The location of this apartment was great if you want to be in the hustle and bustle of the royal mile. It was a bit loud at times with street noise from the pub across the street, but it wasn’t that bad. And it was to be expected given that you’re staying in old town.
The apartment itself has the basics of what you need in an Airbnb. It’s pretty accurate to the photos.
We found the bed quite hard. And it was also a bit small for two adults (it’s a double in Canada).
The bathroom also seemed mouldy. Especially the shower curtain and blind which covers the bathroom window.
You have to climb up to the third floor to access the apartment. And you can sometimes hear noise from the hallways from other people who live or stay in the building.
During our stay, there was a lot of garbage which littered the courtyard used to access the apartment. This was pretty disgusting. I’m not sure if the garbage situation is always like this, given I haven’t read other reviews which mention it. But it definitely wasn’t a pretty sight or smell when we entered and exited the apartment.
Overall, the apartment is decent given its excellent location. But given some of the negatives we encountered, it still seemed fairly expensive.
