We stayed here in December and although the location was fantastic and there was tea and coffee and short breads left out there was a few problems which affected our review.
The kettle was hard to use as there was no real place to put it while it was plugged in but
The shower was the main problem really. The water pressure was so low and poor I didn’t dare wash my hair. It was almost impossible to get wet really.
I lifted the shower mat to get a bath and it was very mouldy. The whole shower could have done with a good bleach really. The floor board in our room and above us was so squeaky and loud it was hard to get to sleep. We couldn’t use the tv as the remote just wouldn’t work I’m not sure if the battery’s were about to run out but we just couldn’t get it to work. There was about three flights of concrete stairs to walk up to get to the flat which I don’t think was listed. Which was really hard to get up and down with our cases and defiantly wouldn’t want to walk up if you was unsteady on your feet. In the bathroom there was a massive window with a very sheer curtain up which I’m pretty sure was see through especially if it was dark outside and kinda was on you while you was on the toilet would have defiantly benefited with a blind put up. This room was very reasonably priced at £100 a night and we just wanted a cheap last minute break hence why we booked this room. I’m not sure I would use Airbnb again I think I would rather stay in a travel lodge just due to how poor the shower was really. Glad we was only staying 3 days as my partner with short back and sides struggled to wash his hair so there was no way I would have managed.
Edinburgh on a whole was amazing and I would really recommend the visit. Make sure you have a good pair of walking shoes or boots as you will walk for miles and the old town is very hilly.
