A mixed bag of emotions on this particular experience.
Without doubt, the property location is fantastic and the property itself is lovely! A special mention to some of the historical ornaments inside the apartment, these made for great conversation.
Unfortunately, our experience was marred by the front door key not working once. Each time, we had to call various apartments to let us into the property. On a number of occasions, this was pretty early in the morning after a couple of Edinburgh sherbets. We found this embarrassingly difficult to do and owners of the other apartments were pretty unhappy about it.
We therefore conducted less activities than planned, spent more time in the apartment than hoped and cut our second night very short in order to get back before waking other apartments up.
The key issue was fundamental in making our overall experience not as great as it could and should have been.
We’re defiantly not one to moan, we have stayed all over the world from shacks to villas but I’m sure most would find this an inconvenience. No solution or compensation was offered, the empathy and help from the host/owners was somewhat lacking in our opinion.
This was the most we have spent on accomodation in the UK. Was it value for money, probably not to be honest and with the key issue, it definitely tainted things for us.
Apart from that, there were some positives and Edinburgh itself is always a brilliant city to visit.
In review; good location, nice apartment - could be much better but don’t be put off by our experience!
