My partner and I stayed at Pier's flat for 1 week in October and had a lovely stay. The flat is compact but tastefully decorated and thoughtfully outfitted with everything we needed to work remotely from the flat. We did not have any issues with the internet (I don't remember exactly what the wifi speed was, but perhaps around 30-40 mbps download and 5-10 mbps upload), and the lighting throughout the flat was bright and warm.
Pier & Monica were very responsive and accommodating of several requests we made, including increasing the Nest heating temperature, providing us with a couple US --> UK electric adaptors, and letting us check in early. They were great hosts and we would gladly stay with them again in the future.
A few other logistical things future guests might find useful:
- The flat is located right across from a primary school so we could hear schoolchildren playing outside during the day. This was not an issue for us, but not something we anticipated.
- The apartment does not have an elevator, so one does need to walk 4 flights of stairs to get to the flat.
-There were 2 grocery stores within close walking distance, and several coffee shops and restaurants also within easy walking distance. It's about a 30 minute walk to the Edinburgh city center. There are also several bus stops right outside the flat that one can take to get to other places in the city.
All in all, we had a 5-star stay and would recommend Pier's listing to travelers looking for a place in Edinburgh!
