We stayed at Kirtsy’s place for 4 nights for Hogmanay celebration. Kirsty was friendly, responsive and easy to communicate with, provided advice about where to see New Year’s fireworks, how to celebrate Hogmanay and answered the questions about car park. Check-in and check-out were straightforward through the key-locker box.
The flat is located in approximately 20 minute walk away from Princess gardens near the castle which is quite close. Nearby there are LIDL and Cooperative food supermarkets. There is pay and display parking outside from 08:30 to 17:30 Monday-Friday.
The flat is in old building on the first floor (no elevator). We didn’t have any problems with heating or hot water even though the temperature outside was low during our stay. The common space (living room combined with kitchen) is cosy and has lots of candles which add nice atmosphere. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own food, although the cooker hood and oven need additional cleaning. There was no photo of shower room with this listing so we didn’t expect it to be so small, it is separated from the toilet and the sink and has no space apart from the shower itself. For short stay it shouldn’t be a problem but for longer trip can be a bit uncomfortable. The shower curtain could be changed for a new one as its bottom is very dirty due to long use and wet conditions. We were a bit unlucky and during couple of nights could hear loud music played at neighbour’s - can’t say if this is always the case.
It wasn’t the first time we stayed in Edinburgh so probably that’s why we’ve noticed all of these points. Apart from that the space is nice and good for staying for a short break with easy access to the city Centre and shops, and Kirsty is super friendly and always ready to help!
