Plus points-good location (20 min walk to old city, very close to holyrood Park and Arthur's seat, loads of eateries, grocery stores along the way), spacious apartment. Located on a street with lots of heavy traffic, right at a signal which means a lot of traffic noise, but the bedrooms are on the inner end of the apartment and the noise is not heard there. We'll equipped kitchen gadjets (microwave, water heater, toaster)
Negative points - very weak WiFi, ended up using our data. Relatively clean apartment, but floors were grimy... Good we used slippers.. The bathroom floor rug showed dirt stains the first night when it got wet. Separate hot and cold taps in the bathroom sink (which is very small in an otherwise small narrow bathroom) which means one can't mix the hot and cold for a pleasant temperature, you either get very hot or very cold water. No toiletries provided (shower gel was listed, but wasn't provided. Due to covid?). Minimal with cutlery and plates/bowls (4 of each), but there was dishwasher liquid. Also found salt and a bottle of oil. Cooking pans were clean enough to use. Baking pan had dried up grease and there was no alumínium foil, so couldn't use that. Plates were greasy on the underside.
Host is quick to respond, but we had a bit of a glitch. Initially she responded promptly to enquiries about how to get to the place from the airport. About 3 days before arrival I asked her how the check in works (as per airbnb rules /guidelines it should be provided 3 days before stay starts, ie. 72 hrs prior). I didn't hear from the host for half a day and when she did answer, she said it would be provided over the weekend (we were arriving on Monday). Long story short,she took a little longer than usual to respond, I enquired with customer service who resolved the matter. Host didn't like that I approached customer service and then said that she usually gives the code 48 hrs prior. Had she told me this in her previous messages, I wouldn't have gone further. Like I said a small gap in comminication, otherwise she is prompt. On day 3 we wanted to use the gas stove for an evening snack.... It wouldn't light. I called the host and it turned out that there was no gas, so had to activate the emergency credit (this should have been one of the important things to check before guest arrival). Tv would switch on on its own 2 hours after turning it off (apparently there is a swith on the wall, but we didn't find it, and there is no mention of it anywhere). Lights in the living room didn't work (or we did not know the trick there), lights in the hallway have 2 switches, so also tricky (no mention of the workings of the nitty gritty anywhere).
All in all it is a spacious apartment in a good location with a few minute details which can be easily fixed.
