The common area of the apartment smelled like straight smoke, and the apartment itself smelled like smoke that was covered up by an air freshener. It was so strong that we had to open all of the windows and let it air out all day while we explored the city. The location was really nice, we were close enough to walk to Stockbridge, New Town and Old Town and it was great to have parking. The check-in process was a little confusing but we figured it out. It was the only Airbnb we stayed at out of five in Scotland that didn’t have drinks or snacks upon arrival, but it’s run by a management company instead of a person. The place is overall nice, just be aware of these things.
