The apartment was exactly as shown in the photos! Beautiful and cozy. The welcome package which included snacks was very much appreciated. The location was quite convenient as well, although we rented a car during our stay which made getting around super easy, parking was easily available at the Airbnb at no extra cost. While having a car was convenient, parking in Edinburgh was quite expensive, often £5 per hour with no options for full day parking.
While the apartment was great, we had a few challenges. For 3 out of 6 mornings there was no hot water at the Airbnb, a huge inconvenience considering the time of year that we visited ie late Nov/ early Dec. There were times when the host wasn't very responsive ie we had to wait for at least a couple of hours before we got a response which was a little frustrating as we had a jam packed schedule and would spend most of our time away from the Airbnb, usually with no wifi or data. Hopefully the issue is not fixed permanently.
