Vieles super, aber nicht alles…

Die Wohnung ist mitten im touristischen Hotspot von Edinburgh. Man kann fast alles zu Fuß erreichen, allerdings sind rundherum natürlich nur Geschäfte (Restaurants, Läden, Kneipen etc.), die entsprechend teuer sind und fast ausschließlich von Touristen genutzt werden. Wenn einem das bewusst ist, ist man gut aufgehoben.Die Wohnung ist sauber, es gibt keinen Renovierungsstau, die Einrichtung ist in Ordnung. Nun zu den kleinen Problemen: das Internet funktionierte über den kompletten Aufenthalt (eine Woche) nicht, da dies wohl am Provider lag (dann gibt es auch keine Erstattung)! Ein Toilettensitz war defekt und wurde ebenfalls nicht repariert.Letztendlich waren wir trotzdem sehr zufrieden.

Great location

We loved being centrally located in Old Town in a quiet refuge where we could rest and refuel in between adventures. The shared spaces were pleasant and the bedrooms were nice and dark for good sleeping. … The wifi was somewhat intermittent, so we needed to leave plenty of time for downloading tickets, research, etc.
