Edinburgh is a wonderful city and Rebecca's flat is in an ideal location - close enough to walk into the city centre, but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. Hip, quirky Broughton St is just ten minutes away, as is a large and well-stocked Tesco. The city centre is about 25 mins away on foot, but it's a nice walk and there are also bus stops nearby.
I enjoy vintage elements, but personally, I found the decor a little too themed for my tastes. This isn't Rebecca's fault; she has created a very cohesive design space. I simply failed to realise that a "vintage apartment" meant entirely antique/old furnishings! There was a slightly musty smell in some places (the building is old) and the furnitute was relatively comfortable but a bit old and sagging. The space is true to the photos, if a little more tired in reality. The bed was comfortable, but the metal frame squeaks quite a lot! I also think a wardrobe or drawers in the bedroom would have been good - apart from a screened clothes rail in the hallway, there is nowhere to put belongings. It gets cold at night in these old buildings, so bring warm pyjamas.
The kitchen was fine with some dishes and cutlery provided, as well as a fridge, toaster, kettle and oven (no microwave though). There's also a washing machine, but I didn't need to use this. Tea, coffee, and sugar are provided, as is washing-up liquid and sponge. The cupboards could do with a little spring-clean, but the standard of cleanliness was otherwise good throughout the space.
The highlights for me were the private walled garden and the sunlight streaming in the sitting room window. Wifi was good and speedy. Bathroom fittings are quite new and I enjoyed a lovely bath, but the water pressure in the shower is very poor (often a problem in these old buildings, so this is an observation rather than a criticism).
Overall, I think this is a pleasant space in which to stay, situated in a nice area and reasonably priced. I didn't love it as much as I had hoped, but that's more down to personal taste than anything objectively wrong with the flat.
I didn't meet Rebecca, but she always responded quickly to my queries and provided clear and simple instructions on accessing the keys via the lockbox. She also provided a helpful folder of instructions on how to use everything in the flat, as well as lists of places to eat and visit in the locality.
