  We enjoyed Edinburgh very much and the apartment allowed us to do that for a decent price

  Liked: - The location was great. Walking distance from all the main points of interest. - The apartment was quiet and perfect for a couple. - The apartment was satisfactory for people who do not want to spend a lot of time there and take advantage of the great location.

  Disliked: - The Shower was a bit of a struggle with very inconsistent heat. - The place wasn't as clean, with quite a lot of dust, and dirty appliances(see photos). - Curtain railing was starting to come off the wall, and the towels were a bit worn(see photos).

  Enjoyed our host and convenient location

  Liked: Loved the convenience of where we stayed. Enjoyed being on the first floor since we had large luggage pieces that would have been difficult to get up the stairs. Always an easy 10-15 minute walk to everything we wanted to see or to buses to see outside of Edinburgh. We were basically gone all day long until late in the evening so we didn't use the kitchen except to store water in the refrigerator. Stopped by to see the owner and he was very friendly and generous with snacks and bottled water for us.

  Disliked: No real complaints as we weren't there except to sleep. Could have used a portable fan for sleeping since evenings were a little warm.
