Michelle's appartment is huge for the very central location The stairs were quite something but we were warned so that came as no surprise. The decoration is eclectic and quite interesting but this is very personal and accurate as per the photos so I won't take that into account.
On the plus side we noted:
-Absolutely brilliant view of Arthurs seat from the kitchen side and Calton Hill from the living room.
-Large kitchen with everything you could need.
-Central location
-Spacious
On the poorer side;
-The photos make you believe this appartment is in perfect shape which is not quite the case
-Two of the three beds are very narrow, frankly too narrow for two children so we used the sofabed in the largest bedroom
-Kitchen has very deepset cupboards so makes things hard to reach
-One of the kitchen doors fell off as it had not been screwed in
-One of the beds had a loose slatted base
-Broken and loose tiles on the kitchen floor.
-Lack of seating in living room (in the lounge part, dining table was fine). There are only 4 seats available for a 6 person appartment.
-Very grotty and smelly staircase with cigarette butts and full rubbish bags.
