Caroline’s apartment is in the most amazing location for visiting the sights of Edinburgh. Previous reviews have mentioned noise, however we didn’t find it TOO noisy, that being said the apartment is below what I think is an Indian restaurant who share the same entrance way for their entrance to the kitchen. This meant that between 10.30 and 11pm the kitchen staff were removing waste/bottles which was quite noisy. This also meant that there was a slight smell at times in the apartment.
The apartment itself was basic but very clean. It would definitely benefit from some slight updates, beds etc. although comfy there were just basic old fashioned bed bases with no headboards. The exposed brickwork throughout was phenomenal though and definitely made it quirky.
The two bathrooms was handy although we struggled to get hot water from the shower in the shower room, the ceiling of the main bathroom was also peeling away slightly.
The parking at NCP about 5 minutes walk away was £25 for a 24 hour period which was to be expected in a city and this is for information purposes not a reflection of the apartment itself, we were able to park outside for a few minutes in order to unload the car.
We stayed as a family of 6 (5 adults, one baby) and there was ample room. For the amount of time we spent in the apartment (sleeping and showering) it was more than enough for our needs and the price was incredibly fair for what we wanted during Xmas market times. I would recommend this place, but it would definitely benefit from some TLC.
Thank you for your hospitality, Caroline :).
