The stay is at a beautiful and scenic location, just on the shoreline. The place is was very clean and well connected through public transport.
However, there were some major concerns with communication with the host and host was money minded:
- the host asked us more money after confirming the booking quoting that, she had wrongly mentioned lesser price, and gave us option to either accept it or that she will cancel the booking. We had to accept as we were already in transit and had very limited connectivity to explore other options
- the wifi at the property was not working and host said that it has stopped just before we arrived and should be fixed soon. The wifi didn't work for our entire stay and host refused to intervene after couple of follow ups and was not ready to give proper answer.
- It is hard to believe that in a country like UK, it takes 96 hours to fix the internet. When we asked Airbnb to help, they offered us refund which impacted the host and she asked us to vacate the place and said that she is not making any money on this and had listed the place on Airbnb for someone else to book, which is practically impossible.
Overall, it was a bad experience for us, as the host was not cooperative and kept saying that you can cancel the booking and vacate. Half our time went into coordinating with Airbnb to get some resolution and kind of spoiled our time in Edinburgh.
