We visited Edinburgh for 3 nights and stayed here. The flat is beautiful, the windows are gorgeous and the decor is so stylish. TV is huge and there’s games, DVDs and books. We spent our last evening in the flat with a takeaway as we were leaving at 3am and we felt so at home.
The kitchen was really handy and absolutely immaculate - literally not a speck of dust or dirty cutlery in sight. We were seriously impressed by how clean it was. The oven, microwave, sink etc all looked like it had never been used!
We found it a bit of a trek into Edinburgh as there are lots of road works on going (almost every road) so the bus took around 30-40 mins each way, but there are so many regular buses (one every couple of mins from The Shore, we mostly used the 16 and 22 bus) and we actually quite enjoyed the journeys. May be something for other’s visiting soon to take into consideration. The 5pm journeys took us approximately 50 mins to get back as the traffic was chaos amongst all the diversions. Getting back to town for dinner in the evening was much quicker and we did this twice.
We would have appreciated a little guide of the local area, even just to highlight which buses are best and where to catch it as we ended up having to ask a local for help getting back from town to Leith.
The only minor issue we had was that we returned home one evening around 11:30pm to find that the key to the main door of the building wouldn’t go in. Philip had already explained that the keys are a little stiff but it just wouldn’t go in. We tried for around 30 mins before eventually trying to call Phillip. We couldn’t get hold of him and thought we’d have to book another hotel for the night! Eventually we managed to wake (and upset) one of the other residents in the building who let us in, it appeared the lock had moved slightly so the key wouldn’t go in the barrel. Although not a major issue as we did eventually get in - this could have been a right pain!
Overall we really enjoyed our stay here, really pleased we picked this flat and the pictures don’t even do justice to how lovely it is!
