The apartment is really beautiful. Very nicely remodeled and decorated and has a lot of natural light. Living room, bedrooms and kitchen/dining area are spacious. It would have been great to have an extra bathroom but we managed well.
The Smith family who owns the house left a lot of area advise regarding Edinburgh!
Cottages.com was not so great. We entered the house on a Friday. The indication for the key was perfect but then, when we went to the 3rd floor the apartment door was wide open. Everything was good anyways.
There was no extra set of keys as they said we would find in the kitchen. When I wrote to them to let them know, they never replied.
After 3 days, when we had already left the apartment, I received a message from cottages.com advising me to contact the cleaner regarding the key. We were already out of town.
So, the apartment is GREAT! But don't expect any help from the administrators...
