"We couldn’t get in touch with the owner, and hand to contact Hotels.com to be able to get information about the check in. You’re really paying for the location with this place. It’s really close to everything including the old town, the castle and Princes street garden. But the kitchens smells bad, probably the fridge. The rooms smells like mold and I’m allergic… and there was some others hair all over the bathroom. I think what bothered us the most though was that there was absolutely NO HEAT....

"The apartment is situated just outside the city centre down a charming back lane. It was clean, spacious and we were greeted by fresh flowers, coffee and short bread biscuits. We received several informative emails from the staff at Greatbase Apartments that helped make the whole check in and check out process seamless. Great apartment, would recommend. "
