    Shower water pressure could be stronger (old building?), elevator stopped working on our second to last day (could have been worse - we got all our stuff up!)

    You can’t beat the location! Quick walk to castle, waverley, hop on/off bus stops. Pubs and restaurants galore! Also ELEVATOR for the win. And laundry! And windows that open!

    The bathroom could have been cleaner as there was mouldy sections at the shower/bath tap end - can be sorted with a bit of bleach - and a new shower curtain would help too. My son's mentioned the wifi coverage as it was a bit patchy - one of the modern day necessities. Black out blinds or curtains would also help as the curtains there let too much light through. We also couldn't get the hot water to work, my wife wanted a bath on the final evening and ran it only to find that the water was cold. Suggest including some additional info in the welcome pack about how to heat the water and how the shower works too as the switch on the shower unit works opposite to the way you would expect - to turn it off you needed to move the switch to the bottom position rather than the top as you would expect.

    Location was perfect for what we wanted to do while we were there. The facilities were good with the ability to cook if need be and it was much better having an apartment than having to be in a hotel as it was much more relaxed. Milk was provided in the fridge for us on arrival which was a nice touch. There was enough space for all 4 of us and the sofa bed was a lot comfier than expected.

    TV didn't work, but we didn't come to watch TV so it was no real issue.

    Ultimate location right on the Royal Mile, and right in the center of the action on the Royal Mile. Couldn't pick a better location.

    The stove in the kitchen did not work. Wouldn't turn on, tried everything, even the switch. Requested no stairs, there were many steps, I'm handicapped. Was given the wrong apt. number to begin with, it was a big problem getting into the building and finding the right apt.

    The location was superb.

    The kitchen taps were a little tricky - either off or on full blast, but that is very minor.

    This was a centrally located gem of a find - open the door onto the Royal Mile! Being at the back of the building, it was surprisingly quiet, given the location. The host was friendly and accommodating, and the parking (extra cost) was invaluable. I am already sharing the link to here with friends.
