Check in at observatory house was welcoming and very professional and friendly. Made for a good start to the stay. The lay out of the place was great, decor was simple, sophisticated and beautiful. Place was spotlessly clean. I couldn't have cleaned it better myself.
On our first night stay we realised the second bedroom didn't have black out blinds which was a surprise as it listed on Airbnb under amenities that black out blinds were present in the bedrooms. We mentioned to our hosts and they remedied this within hours by providing us a solution that worked well for us for the second night.
Beds were also super comfy. Firm enough for hubby who loves super firm beds and not too firm for me. It is rare to find beds that both hubby and I find comfortable and by some miracle the beds here found the magic spot!
The host clearly works hard and care very much for their guests. Super responsive and accommodating during our stay at the observatory house. This, the check in experience and the cleanliness, plus the unique experience of staying at such a historic building warrants a 5 star ⭐ inspite of the slight inaccuracy in the listing.
Views from calton hill were amazing and it was nice to walk up and down the hill. Only pointer would be if you have a pram, when you use maps on goo gle or gps etc to find your way there and back, tell the app that you are cycling so it take you via the route with no stairs. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
