Eleanor's place is very well equipped for any length of stay. All your basic amenities are provided including basic seasonings and cooking tools, body wash and hand soap, and a closet of cleaning tools and products.
The only downside to the apartment from our perspective was the cigarette smell. We opened the windows and used the air fresheners to alleviate some smell, but it was still pretty strong when we left. I imagine if you are a smoker, looking for somewhere you can smoke inside, this will not be an issue for you.
Overall, I would recommend this place if you are looking for a place in Edinburgh if you don't mind cigarette smoke or want to smoke inside. If you are sensitive to cigarette smoke, I wouldn't recommend this place.
We traveled with our two small children from Germany. Eleanor provided a baby cot, a bin of toys appropriate for small children, and a high chair for our convenience. It was incredibly helpful. Additionally, our flight arrived quite late but she made sure to make arrangements for us to be met and even suggested some arrival modes helpful for our particular situation.
She noted that there were some concerns/complaints about noise in the alley in the past. While she provided a requested fan to provide some white noise (which we use at home anyway), we didn't experience a great deal of noise. I imagine during a more popular season, it might not be so.
The baby cot fit in the bedroom with room to spare on the opposite side of the bed. The main bed was a queen, fitting my husband, 3-year-old son, and myself (and a couple times, our 1-year-old daughter). The bedroom was also equipped with a make-up desk/mirror and a dresser. There is a double closet with mirrors and hangers. There were two table lamps - until our daughter broke one on the last day of our morning. :(
The living room is home to two sofas (one a pull-out, I think), the TV, a side table, coffee table, a 4-seat table, and a buffet tucked into an alcove. We hosted dinner to a couple which made it a bit crowded only because we also sat the kids at the table.
The kitchen is very well equipped with just about anything you need for basic cooking. There is a combo washer/dryer which was incredibly convenient. There is also a microwave, a George Foreman grill, mini-fridge, oven/stove combo, and all your basic dish ware.
The bathroom has a shower, tub, toilet, sink, and medicine cabinet/mirror. We are a family of four that stayed for a week so we hung our towels on a clothes drying rack in the living room between uses.
