Lovely home in Edinburgh. Within walking distance of Waverley train station (approx 10 minutes downhill) although coming back up the hill daily was quite exhausting.
Apartment looks exactly like pictures. Everything was clean and comfortable. Beautifully decorated.
Check in was simple although quite late in the day at 4pm meaning we had to sit around at the shops for almost 3 hours.
No lift which we did know prior.
The television does not have free to air channels so could not watch any news. Could only watch playback shows.
The WIFI dropped out every night from approximately 12am to 8am which made replying to emails back home (Australian time) impossible. Also, you cannot watch any TV when the internet isn’t working.
As previous reviews have stated there are many noise restrictions at this property which did not worry us as we consider ourselves respectful and looking for a quiet stay ourselves.
That being said I did not appreciate the message from the host at 9:30pm telling me that we are exceeding the noise restrictions. I asked how this was possible as we were only watching television (My father does use hearing aids but I feel it was still at a reasonable level) Host informed me that the monitor they have in the house alerted her.
I suspect it was because I had a shower and dried my hair so if night time personal hygiene is your thing maybe this place isn’t for you.
Although the host was polite, I felt incredibly uncomfortable with this message. Glad to have left the next morning which is a shame because it’s a lovely property.
