* Disclaimer * I always leave a pros and cons type of review no matter how horrible or how amazing the property is. I like seeing these kinds of reviews so I try to be as honest and transparent as possible with mine.
Let me start with the cons....which are extremely hard to find because this property is probably the best property we've ever stayed at!
- the wifi is a little weak. we spoke to the host about it and she suggested it's better in the rear of the property. Which is true. It's best in the kitchen. I would say though that if you aren't in the kitchen it's unfortunately un-usable.
- it's on a busy street so their is some street noise...but very minimal actually because of it being a stone building. honestly I'm very sensitive to noise and it didn't bother me at all. And the bedroom is in the back so at night you don't anything at all. It's extremely quiet.
Pros:
- Like I said in the earlier in the review...this is one of the nicest properties we've been too. And we've traveled to over 8 different counties so that's saying a lot.
- The amenities we're great. Anything you need in the kitchen is there and even things you don't think of like wine openers, french press, wine glasses, cooking utensils and more.
-The bedrooms have plenty of pillows and blankets. The bed was big and very comfortable and this is coming from my wife who is very sensitive to a bad bed.
- The location is outrageous...just around the corner from the tram stop. Just a short walk to royal mile and many other things. Good restaurants around, Tesco down the street. It's in the heart of the city
- Maureen was an absolute dream host. We were having trouble with the washer and she offered to do our laundry for us! Wow. Not only that but every-time I asked her a question she promptly answer and was extremely helpful. Not to mention she's a quite lovely lady. Just everything you want in a host.
- The check-in is very easy. Some places you have to coordinate times to meet (which can be hard because you are most likely traveling and are dealing with things out of your control. But her instructions to get into the property were precise which made it simple to get in and check out.
All in all we'll be back to Edinburgh and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else.
