the hob you had to light with fire as the ignitor button didn't work. The microwave also didn't get hot. I would say it was uncomfortable to cook in the apartment because of this. overall for the price the whole apartment was a little run down if not cosy.

great location and beautiful building. the beds were extremely comfortable too. there was a nice selection of toiletries too.

It was a bit chilly in bedrooms and quite drafty in the front bedroom. The toilet always needed two flushes, which was a bit inconvenient. The hob was difficult to light as the spark button didn't work and nearly all the lighters were broken. It would probably worth removing the empty lighters as it took us ages to find one in the cupboards that worked!

It was very spacious with very comfy beds and a great kitchen! It was nice to have a hair dryer and soaps/shampoo provided. The bathroom was very spacious and clean, and the shower was easy to use. We enjoyed the lounge area as the sofa bed was comfortable and homely.

The keys were in a lockbox, but there was no indication of which apartment number you needed (it's a residential building with numbers on each door). The instructions provided by the host also didn't include this information. One of the residents had to help us figure out which apartment it was, which was quite strange. The host was reluctant in their responses, and we had to ask repeatedly for each answer. I slept on the sofa bed on the second floor. The sofa was uncomfortable, and the refrigerator made a constant noise at night, making it difficult to sleep. Additionally, be aware that you'll be charged an extra £25 for the sofa bed linen, and you'll have to make the sofa bed yourself.

The apartment is located in a peaceful area with a convenient location. It is close to bus, tram, and train stops, making transportation easy. You can also walk to the city center in about 30 minutes. The apartment is clean, and the kitchen is equipped with all the necessary dishes and a dishwasher.

No curtains in the bedroom so was too bright once the sun came up.,which is ok in winter but not great in the summer

It was warm and comfortable and a great location

Wouldn't be ideal for anyone driving as area predates cars considerably Although the flat itself would have been ok for kids , Edinburgh itself doesn't seem to be too child friendly Edinburgh has a good public transport network, but it's a lot to learn in one go , so we mostly stuck to the trams

Loved the area , more real people than the city centre, every eatery we tried was superb We all got soaked, multiple times, so it was great to have our own space to dry off and regroup, the apartment really helped make our stay work 😁 Looking forward to going back now that we have the lay of the land 🧐

Information on the booking.com link needs updating. There was no toaster or tumble dryer as listed when we booked. Parking is a tricky so suggest pre-planning. Communication from the owner was minimal. They gave no information on local shops, or public transport, and when we reached out with a question it felt like we were bothering the owner. This is simply compared to other similar stays where the owner went above and beyond to make us comfortable.

Apartment is well set up and in a great location. The church is beautiful and information for collecting keys was very simple. Perfect for a weeks stay away from the busy CBD/old town. Public bus only 5 min walk away.

Nice apartment around the corner from the station with tram and bus travel easy access Comfy bed Ideal for 2 people

The mattress on the double bed was extremely hard and therefore very uncomfortable. The single beds were very good though. Also, the lid of the bin in the kitchen did not close so that was quite unhygienic.

The location, cleanliness and communication with Natalie were all perfect!

Nothing to complain about. It's true, there are small repairs to be made, coming from the use of the location by "various tourists", but this can be easily overlooked considering the special location...

Very good location, near the Haymarket railway station, public transport takes you to the tourist area in less than 10 minutes. Very clean, and the owner responded promptly to our requests. The apartment is special, arranged in a former bell tower, it is an unmissable experience :)

Great location for the city & local shops and restaurants

The flat is a bit shaby now, not enough e.g. forks, blunt knifes, broken tiles in bathroom blocking the door, wobbly chairs and some stains on floor and walls.

The flat is spacy, building is attractive, beds and towels great, it was clean, close to railstation and with a lot of eating options around, nice walk to the centre.

There isn’t much to not like about the property, a few areas that could do with a bit of attention, broken tile on the bathroom floor and paint peeling on bathroom ceiling.

Quirky apartment in a perfect location. 5 minute walk to tram and train services. Situated away from busy road so nice and quiet. Lovely and clean apartment. Hosts very friendly and helpful.

The location was exellent for walking into central Edinburgh or taking the nearby tram from Haymarket station.

In one of the 2 bathrooms the hot water in the shower didn’t come out (less than lukewarm dripping), so was not possible to take a shower. When I contacted the owner to have it fixed, because we booked 2 nights, she said she couldn’t do anything and I should use the other bathroom. But I already told her I didn’t want to disturb the couple in the suite bed/bathroom. After Booking contacted them, they answered that that shower worked fine. And that just wasn’t true.

Good location. Good space. Clean.

The most expensive stay we had in our entire 4 week uk trip and they still wanted a 400 dollar security deposit for only two nights where as any other place we stayed max was 50 All self serving didn’t even use the upstairs kitchen or sitting area only bedroom and bathroom so I hope to see my money returned

Not much incredibly average

Loved the style of the property and the comfortable space inside. It was close to transport. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Update (8/15/24): We reached out to Customer Service multiple times at Booking to try and get a refund for our stay. We just learned that the host has refused to offer us a refund, so nothing else can be done, according to Booking Customer Service. We are very disappointed with the handling of this issue. We will use Airbnb for our next travels.

Our host did not respond to our messaging through Booking, so we could not access the apartment. We had to pay for a last minute hotel, in addition to what we had already paid for this property. We are from America and did not have access to calling on our cell phones. All off our other bookings, for this trip, have been through Airbnb and the messaging worked seamlessly.

What we disliked about the property is that there were no ghosts, which was really disappointing as we were expecting to see at least a few.

When I stepped foot into the property, I was beyond impressed. It was very cozy, and had a lot of exposure to sunlight, which made the experience so much more enjoyable. Most importantly, the whole duplex apartment was very clean and the bed was just as comfortable as the ones in Hilton. The apartment is in a great area as there is access to supermarkets such as Lidl, which could be beneficial for any of your urgent shopping needs.

Beautiful apartment convenient to tram, buses, taxis, restaurants. The apartment was very comfortable and had all the conveniences we needed.

The flat had a musky/damp smell. The hot tap in the bathroom sink didn't work, the washing machine was broken which the owner failed to tell us beforehand. When advertised as parking available on site for £10 a day...this is not true. There is street parking for £5 per hour, max stay 4 hours but good luck getting a space!

The location was great, walkable to the centre at a good price

Good location just 2 minutes from haymarket station / pubs / cafes etc and was clean apartment with everything we needed for our stay.
