first we couldn't get hot water at all. Oliver came over to fix it, for some reason the hot water had been turned off, again Oliver was so very helpful. Even with the hot water on it was hard to get the temperature to more than Luke warm. You can get a hot shower but not without fifteen to twenty minutes of fiddling with dials. The Wifi was horrible, most of the time it would last for a minute and then cut out entirely. This flat is not ideal if you want to plan your vacation and Google things on the fly, not without a good data plan anyway. The flat was okay for a short stay, but there are just one too many draw backs that make it ideal for a longer one, you really can't beat the location though. If you intend to spend basically only your time sleeping here and the rest of your time sightseeing, then this is the flat for you.
