Arrived in Edinburgh in the morning of my booking after a late night coach journey.
Due to the arrival time I had already spoken with Rohaan about potentially checking in early or even just leaving my bags in the flat.
Rohaan was super accommodating and gave a couple of options : an early check in at 1pm for free or push it forward to 9am (as the flat was unoccupied the night before) for an additional £20. Took him up of the latter offer and was able to settle down immediately on arrival.
Flat is in a building with a quite sketchy looking front door & hallway. All a bit dark, edgy and in a bit of a state of disrepair. Any worries you might have about the flat after seeing this will immediately go once you access the flat.
Light, airy, clean and with all the expected amenities. Actually a lot more spacious than I thought from the pictures and the interior is nicely decorated.
Kitchen full of everything you might need for a stay, bathroom a little on the small side but this is to be expected in a 1 bedroom flat. Living room has a nice & comfortable sofa (rare to find for someone as tall as me) and a dining table if you want to eat dinner while you’re staying.
Couple of things to mention :
• Shower easily has the best water pressure I’ve ever experienced. Absolutely divine!
• Lots of local shops around (including a big Sainsbury’s about 10 mins from the flat)
• Bus from town stops directly outside the flat and the one to head in to town is super close too.
• Steps up to the flat are quite steep, definitely take your time going up and down them.
• Main front door is quite heavy and slams pretty heavily if you don’t close it gently yourself.
• If you like to play music, bring a speaker as there isn’t one in the flat (didn’t expect one and this is not at all a negative)
• Slightly unwelcoming neighbours in the building the only downside, again not a negative for Rohaan or the stay as he can have no influence over the other tenants.
All in all, exactly what I expected with a few nice surprises.
Great job Rohaan, I’ll definitely look to book with you again the next time I’m up in Edinburgh.
