Our stay is really difficult for me to review.
We instantly ran into problems when we showed up at the correct check-in time to find our key missing. The host was easy to contact and was great at communicating. But we couldn’t get into the place for several hours. We had to drag our suitcases through Old Town and pay to have them stored. Really not ideal. The host was really friendly and apologetic, fixed the issue, and gave us a refund for our stay which was really appreciated.
There were other issues with the flat, though. The carpet felt kind of grimy and there was black mold in the shower. Otherwise, it seemed fairly clean. There were 3 of us staying there but there was no bedding or towels provided for the sofa bed so we had to scrounge around to see what we could find. Also, very very weak wifi.
Perhaps the weirdest issue was the dishwasher. We finally got into the flat around 7:30, and the dishwasher was running. I didn’t think anything of it until around midnight. When I went to check it out, I found that it was completely empty and just running on its own? Who knows!
Otherwise, the location was great. Right off the Royal Mile, it can be noisy but that’s to be expected!
Once settled in, we were comfortable but the check-in and the other issue were kind of a downer for us.
