We loved the location of this apartment, perfect walking distance to the beautiful centre of Edinburgh. However, we were really disappointed with some things: the photos must have been taken a couple of years ago when everything was freshly cleaned/painted because the kitchen was pretty dirty, everything was sticky and greasy, there were breadcrumbs and bits of food on top of the washing machine, we had to scrub the table because it had spills and sticky spots all over it. Also, we couldn't shut the shutters in the lounge room because it exposed bare dusty brick walls when you closed the shutters, the dust was bad. The mattrasses need to be upgraded, the springs in some of the mattresses were hurtful. The bathroom was so tiny compared to the pictures. The place lacked powerpoints, it was hard to find enough powerpoints to charge or use our laptops and phones, we had to unplug bedside lights to get to a powerpoint. In the kitchen, the glassware is kept in such an old cupboard on the wall that no matter how carefully you opened the glass doors, it felt as if the whole cupboard would come crashing down. In terms of practicality and safety for kids, I think function should come over looks in some cases. Honestly, this is the first place I felt let down with airbnb.
