Central but rather crap

Windows are thin. Was woken up every night of our stay by passers by at all hours of the night. Beds were uncomfortable. Luggage is stored off site at their office, which is inconvenient. But the worst was when after a day out, my son used the toilet & clogged it. There was no plunger in the apartment, no on site alternate toilet to use and no one on site to deal with the issue for over an hour. It being a Sunday night after 5, no shops nearby were open. So I had to walk to the Christmas market to use their public toilets. When the repair man finally came, he said, “sorry it took so long! We have 275 apartments all over the city. I came as quickly as I could.” It was fixed quickly after that, but it is not his fault that the company that employs him has a crap business model. But pay attention when you book.

Even though the apartment was clean and very nicely laid out, the clothes dryer did not work, and I was left with soaking wet clothes as I was leaving. The management company only said that I must have overloaded the dryer, but this is absolutely not true, as it was only a few items and they were very wet. I used the dryer properly and it does not work, just be warned when you stay there that this is an issue.

Good location and base to explore the city

The apartment was very minimalist and didn’t seem to have the cosy feel depicted in the photos. The place was very clean and tidy but pretty sparse. Apart from the lack of homeliness, what you see is what you get, nothing more. I would have expected, for the price, to maybe have a small milk in the fridge or a little something ‘extra’. Being on the ground floor was also very noisy. We could hear people coming in and out of the building throughout the night and it sounded like they were not only in the apartment but in the bedroom. If you’re looking for a base to just sleep in this is perfect, if you’re looking for more of a home from home, then I don’t feel this is quite that.

We rented the two bedroom apartment and it was very spacious especially considering its location. Never having been in Edinburgh before we were unsure on whether to stay in old or new town and in the end this was the perfect choice. It was located on a quiet street but very walkable to everything. It was also helpful that the property management office is just down the street and we were able to leave our bags there before checking in as our arrival to the city was well before check in. The staff were very helpful and were very quick to respond to any questions. Overall great apartment and would definitely stay there again.
