Northcumberland was one of the few places I could find to accommodate our large group in an excellent location and at a reasonable price point. The space fit our needs perfectly in terms of bedrooms, number of beds, bathrooms, and common areas. The flat couldn't have been better situated - private and quiet along the secluded Mews, yet walking distance from main attractions in New Town, Old Town, and one of our favorite neighborhoods, Stockbridge.
However, the recent reviews are correct; the flat has undergone significant wear and tear since the listing photos were taken and needs more than just a standard cleaning after each stay - rather, more involved maintenance and deep cleaning. I was willing to overlook minor issues mentioned in the reviews, especially given the price point, aside from the mold/mildew in the ensuite bathroom. I specifically inquired about this issue prior to our stay and was assured it was resolved. Unfortunately, this was not the case, hence my mixed review.
