Positives:
- The location (right on the royal mile) is fantastic with plenty of things to do within easy walking distance.
- The host seems friendly and happy to help
- The apartment is well equipped.
- The lounge has a balcony with a nice view.
Negatives:
- The apartment could have been cleaner. Some bits looked a bit tired due to wear and tear, but looking past those, some bits needed a better clean (I've left more specific details for the host).
- Being on the Royal Mile is great, however the bedrooms are literally over the road which has traffic throughout the night. Even with the windows closed, this was quite noisy. I wouldn't want to stay in the summer when you'd want the windows open. Perhaps someone used to that sort of noise would be fine with it though.
- The furniture and soft furnishings (pillows etc) felt low quality. Unfortunately this made it feel more like staying in a friend's student house, which certainly doesn't reflect the amount paid per night.
