Location was great. The pub beside the flat had delicious food. Unfortunately, the flat wasn’t very clean and lots of things were not functional. When we arrived, a window was left wide open and we could not close it. We tried to close the door to the living room to isolate the cold air but then when you moved the door the door fell out of its hinge. There was a shelf in a bedroom that was on the verge of collapse and we were afraid it would fall on us while we slept. It was nice to have a functional kitchen and washing machine but the drying rack for laundry was broken. Pots and pans were pretty beat up but dishes and cutlery were in good shape. There was mould in the caulk by the sink. Washer had mold in it. Bathroom was ok except the tub is showing it’s age and there was mould by the caulking. None of the windows really close fully. As others mentioned, you,can hear the fan in the other building but that was fine. It was some white noise to fall asleep to. We found the flat to be pretty quiet. Great location near airport, Edinburgh castle, and a nice pub.
The host was responsive to our concerns, but could not come to fix the broken items until the following day. They eventually sent someone the next day in the late afternoon to fix the window and remove the shelf.
