I wish I was writing a better review.
I was excited to stay at Alex's place after looking at the gorgeous photos and great reviews. However as I arrived in Edinburgh ready to check in Alex had messaged to say the oven was not working. I was planning on eating out, but I did want to use the flat to do some baking. I booked the flat instead of a hotel for this reason. So i was disappointed at that to begin with. Alex's message made it seem that she had only just discovered the oven was not working. I was told if i try to use it the electricity will cut out. But after reading reviews Alex left on others profiles it appears this was an ongoing issue. I had booked the flat days in advance and she had much opportunity to tell me about the oven yet only informed me a few hours before check in when i had no funds and no place else to stay.
I then got to the flat. Check in was simple however when turning the key in the door it doesnt always turn you have to fiddle with it.
First impressions of flat were overall nice. A few things like used toiletries and bath sponges in shower, out of date food in fridge and spiders on window could have been avoided with a little more care. I expected the flat to be gleaming due to the amount I had paid for it and sadly it wasnt.
Other than the above issues it is a very cosy flat and nicely decorated. Alex was prompt in responding to messages as well.
