The host was not there when we arrived but I spoke to her on the phone beforehand and I know Edinburgh so this was not required. Appartment clean and tidy. The flat is part of a row of 60s/70s? housing and the exterior needs repainting but this is probably something that is not the owner's responsibility. Inside is pleasantly decorated and warm and cosy. Well equipped apart from no dishwasher.A couple of items need repairing: bathroom door catching on floor; gate leg on dining table.
