There is much to love about this unit, and after traveling for nearly a year, doing month-long rentals throughout Europe, this place lands near the top of our list. The loft-style design makes the whole place feel quite spacious while also adding dimension. There's massive closet space throughout and luxury linens and towels. Moreover, there are extras so that long-term renters can switch out when needed. The kitchen was also very well stocked with most of the basics you'd need to cook meals in--from high quality cookware to plenty of dishes/silverware, from salt & pepper, spices and oil to tupperware for storing extra food. There's a great deal of counterspace--far more than any other rental we've been in as well as spacious, deep cabinets for storing groceries. The fridge is full size, and there's even ice trays. In short, this was a fully functional kitchen in every sense and will save individuals from having to buy a bunch of supplies. We loved being able to settle in and cook ourselves full meals, saving on eating out so much.
The location of the unit is great, especially given the 7 & 14 buses right around the corner, which will take you into old town. There's a cornucopia of grocery stores all within walking distance, and there's even a large gym over at the Ocean Terminal, which offers daily and monthly passes. It's walkable to the port and Leith has a vibrant, artsy feel to it with LOTS of cute cafes, restaurants, and pubs. We were working from the unit for month, and can vouch that the wifi is fast, able to support two people on zoom calls simultaneously. We never had any outages or problems. One thing to note is that the workspace is quite small, so often only one person could fit at the highboy table while the other was relegated to working from the couch.
The bathroom has solid water pressure and ample hot water, though occasionally it does spurt as if there's air in the pipes. This did not bother us but is just something to be aware of. The only other issue we encountered was a dirty carpet when we arrived, but David, the host, was super responsive in addressing this issue for us. Like most lived-in places, there is also the occasional mold/mildew build up in the shower and dust collecting on surfaces, but there's lots of cleaning equipment provided if these issues are problematic during one's stay. We found David to be easy-going, responsive, and friendly. He went above and beyond for us when some of our Christmas presents, intended to be shipped back to the US, got rejected by Royal Mail after our departure. If this doesn't speak to both David's character and his impressive hospitality, I don't know what does!
I highly recommend this place, and should my husband and I come back to Edinburgh, we are going to seek this place back out!
