Listings like this one is the main reason why i'd never book an airbnb if I wouldn't need a kitchen during my holiday.
- Within 5 minutes of our arrival, we spotted mice stool in the kitchen. As someone who lives in London, I know some people don't think it's a big deal, but for me, it's not debatable. We were given one hand towel for 4 adults and a baby, which had stains on it and there was also used toilet paper in the toilet when we arrived, so not sure what type of cleaners they have.
- The bed in the smaller room was probably the worst bed I've ever slept on. It's quite difficult to a bed worse than this one, even at a cheap student hostel. It makes so much noise even when you move your leg by 1 cm that it woke up our baby multiple times. My height is 1.80 and my feet didn't fit in the bed unless i bent my knees. (And as someone who has knee issues, it wasn't enjoyable at all). You'd also feel the metal bed frame when you're sleeping, so yeah it's a rare find. The other bed was good, but since we were 4 adults, 1 couple had to suffer.
- Location is not bad but not great. It's roughly 15m walk to the New Town and 30m to the Old Town, however, it's at the end of a slope so walking from the listing to the city can be tiring. Uber costs around 7-8£, but in Edinburgh an Uber X only accepts up to 3 people, so if you're a couple you'd have to call an XL which would cost 12-15£. Do that 4 times a day and you end up paying the same amount if you'd book a listing closer to the centre. There is a nice local cafe and pub in less than a min of walk, and a tesco within 3 minutes, which are probably the only good things about the listing.
- The property is a lot smaller than how it looks in the photos. The sofa and chairs in the living room are uncomfortable as well.
- Asking 30£/each for a highchair and a cot is quite absurd. Never ever seen a property that asks so much.
- I believe the only thing we were happy with was the communication thanks to the agents who manage the property, they were always quick to reply even in the middle of the night.
