On first glance this apartment is a really nice and well located Airbnb however there are a few things that aren’t quite up to scratch.
The flat is in a nice area right next to Arthur’s seat and a few other attractions but be warned it’s a solid 20 minute walk to the centre of town/royal mile. We took an Uber most times we needed to get into the centre.
Our main issue with this Airbnb was the kitchen. We stayed here over Christmas and wanted a place with a kitchen as we knew places would be closed etc. Whilst trying to cook food on Christmas Day we encountered numerous issues with the stove top and realised that it was an induction stove top and the wrong type of pots and pans were provided. This causes the stove top to stop working completely. On the plus side we message Nick’s team on Christmas Day and got a response but it was no use as we couldn’t buy food or new pots (we shouldn’t have to anyway). The most disappointing part of this situation is that it has been complained about before (if you read back through the reviews) and still hasn’t been corrected. It unfortunately put a big dampener on our Christmas Day.
A few other little things to note:
- the toilet was missing the plastic cap that covers the flush button
- kitchen sink tap wasn’t fitted into the bench properly
- the entryway into the building isn’t the most inviting although this didn’t bother us once we saw the apartment
Other than all this it is a clean, nicely decorated flat with mostly all the amenities you would need.
