I booked this room for a 3 week stay in Edinburgh.
This airbnb acts more like a mini hostel vs a more traditional airbnb stay. There are three rooms in total. You share the bathroom with one other room and share the common areas with everyone.
Overall my stay was generally pleasant. The biggest issue was cleanliness, even after I checked in early and watch the cleaners clean, I was surprised by the lack of thoroughness within my own room and the common areas. I couldn’t be bothered to complain and did some cleaning of my own. During my stay, Paul wasn’t living in the flat and I imagine he would have noticed the cleanliness issue with the hired cleaners as well.
Because I was staying for longer, I cooked a lot of meals to save money. The kitchen had an interesting mix of utensils/equipment. Certain things could definitely be replaced (i.e. the chef’s knife was super dull which made it difficult to cut harder vegetable, certain pots/pans were very old). As with most mini fridges, it’s never really at an optimal coldness to keep produce items fresh for as long as possible.
Not sure if the listing has changed but when I originally booked it, the flat was advertised to include Netflix, but the TV was only in Room C. Not a big deal as I had my own Netflix account but for those hoping to watch some Netflix in their downtime, it wasn’t included with the room.
Pros: couldn’t have asked for a better location in Leith. 2 minutes away from a Lidl and Tesco, extremely well connected to the city by bus and a simple 30 minute walk into the city centre. Many bars/restaurants nearby. Very spacious room.
