The location was most definitely not close to the railway station. And if you want to see the old town, it’s not very easily accessible. It does take about 20 minutes to walk to, and to be fair, in London 20 minutes would be nothing but in a city like Edinburgh it’s too much. In usual conditions, I may not have been this uncomfortable with a location but the Main Street and some around were completely blocked off to both traffic and pedestrians while I was there which I was not informed about so I was not happy.
The main door downstairs was open and it was pitch dark looking in. This scared me. We also had a lot of luggage and we’re not aware about how difficult it would be to get those up the stairs, so at the end, we cancelled the booking when we were outside the door though I’m sure it’s as pretty inside as the images here show.
I also noticed later that the spaces including the bathroom was shared. This was probably my fault to not have noticed earlier, but in the description, it did say that a kitchen and the bathrooms were included, which is what I thought. So I was generally unhappy with the listing, though the price point is great. I should have expected much lesser for the price.
