Communication with the rental property was excellent. The only downside of our stay was hauling all of our luggage up three flights of stairs. One of the nights we could hear the bar downstairs. I didn’t bother ask cause we were exhausted from a long day of sightseeing. ##### Dawn L.

We loved this 3rd floor flat. It was impeccably clean, had everything we need for our two night stay. HOWEVER we were 2 couples all late 70’s in age. And the climb to the upper floor was more than difficult. We had to stop into the downstairs pub for a beer after every climb. LOL ##### Andy C.

When the four of us women arrived, we had to go up for flights through dirty and unkempt carpeting. We found the unit to be a size as advertised, but all of the pieces of furniture looked like thrift store leftovers put out to the curb. We had no hot water, and after many many attempts through the Vrbo app and email, both of which refused to. Go through, we turned on data on a phone and manage to eventually reach the owner who is in another country. I have rented VRBO five times previously, mostly from super hosts and this was dingy and we wipe down the furniture before we sat on it. Two of the women left and went to a hotel. ##### Betty V.

Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### silvia b. 31 May 2018 #### Proprietario difficile da contattare e appartamento poco confortevole Ho avuto difficoltà a mettermi in contatto con il proprietario: non ho potuto subito contattarlo sul cellulare (il numero visualizzato sul portale Homeaway era sbagliato) e neanche ha risposto subito alle mail; solo dopo sollecitazione dell'Assistenza tecnica sono finalmente riuscita a comunicare con lui, anche se comunque con grande fatica e dopo un bel po' di tempo. L'appartamento era poco pulito (moquette sporca, capelli nelle lenzuola, pulizia della zona cottura discutibile). Inoltre, pur avendo prenotato l'appartamento per 6 persone, non erano disponibili le lenzuola per il divano letto e solo dopo parecchi tentativi per metterci in contatto con il proprietario e dopo molte ore, alle 10 di sera un suo collaboratore ce ne ha portato un paio. Dormire nel divano letto è stato comunque arduo: il materasso era di una gommapiuma molto sottile e dalle finestre del soggiorno prive di tapparelle è filtrata la luce sin dalle prime ore della giornata. L'appartamento è dotato di sole 4 sedie e quindi 2 persone hanno dovuto sedersi su un tavolino. Inoltre, le fotografie dell'appartamento l'hanno fatto apparire ben più grande di quanto non fosse. La posizione dell'appartamento è invece molto centrale, anche se questo si trova al terzo piano senza ascensore con una rampa di scale abbastanza ripida. Per quanto riguarda le dotazioni, nella cucina vi erano le pentole necessarie (una padella in più però sarebbe stata utile!) ed erano disponibili alcune cibarie, forse lasciate da precedenti clienti (aceto, zucchero, caffè solubile, corn flakes, un pacco di pasta...). Mancava però completamente il bagno schiuma, disponibile invece shampoo e balsamo per i capelli. Per chiudere con una nota a favore, il proprietario, una volta rintracciato (a fatica) ci ha consentito di lasciare i bagagli nell'appartamento qualche ora prima e dopo il check in/out. Io comunque tenendo conto di tutto, non consiglierei questa soluzione ##### silvia b. Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Fred F. 22 Sept 2017 #### Nice, but...there are some issues that can be rectified. 1\. Flat was on the third floor - in European terms, this actually means the 4th floor in American terms. This was only a minor issue. 2. The Ground floor, as understood in European terms, is made up of shops, pubs, restaurants, etc. In this case, one has closing hours of 2 am and the other has closing hours of 3 am, apparently. Needless to say, the patrons continued their partying outside of the respective establishments for approximately 15 - 30 minutes at the respective times. This situation could be rectified by possibly putting in sealed or double-pane windows - would also help the heating/cooling. The ones we installed in our home cut down the outside noise considerably. 3. A minor issue, there is no TV in the flat. 4. The washing machine needs to be cleaned - as we found out at our home, this needs to be done on at least a monthly basis. Use either bleach or the prescribed cleaning tablets designed for front loaders. 5. The room were decent;y sized, as were the bathrooms. This is a real plus. The sofas were comfortable to sit in. 6. This is a minor issue, as it couldn't be heard in the flat - the smoke detector battery needed to be replaced - it was periodically beeping - couldn't be identified as to it's exact location however. As we were on a two-day tour for most of time we rented the flat, it was not a real issue - just slightly annoying. Conclusions: 1. The location of this flat is nice - bus transportation is readily available - just a minute or two away. The Edinburgh railway station is 15 minutes away. The tram to the airport is approximately 10 minutes away as well. 2. There are a couple of good restaurants within a 2 minute walk. There is a grocery store approximately 10 minutes away, walking. 3. The size of the flat is fine. 4. Replacing the windows with a more sound-deadening model would greatly enhance our rating to at least a 4, as would the provision of a TV. 5. There is a real nice park nearby. This is a plus! 6 Edinburgh Castle and environs are a short walk away as well! A nice plus! ##### Fred F.
