Great location but...

The location of this property is terrific, however making allowances for the age of the property, the furnishings and paintwork were a bit tired. The new kitchen was very good. In relation to the cleanliness, there was a lot of black mould in the shower and signs that it had not been cleaned in a while and the shower drained poorly. The bathroom sink also has no hot water. The foldout couch is very short for an average height person and hard. Overall we had a great time here.

Great little apartment in the middle of the city

This place is a no frills, affordable two bedroom apt at the bottom of one of the iconic streets in Edinburgh. It can get loud at night as there are several late night clubs/bars nearby but you quickly get used to the city noises. I would definitely stay here again.
