We are a traveling American family with a 12 yr old son and we ADORED this flat. The location cannot be beat for the price range especially. The unit was clean and updated with great beds/pillows. This is a must for us especially when traveling. The bathroom and kitchen are new. They worked great and excellent to have a washer and detergent. No idea why no one in Scotland seems to have a dryer but hanging up clothes was ok. Takes 1+ days to dry so be prepared. We were just blocks to absolutely every tour, attraction, or bus stop to go to an attraction. This saved us time and money daily. If you needed to sleep on the couch you could comfortably. Netflix access is available after a long day of hiking around if you like. There is no air conditioning like with most of the other flats. We were very comfortable with open windows and the cross breeze. Let’s talk about the noise. It did not bother me but there was partying in the street most of the night every night. I believe the location and bedrooms towards the back alley make up for this noise. As it gets cooler you can close the windows and it’s not an issue at all. The building itself is extremely quiet. No noises from above or below us which is a welcome change when traveling. I only mention the noise to set expectations. I sincerely believe the price, the new beds, the updates, and the location far outweigh the pubs that are right there. Just want everyone to know what to expect. This is a great place to stay and we will be back. NOTE: the building itself looks sad and tired. I was extremely concerned walking into the building. Do not worry, it’s clean enough and the flat is lovely.
