My boyfriend and I booked this stay for a few nights in Edinburgh and found the location really convenient. Portobello is a lovely place to explore as well so we had fun on the beach and visiting the local restaurants. Derek checked us in and it was a nice, relaxed experience covering all the essentials. At the time, we weren’t sure if we were able to use the garden (I see it’s in the listing now) but to be honest, we were out and about most of the time anyway.
There were a couple of challenges with the space that my boyfriend struggled with: he’s not very tall (5’10”) but did find the bathroom mirror uncomfortable to use for shaving, because it was set fairly low on the wall and he had to bend over the whole time. The bed was also quite soft which he didn’t find that comfortable - but it might be great for someone else. Lastly, the shower was very small and dark, and I think there was a bit of mould or stained grout at the bottom - but for the cost and the location, this was a good stay for us and we’d consider staying again if we come back to Edinburgh.
