We stayed in the room for 4 nights, the room itself was clean and nice. We also liked the location as it is in a walkable distance from major city’s landmarks ( 30-40 min away from the city centre, 15 min from Arthur’s seat).
But unfortunately we had a huge problem with the hospitality of our host. My friend spent 20 minutes by the door waiting for it to be opened as nobody was answering the phone that was provided in the Airbnb account.
Furthermore, Gaya was rude and impolite. She mentioned that she only provided ‘a bed to sleep in and nothing more’. She suggested that I was making too many questions whereas I was only asking about general things that I a tourist would be curious about (weather in Edinburgh in March, heating, car rental etc).
A number of things were not mentioned in the house rules (i.e. recycling, dinner area, available space n the fridge) so we had an argument about that with her as well.
However at the end of the stay I agreed with her to leave my luggage in the house after the check out hour which was helpful.
