Pros:
- very big apartment
- great views and excellent location
- very comfortable main bed
- nicely decorated
- renovated stylish kitchen and bathroom
- there is tea, coffee, small toiletries, comfortable amount of toilet paper
- there is TV with netflix and 2 big mirrors (one in the bathroom and one in the corridor) - in case anybody wonders as these are not visible on pictures provided
Cons:
- luck of proper cleanliness, while cleaning fees are very high
- communication with the host based on quick answers promising help ASAP, but then never comes any follow up
- living room is very dark in the evening, as main light in the living room is very dark, one floor lamp not working - I used two bed table lamps from the smaller bedroom
- dishwasher provided but I couldn't find any capsules for it, not dishsoap by the sink
- locks in the main door and the door downstairs are not smooth, the key stucks every time and I had to fight it for a few minutes every time before it opened.
I review the place bad afterall, as I felt ignored and not taken seriously by the host. The place was not clean when I checked in (dirty bathroom rug full of black long hair, floors with hairs and crumbs, carpet and couches in the living room full of hair/crumbs - generally filthy) and the place was very cold. I requested another cleaning and help with turning on the heating or providing a small electric radiator. The host promised to "check with the cleaners" and talk to me ASAP, but never got back to me until I contacted her again after few hours. The cleaners came but only took the dirty bathroom rug, leaving the rest as it was. They didn't bring any radiator either and the apartment was very cold. I contacted the host again, but she didn't answer this time. I finally managed to turn the heating on asking an Edinburgh tour guide I met earlier to guide me through it.
The host answered the next day again, that "she will check with the cleaners and get back to me", but she never did. She never answered my refund request, she left me by myself with cold apartment not providing any help with solving this crucial problem. This is a very bad management of the property and I felt like I'm completely not important as a guest.
