Terri Yin's place in Edinburgh was unfortunately not what my family and I had hoped. The pictures (and description) make the place look a lot more spacious than it actually is. The washroom is quite small, especially the sink. It's probably about 7-8 inches, so it's very hard not to splash water everywhere while using it. The bedroom is accurate to the photo description. The living area is not nearly as spacious as it looks in photos.
My main issue with the apartment was the dirty underwear that was left on the floor of the bedroom. This proved that the apartment had not been thoroughly cleaned.
The lack of amenities that were listed on the Airbnb site was my second biggest issue. I informed Terri that there would be four people staying, my mom, dad, brother and myself. However, we were only left with three bath towels. One of which we were using as a hand towel in the wash room before realizing there were no more towels. One dirty towel was found on our last day under the bed, further proving the apartment had not been thoroughly cleaned. There was also no hand soap in the wash room, no shampoo as listed, no hangers or even a closet to hang anything (only coat hooks outside of the bedroom), and an iron table but no iron. The adapters/surge protectors are very finicky and required us to wedge a folded piece of paper between the plug in order for it to work, but I would still wake up with a phone not charged.
I emailed Terri right away regarding the lack of amenities and dirty underwear and received no response from that time all the way until check-out (other than an automated response).
The building is old and there is no upkeep, which Terri warned me about, but the location is not bad. It's about a 10-15 minute Uber/cab ride to the main area of the Royal Mile or Edinburgh Castle and only a 7 minute ride to the Waverly train station. The area is nice and quiet and check-in was quite easy.
Overall, I don't think the price I paid was nearly worth it considering the small space, lack of amenities, lack of cleanliness and lack of response.
