I've always wanted to stay in a traditional Edinburgh tenement and I loved my stay here. The home was very well equipped - there was even a hairdryer! The kitchen cupboards were stocked with handy basics and everything was clean. The pillows in the bedroom do need to be replaced as they were lumpy. I agree with an earlier review of the furniture being very well worn - a sofa in the living room was very uncomfortable and hurt my back because of how soft and low it had become,
The location was very convenient, with princes st being a 10-15 min walk up the road and Supermarkets close by. Communication with the host could have been a lot better, and where he did not respond to a message, the neighbours were kind enough to answer/help out. It was the only area the host fell short in. He was otherwise lovely during check in and helped by bringing my very heavy suitcase up two flights of stairs.
There was a concerning moment where I came home to discover a bag of towels in a storage cupboard that hadn't been there in the morning, and it was frightening as I hadn't been contacted by anyone to let me know that someone would stop by and enter the property to leave them there.
On the whole however, I don't regret booking this property.
