Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Najette A. 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Cool location and property but with some disappointment I was travelling with my husband, son (4) and mother in law. The location was great but probably better suited to younger travellers or those that sleep well as it can be very noisy at night time. The apartment was spacious and easily accessed with a wide stair case and located on the first floor. There were a series of issues or disappointments though: 1. Check in location - the check in process notes via the link gave the incorrect location for key pick up so we went to the wrong hostel 2. Street parking - although saying there is street parking, there isn’t. Well not on the street the apartment is on. Recommend rebooking a parking spot in a complex nearby. 3. Lamps all had euro plugs and required an adaptor to be able to use them. No adaptors were provided. 4. No plug provided so were unable to use the bath for my son. 5. General cleanliness of the apartment was disappointing - floor was dirty and socks were black in no time 6. Repairs needed - the fan in the bathroom was broken (and dirty), BT Tv doesn’t work 7. Ill-equipped - one wine glass, no dish towels, no spare towels provided 8. Checkout process - different instructions given via email to that provided via the link Joivy gave us which caused great confusion It’s a nice apartment but for all the issues, it’s overpriced and on reflection, not suited for us. I wouldn’t recommend it to people who are travelling without a vehicle given the complex check in and check out process and different locations. ##### Najette A. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincenzo B. 23 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Eccellente: struttura e posizione top! Posizione strategica al centro di Edimburgo. La casa affaccia proprio su Victoria Street, una delle vie più caratteristiche della città e per noi fan di Harry Potter è stato come vivere nell'universo di J. K. Rowling.La casa è fantastica con due stanze e un soggiorno con divano letto, ha tutto per essere la casa ideale per alloggiare ad Edimburgo. Consigliata per chi vuole viversi la città a piedi e avere tutto alla portata: Royal Mile, Assembly Hall, Castello di Edimburgo, Cattedrale di St. Giles etc. ##### Vincenzo B.

The beds are very comfortable. The apartment is clean. We would come back. ##### Mira K.
