Edinburgh was Fabulous

Our stay on Hatters Lane during our trip to Edinburgh was incredible. We were sufficiently close to get to all areas of London by taxi, Uber, or bus. O'Connors pub, a short walk from the property, had fabulous meals and there were two groceries in walking distance. This property was exactly as advertised and was greatly appreciated.

Great stay! Apartment was stunning 😍. So cosy and homely! Stayed with 3 of my friends - group of 4 girls and we loved it!! Only downfall was the shower in the en suite not heating up would have been more convenient if both showers worked considering there was 4 of us but all in all it was a great stay 😊. Key easy to find and access and cleanliness was fab! Round the corner from a variety of different shops and bars/pubs which was good as well! Thanks again

Really nice apartment! Everything is clean and tidy, however there are some things you should consider if you are traveling with friends: the beds are quite small. The “big” bed is 140x200 and the smaller one is 120x200. This was not clear to us. What really was nice is thay the apartment had 2 bathhrooms. Also, the kitchen is nice and large.

Review of Apartment with Castleview

There was plenty of space in this apartment accommodation for up to four ppl to stay comfortably. It was quiet for the most part as well as being safe and secure. Close enough to walk to St. Andrew Square and other downtown attractions if you are up for it-about a 20-25 minute walk. If not an Uber ride was about 7 pounds during off-peak times. The self-check-in process provided plenty of instructions, but I felt like I was on a treasure hunt. Could also be challenging after dark or for someone who doesn't have the greatest vision to work the combination lock to access the key box. Instructions could have been provided on accessing the wifi, working the electronic shower in the stand-alone bathroom, locking the door from the inside, operating the washing machine/dryer and where to empty garage or recycling. Unfortunately we just left it for the cleaning people, but this wasn't normally something I would do. The property seemed generally clean, but more attention to detail needed when dusting, felt uncomfortable using the utensils after finding a box of condoms in the same drawer. A few extra rolls of toilet paper, some paper towel and facial tissue would have been fantastic as well.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! DON’T BOOK THIS FLAT!!

From the moment we arrived, our time in this flat was awful! First, the keys were not where we were told and I eventually determined it was because the cleaning people weren’t done, so we got into the flat 30 minutes late. As we settled in, my daughter discovered the handle on her closet door was broken. I can’t understand how the cleaning people didn’t notice it. I tried calling the host to report the issue, but after being on hold for 15 minutes, I decided to email instead. It took 3 emails to get a response. The next evening, we returned from dinner and turned on the television. It has no service. We found a Netflix app, but the TV was so old, the screen quality was very poor. On our 3rd night, we were awoken at 3am when the smoke alarm went off and couldn’t be turned off. After considerable effort, I was able to disconnect the device so we could all get back to sleep, but that meant forgoing the protection the device provides. The next day, we did a small load of laundry only to discover that the dryer doesn’t work, so we had to hang our wet clothes around the flat to dry overnight. Every time we had a problem, I tried to call the host by phone and every time, I sat on hold and wound up emailing them. Responses to emails were slow in coming. I’m not sure why they even have a phone. They clearly don’t answer it. In my last email, I suggested a partial refund was in order. I was told they would review my case and I haven’t heard back.
