This apartment could be great, but unfortunately it is really lacking in any care and attention and I cannot recommend that you stay here. We stayed in three places during our time in Edinburgh, all at the same price and our other stays were far far superior, so I suggest you look elsewhere to stay.
The entrance to the building was terrible, the handle fell off every time you tried to close the door, there was no lighting in the corridor and it was just a mess in there. The lack of lighting at night time is dangerous.
The flat itself could be beautiful and it's a real shame such little care has been taken in making it lovely. All the furniture and decor is pretty shabby, and just thrown together with no care. The lampshades are cracked and broken, wires from the TV everywhere, horrible stains on the bottom of the curtains, the windows were filthy, in the bathroom there were areas of the wall that had been filled, but not then sanded and painted over. The whole place needs repainting and a lot of TLC.
A few thing that were positive, the place was clean, the cleaners are doing a good job with what they have. The kitchen was well equipped and to a good enough standard. The location is great, and it has really good potential.
Communication was okay. When we arrived, the wrong keys were in the safe, but that was dealt with really quickly, even though it was late at night, so I appreciate that. But there was some odd communication too - I think as others have said in their reviews there are lots of automated messages which don't always make much sense.
Overall, I'm really disappointed, particularly as this is run by a management company - I can't believe people are willing to charge others to stay in a space that clearly needs a lot of love putting into it.
Don't stay here unless you really have to!
