We chose Paul's apartment because of its proximity to the Royal Mile & Edinburgh Castle plus it offers all the amenities we need. The location was just perfect for our stay and the place was clean and surprisingly quiet (with all the tour buses and other tourists walking along the very busy street to Edinburgh Castle)! We could have given the apartment a 5-star rating but unfortunately, the TV and washing machine were not working during our stay. We were not able to watch the royal wedding on 19 May and we had to wash our clothes by hand as we did not bring enough hoping that we could do some washing in the apartment. These were not fixed until the day we left. We stayed for 6 nights. We also learned our lesson that should we have similar issues in the future, we should always use AirBnb's messages to communicate with the host despite being provided a phone number to use for texting our issues. We know that Paul tried to have our issues resolved but it just was not to be until we left. We hope that these issues will be resolved before the next renters come.
