Overall, we had a great stay at Mandy's place. I was visiting Edinburgh for a conference and my boyfriend tagged along. I found the place homey, warm, and convenient for my needs. It was quiet at night. The apartment is stylish and well laid-out, and I really liked all the light-colored wood built-ins. The kitchen was well stocked and worked well. On the other hand, my boyfriend found it to not be very suitable for working and spending time inside during the day: there is building work on a block of flats outside the window, as well as some work being done inside the building. The couch is not very comfortable, and the other seating options are all stools without backrests.
