The interior apartment was clean, plenty of room and closet/storage space, good location, and had all the extra amenities mentioned in the offering. It was convenient to have the tram to and from the airport a short walk away and nice to have a kitchen for our use. I was already aware from previous reviews that there were plumbing issues which we did not consider to be a problem and we thought the water pressure was good. Maureen also gave us a tour of the apartment and accommodated an early check in. We were disappointed as to the condition of the patio. Maureen explained that the patio would be renovated at the end of the summer, but unfortunately it was not in condition to enjoy during our stay. We were surprised that the apartment is actually at basement level. I should have inquired as to the description that it is a “short flight of stairs.” (Actually 12 and 19 stairs down, front and back respectively). For security reasons, this did not allow us to open windows for circulation at night while the weather warmed. Perhaps a security bar would be a solution? We enjoyed Edinburgh very much, a great city.
