This is the worst AirbBnB apartment and hosts we have ever experienced! My wife and I have lived in several different AirbBnbs in several different countries and have always had a great experience until we had the misfortune of staying at this place in Edinburgh for a whole week. I have never written a bad review of any AirBnb but I feel it is necessary for me to do this so that anybody considering this place is aware of the major safety and maintenance issues, which honestly are so serious that it shouldn't be allowed to be an AirBnb at all! First of all, on our very first day within hours of our arrival, the downstairs neighbor shoved a passive aggressive threatening letter under our door stating that the hosts have not fixed the insulation in the apartment, as a result of which the neighbors downstairs hear all of our footsteps in the lounge, kitchen, and bedroom areas. If you read older reviews you will see that the hosts have been aware that these issues because the downstairs neighbors have threatened other guests but the hosts have taken absolutely no steps to protect their future guests from it! In fact, the letter itself says the neighbors downstairs have made it a habit to serve every single AirBnB guest of this host with the letter, so that the hosts will do something about it! However, I still haven't got to the most terrifying part of it. At around 9 PM on our first day, when I was walking to the kitchen to get a glass of water the neighbor downstairs started shouting at us through the floors to stop walking and hurling insults!!! As a consequence, we have to tiptoe through the whole apartment through the most of our stay. To tell you the truth, we felt so unsafe that we were ready to call 999 during our stay if the yelling neighbor ever decided to knock on our door. It was THAT bad!!!
Now more about the atrocious condition the apartment is in itself. On our very first day, we noticed that the shower drain was so blocked that it took it 15 minutes after our shower had ended to drain. So during the whole time we shower we are standing in the disgusting soapy shower water! Also, because of this blockage when you run the wash basin tap do anything like wash your hands you can actually see the wash basin water also bubbling up through the bath tub drain because they are connected. Ugh and absolutely disgusting! We told the hosts about it on the first day (even sent them photos!) and they said that they would take of it. It would have taken a plumber perhaps 10 minutes to snake through the drain and fix it. But during our entire week there, the hosts made absolutely no effort to fix it. This is just one example of the disgusting state this apartment is in!
