Rachel's apartment is a wonderful little spot! I enjoyed my time here and it was easy to feel like home in this apartment. The view is fantastic, especially during sunset when the Fife hills change color.
The location is so central and convenient, but because it is on the Mound, you will find yourself always walking uphill! There's a front and back entrance that are on different levels which I was grateful for multiple times over. This saved some effort on the hills depending on which direction you were headed.
I had a hot water issue during my stay and Rachel was quick to respond and resolve the issue. She was such a great host and made sure I was taking care of and I always felt like I could reach out to her if I had any questions.
For light sleepers, I would definitely recommend earplugs. Because of the location, the streets outside can get a little loud on weekend nights. There's also floor creaking that you'll hear from the upstairs neighbor. This didn't dampen my stay, but a good thing to be aware of.
The laundry room is convenient on the floor below. There's a drying rack in the apartment that I used. The dryers are very British in that it can take quite a while to get a thorough drying, so I typically ended up using the drying rack for the final stage.
Overall, I would recommend this apartment to anyone and would be happy to stay here again next time I'm in town!
