Positives always first-
We liked staying in Colin’s flat.
It was close to the train station
The check in instructions were clear and easy to follow
The list of recommendations around Edinburgh were great!
The kitchen amenities were very helpful for cooking which was good for a family stay!
Things which would have made it better-
The bed was extremely hard, I thought it was me being pregnant and maybe sensitive but my husband couldn’t sleep on it either. We were told to layer towels or blankets which we did attempt although little improvement.
Please note bed comfort is very subjective and this was just our preference! Im sure it would be perfect for others.
There was no Netflix but a now tv - there wasn’t an account we could access and was suggested we get our own trial account? We attempted this and as foreigners we couldn’t complete an account as we don’t have this in our country. Perhaps an account?
Not that tv is the point of a holiday but it would have helped on a rainy day in.
We bought some dvds from the save the children foundation and left them in the flat, thought this could start a pay it forward for others to follow if they wished!
For families - the flat being on the ground floor isn’t ideal. It’s very very loud with people coming and going all hours of the night. Wouldn’t recommend for a family with young children like ours unless you want tired kids to pull around the city.
This again was just our experience as we aren’t used to that level of noise.
