Great flat, Great location BUT NO ELEVATOR

Flat and location were great but the listing said Elevator and the elevator has apparently not been working for quite some time according to the residents we spoke with. They actually laughed when we asked about the elevator. We had to climb 7 flights of 6-8 stairs each with our large luggage. I hurt my back. I have a video should VRBO be interested. When I asked about the elevator, the owner went silent. Check the comms. However, they had just answered my question about the WIFI minutes before I asked if they were aware of the elevator not working. Then, when I as a respectful guest informed the owner of when we were leaving and how we left the flat, they finally responded and said they had a virus and that's why they hadn't responded. They claimed not to know about the elevator and blamed their handyman. I'm sorry, that is just hard to believe. They got a virus and couldn't respond in the 5 minutes between my 2 questions? To make matters worse, VRBO was IMPOSSIBLE to reach from Scotland. They provide an 800 number which is useless overseas. They need to make it easier to report a listing like this that promises something- like an elevator- and doesn't provide it. Also, the dirty sock in the far corner of the second bedroom validates the cleanliness rating. Other than that, flat was clean.

Beautiful self catering unit

Very cosy, neat and clean. The apartment served all our needs perfectly. Checkin information was not timeously explained and needs better attention. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment is well equipped and ideally located.

Awesome location, property needs a bit of TLC

Location for the Royal Mile, Holyrood House, Christmas Market and Princess stree was very good. We walked everywhere. The property is in a block of flats on the second floor, nothing hears from the other flats. Some maintenance required but not horrendous. Shower average temperature and fan noisy. Bedding clean and fresh. Warm flat. Would we return.... Yes. Large Tesco express seconds away.

Spot on!

As everybody mentions the location really is as good as it gets. The host very kindly allowed us an early check in which was very kind. The apartment was very comfortable and exceeded our expectations. The one downside was the carpet in the en suite bedroom. It wouldn't cost a lot to replace it and it really does need to be replaced! If this was to be done I would stay here again without a doubt.

Holyrood apt

This flat was great- definitely on the historic side but clean! Worked perfectly for my husband, son and I while staying in Edinburgh. We walked to the royal mile and up to the castle from the apartment- beware it’s all uphill but totally worth the walk! There was a tesco right around the corner and lots of cafes for coffee or a pastry in the morning. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location

This property has 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms, but the fan in the master bath is super loud and the lights flicker annoyingly. The other bathroom has a tub, no shower. The beds were just “fine” not great. However the location was great. Very close to the royal mile and Grass Market. Wouldn’t stay here again but it did the trick.

Ok but needs work

Ok but apartment needs a facelift. Bathrooms need new fixtures, better mirrors, taps (not separate hot and cold) etc. A paint job would also spruce up the walls etc. How to manuals would be of great benefit. Has great potential with its locaton. Just needs a bit of work. Suitable for 4. A

Nice apartment nears Arthur’s seat

This apartment was perfect for the three days we spent in Edinburgh. It is near Arthur’s seat so about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the old town. It was quiet and close to some great restaurants (Tolbooth pub) and things to see. It is near an on/off bus stop so if you plan on buying a ticket for that and time it right, you can jump on the bus and get to anywhere on that route easily. I recommend the 2 day on-off bus With the two routes so you can see all of the neighbourhoods around Edinburgh. Having said all that we enjoy walking so did not mind it was not in the centre of everything. Actually that was a plus for us. The building has an elevator so even though it is on a higher level, you don’t have to lug your suitcase up the stairs. The apartment overall was clean, had everything we needed, including two full bathrooms, which is a luxury in Edinburgh. The living room is somewhat basic, but we were never there as we were out exploring the city. The host was responsive and allowed us to check in early which was a real bonus.

Say in Edinburgh

The location of the flat was excellent, really close to everywhere at the Fringe. The flat overall was rather tired and in need of some attention to its overall presentation. The main bathroom had no shower facilites, not even a hand held shower and the door did not close easily. The space around the bed in the second bedroom was very limited so I kept banging my leg on the bedframe. The ensuite in the main bedroom smelt badly of damp.

Not As Advertised

We were very excited about this property when we booked it as it was in the perfect location and we were surprised to find this booking given the proximity to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. However, we could not have been more disappointed. It is clear that the property photos are old (clearly taken when the property had been newly refurbished). There was rubbish left under the sofa and the carpets looked extremely dirty. This could all have been forgiven, had it not been for the obvious issues with damp in the property- there was mould in one of the bedrooms and the smell of damp in the en-suite was awful. The property owner has tried to solve this issue using only moisture absorbers. For the amount we paid for this property, it was very disappointing. Also, be aware that you are not provided with a fob for the garage. Instead a member of your party will have to go through the front door and open the garage from the inside. Would not stay here again.

Great Location but very basic

The location is fantastic. You are just a short walk from all the main sights in the city. There is a small grocery shop next door which is nice to grab some food for the apartment. We didn’t have a car so just walked everywhere and then rented a car from the train station which is also only a 10 minute walk. The apartment is very basic, old and aged but tastes old town for you in general. The apartment could be cleaned better for sure. There is some street noise we heard in the night but we also had the windows open. The key is across the street and could be described better. The only saving thing that helped was that the description said the lockbox was on the far left of the row of 50 lockboxes. One last thing, the communication was lacking with the host. Several times we waited over a week to get a reply, and during the stay we got no reply at all. For a few nights this place is nice, but not for a longer stay.
