Warning for female solo travelers:
This is likely nothing the owners can help but I do feel like it should be shared: bc of the location (being beside a Tesco) there were pan-handlers (seemingly intoxicated most of the time) outside every day, all day, right in front of the door to get in the flat. The last night of my stay I was coming in for the evening, one of them (a male) came up behind me just as I was opening the first entry door and pushed his way into the building before I could get the door shut … he was inebriated so thankfully I was able to get around him and run back out, going into the Tesco immediately and then waited a while for him to come back out the door and leave the area completely before I attempted to get back back in the building. It was scary for sure.
The overall position of the place within the city is quite good. Easy to get to everything as long as you don’t mind putting in a few steps! Also on the path to Leith which is a thing worth doing on a nice day. Unfortunately the specific position of the place being beside a Tesco makes it less desirable as it’s no fun to be harassed every time you come in or out the door and then even worse to be physically threatened. Again, not the owner’s fault but hopefully there is some action that could be taken.
The place itself is small but has everything you need, and the space is well thought out for optimization. Bed is nice and comfy, as are the pillows. Bathroom is nicely equipped and efficient. The kitchenette area is very limited but you can manage to cook some small things!
Overall the space is small but good, unfortunately bc of the incident I had I would not rebook.
