At the time of my stay this property was managed by ALTIDO Scotland.
Responses are quick despite time zone differences, so that was nice. If you ask a ton of questions, sometimes they have to check and may not always get back to you (since the conversation may be handed off to another person). So you just have to follow up. This is not an issue but something to keep in mind, that you may need to follow up.
The property is as described. It's a cozy home located in a convenient place. Some things worth reiterating and clarifying.
- Stairs are spiral. If you have a large heavy suitcase, I wouldn't advise it. I had a medium size/weight luggage; a bit tricky but I managed.
-It can be noisy on weekends with it being a convenient location, you get more foot traffic, so sometimes, you get bar goers, etc.
-The closest tram stop is St Andrew Square and not York Place; FYI.
-The main door opens up to a street, and the trash/dumpsters are right there. It didn't smell or anything, but if it's a concern for you, then FYI.
-If it's a busy travel time(i.e. it's occupied before your arrival), early check in is not likely. Plan accordingly.
I don't typically cook when I travel but I had companions with me who did. The kitchen was equipped with items necessary for this task but no consumables; oil, paper towels, dish soap etc. I asked for soap but they clarified it was not something provided due to skin sensitivities. Coffee and sugar are not provided but amenities are there.
I have tried to provide an objective feedback, as I understand different people have different needs. I would have loved this place, but a few things detracted from my enjoyment. When we arrived, the unit smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. They were quick to respond to this, and provided fresheners two days after, but my clothes and things already smelled like cigarettes. Oh well. I'm a bit spoiled by traditional Airbnb's where hosts provide the needs common place to a home. Having to buy coffee, paper towels or dish soap for a 4-5 day trip, seems a bit silly to me. There was also ONE trashcan in the entire apartment. Anyway, those are my personal opinions, but as a whole, they are responsive, location is good, and the unit is a quaint place. Enjoy!
