    Smaller than expected. The toilet bathtub drained slowly and flush was not strong. Old building overall.

    Washing machine door was locked but the staff rectified immediately on the same day.

    Nightmare stay! No hot water, noisy uncomfortable apartment, rude communication from hosts.

    We had a terrible stay at this apartment in Edinburgh. The flat is so small and basic in terms of facilities, and much more shabby than it looks in the pictures - very small with peeling wallpaper, tiny bathroom, up three flights of a dark spiral staircase which smells terrible. The bed and sofa bed are so uncomfortable and there is no noise insulation at all - the flat is above a busy road and three strip clubs, so we barely got any sleep over the two nights. Worst of all - when we arrived the immersion heater was broken and there was no hot water! We let the hosts know immediately and spent most of our weekend in Edinburgh on the phone to them (messaging was no good - each time they took an hour to reply), taking photos of the boiler, trying different fixes and waking up early to let the handyman in. They really messed us around and wasted our time when we should have been enjoying our holiday, and after all this the hot water was never fixed and we ended up having to have strip washes at the sink using water boiled in the kettle... the hosts have refused to refund any of our money for the two nights because they apparently did 'everything reasonable' to try and fix the issue and it is not their problem that there was no hot water for our entire stay. We only ended up staying there because our original booking was cancelled and it was the only apartment available in the entire city for that weekend - otherwise we'd have left immediately. As a side note - they also claim that the apartment has Netflix, which it definitely doesn't! We wasted another hour while they claimed they were "logging in", which they never managed to do. Overall really awful communication and extremely overpriced apartment. I would recommend finding literally anywhere else in Edinburgh to stay, based on this experience.

    The whole apartment was reasonably clean and smelled alright, although the bathroom had some old stains on the bath and toilet and the kitchen could have done with a more thorough clean. The bedding and towels were basic and a bit threadbare but they were clean. The location is also very convenient for walking to the centre of town although as mentioned below not in the best area in terms of noise and safety.

    Vastly miss represented, stair access was lethal, common areas grotty, interior tiny, uncomfortable beds,

    Location was good, apart from the noise from the strip club downstairs at 2 in the morning.

    This place is tiny, the bedroom is only just bigger than the double bed in it, the living area is also small. The paper is peeling off the living room wall and looks like it's going mouldy in the bedroom. It really needs some looking after. The windows are so old/thin it sounds like the windows open the whole time, this then was an issue at night as the noise was constant until about 2am outside (which I know isn't the owners fault but definitely worth mentioning) The bathroom is ridiculous, the bath is quarter size of a normal one and the shower head they have in there doesn't work unless being held and then can't be held too high as if the pipe kinks it stops working again. The toilet barely flushes too. I wouldnt recommend or stay here again, we only ended up here as our original booking elsewhere was cancelled last minute and this was all that was left.

    The responses to messages were really quick, check in was easy, the bed was comfy, was clean enough I suppose, these are the only positives though.

    Bathroom is a little cramped and made it difficult to shower

    Location was amazing. Everything was comfortable and as described and host was helpful when we needed to get in touch.
