This flat has many positive features. The location is great with easy access to Edinburgh. The flat is light & bright, clean, spacious, (except for the shower room,) has a nice kitchen, a comfortable settee and very comfortable bed, with good quality bed linen and nice towels. The provision of breakfast cereals is a nice welcoming gesture.
However, we feel that a few ‘tweaks’ are necessary to make the experience for guests just that bit better. The addition of some smaller items of furniture such as an occasional table in the livingroom, and a small chest of drawers or table in the bedroom to provide a surface for personal items (phones, jewellery makeup etc.,) would make a big difference. Also we think that a TV set is a standard expectation in all rented accommodation. The lovely natural wood floor also deserves some attention to be at its best.
The shower room is small but with a little thought the layout could be designed more efficiently. Its main failing is the out-dated shower, which falls below expected standards for today’s paying guests. Replacing it with a more modern and efficient one would be a wise investment.
We left some feedback about these things for Ellie and Scott, and were very happy and encouraged by their prompt, positive and good natured response. Knowing they are implementing these improvements will make it easier to recommend this flat to other visitors.
