We stayed at this flat at the beginning of July for 1 week, and there were 7 of us staying. Its location is great for walking to the New Town and Old Town centres of Edinburgh, and there are stops for lots of bus lines nearby.

The flat is exactly as the photos show. The layout of the flat (2 floors) is great and works well for 4 couples. Be prepared to walk up 3 flights of stairs as there is no lift.

The downstairs floor has 4 bedrooms and a bathroom (bath with shower head, sink, toilet), and the ceilings are high, which makes everything feel very spacious. There are 2 large bedrooms and 2 medium sized bedrooms, one of them has a raised (platform) bed with a ladder. The beds are all approximately UK "double" size (135x190cm), which we found a bit small. There's a washing machine in a cupboard in one of the bedrooms, with a drying rack on the ceiling of the same room.

The blinds in the master bedroom were thin and hardly blocked out any of the morning daylight, so by 4am it was very bright which woke us up. The other road-facing rooms had slightly better blinds, and the rear-facing one had proper curtains. The 3 road-facing rooms had single glazing, so you can hear any noise from the street. While it's not a busy street it does get some car and foot traffic as you'd expect in a city. During our stay, Friday and Saturday nights were especially noisy.

Upstairs is an open plan kitchen, dining and living room and a bathroom (shower, sink, toilet). The upper floor is bright and warm due to the large skylights. The dining table is large and easily accommodated the 7 of us. The lounge/TV area comfortably seated 5 of us. The kitchen has an oven, gas hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge (no freezer), and a decent set of cooking utensils.

Once a week (not a fixed time or day), someone comes to clean the staircase, for which they access the flat with their own key.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience, and the flat suited our needs well.
