We think it’s really important to provide accurate information to help people make an informed decision about where to stay. This option is in a great tourist location at the bottom of the RoyalMile and really close to major sites such as Carlton Hill, Holywoid. Arthur’s Seat etc. The accommodation is clean and bright. However, it is very basic and felt somewhat unloved.
Thé building itself is quite worn but the stairwell is well lit at night. There are a considerable number of stairs to climb so it will only be suitable for those fit enough to do so.
A number of items, usually found in Airbnbs are missing such as a lack of instructions / guidance info / welcome pack. There are few useful, essential kitchen items eg.only one teaspoon, one mug and one bowl but two of us as guests. However, there were 3 large teapots!!
There was no extra bedding or extra towels ie. one hand towel and two larger towels. An extra hand towel would have been appreciated.
There are blinds on the windows but a lot of light still gets through in the mornings so bring eye masks. On the plus side the windows are large and provide a good daytime view.
It is ok for a very short stay such as one night but we stayed for 3 nights and found it lacking in lots of areas. Definitely not the positive experience we are used to through Airbnb.
