This is a perfectly situated flat in Stockbridge. A few minutes walk away from Stockbridge high street and about 20-30 minutes walk into Edinburgh City centre. It is a beautiful tenement building and on a gorgeous road with a crescent literally around the corner and a walk along the Water of Leith moments away.
The flat is lovely, although could do with some updates in places. It could have been cleaner (dusty skirting boards when we arrived but we did some cleaning ourselves as still covid cautious so this might not bother others) but all of the main areas you really want to be clean - the bathroom and kitchen etc - were spotless.
Our only real complaint is that the kitchen wasn't as well equipped as we'd expect. We really like to cook so one of the reasons we use Air BnB is to cook whilst away. There is just a few pans and not any oven dishes/baking trays (just the ones acting as shelves in the oven) and not colander, which makes things a bit tricker when cooking.
There was also no soap or kitchen roll and only a few dishwasher tablets and loo roll. I have raised this with ALTIDO directly. I would recommend either being prepared to buy a few basics you might need when here or bring a few bits with you. Altido were very good at communicating so it might just be worth checking what you can expect before you go so you can take bits with you.
We drove Edinburgh and found £7 per day parking about a 10 minute walk from the flat. Altido offer a discount at a multistorey car park, but it's in the city centre so not as convenient (and more expensive even with a discount!).
It is a lovely flat in a stunning part of Edinburgh. It's quiet, beautiful and has lots of cafes,shops, restaurants within walking distance. It's a great distance for the city centre too.
I would definitely come back to stay here again - I just hope they have afew more pans and some soap next time!
