A Comfortable and Convenient Apartment
The apartment was clean, quiet, and comfortable. It was conveniently located near the Royal Mile, although after dark, the neighborhood didn’t look to be the best for walking around. Still, I was in for the evening each night, so that wasn’t an issue. Overall, a good deal, and I enjoyed my stay there and in Edinburgh.

Well-located comfy flat
This first-floor flat is situated on a street corner, opposite a somewhat grungy pub. The location is quite good, being just beyond the built-up CBD, with several bus stops for different bus routes close by. Holyrood Palace and the parliament are a 15-minute walk, or 5 mins by bus. The flat has 2 modest bedrooms either side of a central lounge / separate kitchen zone. The beds were extremely comfortable. The modern kitchen was near-new, and separated from the loungeroom. A few annoyances included: the (winter) doonas were far too hot, even with the heating off; wi-fi reception in the furthest bedroom was poor; the dining and coffee tables have been lacquered with some sticky coating that makes any paper stick to it like glue; there's a dishwasher with (barely enough) powder tablets, but no dishwashing liquid or scourer pad to clean items that you may not want or be able to leave until the next dishwasher load. This point was seemingly lost on the host, who cited 'hygiene concerns' as the reason there was none provided. The heating (in summer!) was fine, once you figure out how to use it. The bathroom was OK, but everything is crammed into a tiny space. Wide guests won't be able to use the toilet as the access is too narrow. There's no toilet paper holder - you need to leave it sitting on the floor or up on the cistern. The loungeroom windows are not openable, and the temperature became uncomfortable, with only a small amount of ventilation available from the bedroom windows.

Clean & tidy
Just a bus ride to the city centre. Perfect location if you want to catch a football game at Hibs stadium. Clean and tidy. The bathroom was small but expected. Does need a small bin in the bathroom though.

Lovely apartment
We Stayed 4 nights in this cute apartment. It wbas nice to have the two bedrooms to spread out. There are a couple of grocery stores right down the street from the apartment. It was nice to have the washing machine to use to and the fully equipped kitchen. The check in process to get the apartment keys was easy and simple. Barry, the property owner was response to messages sent.

Look elsewhere
Poor overall. Dated apartment. Poorly cleaned. Mattresses and pillows are probably decades old and worn out. Carpets are old/ragged. Not well stocked. Bathroom is extremely small. Noisy. Borderline threatening tone of the owner in all communication about keeping security deposit.

Mouse infested, No support from owner or VRBO
Unable to check in on time after long journey (3 adults, 1 baby 1 toddler) Apparently previous visitors left it a mess and cleaning was delayed. Once checked in it seemed ok until a mouse ran across the floor and into furniture. Then a second sighting. Owner was advised of situation and offered no concessions. Since the owner was not willing to deal with the issue I had to find a shop and buy £10 of mouse traps. The owner quit responding to text messages when I asked for a refund as we would be checking out in a.m. (had booked 4 nights, requested 3 nights refund) Lodged complaint with VRBO which was 3 hours of wasted time, having to tell story to three different reps. and sit on hold for most of the time. Once home I called VRBO with case number and they asked a few questions then put me on hold until the line went dead 25 minutes later. This happened twice so on third call I explained my disappointment in being treated that way and gave a 10 minute time line to get back to me. When my ten minute timer sounded I heard a click and then elevator music started playing. It was as if they were muting the phone and listening in. This was the worst customer service I have experienced ever! VRBO/Homeaway will never get another penny from me. I will ensure my story travels far and wide.

Great for 2-4 people who aren't planning on spending much time in the flat
This flat is in a great location and Barry, the owner, is extremely responsive to any questions and queries you may have during your stay which is great. The interior of the flat was modern and was decorated nicely and there are plenty of supermarkets and shops in the area. As a number of people have said in their reviews, the communal hallway outside of the flat is really dark and uninviting. It would be great for 2-4 people who aren't planning on spending much time in the flat. The Cons would be: - The kitchen was under stocked in terms of no paper kitchen towels and no washing up liquid etc. and is on the small size if you were planning on cooking frequently during your stay. - I also don't believe 6 people could comfortably stay here. We were a family of 4 and found it was just about ok for us. - The bathroom is really on the small side and felt cramped
