There's a little bit of a hike to get to tourist attractions, but could be much worse. Overall recommend it. ##### Elizabeth M. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Olga A. 7 Sept 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Would not recommend especially if you live in seismically active area or light sleeper Was pretty disappointing experience. The apartment is off main attractions and not that polished - I was thinking was reflected in the price. However, it appeared to be not clean (the bedding was fresh) - dust everywhere, some stuff on the floors, strands of hair on the tab area and on the bathroom floor, someone’s hair pin on the kitchen counter top and bread crumbs. There were scuff marks on the walls (??!!??) Though advertised as “professionally cleaned”. Flying from overseas with limited vacation time - it’s hardly convenient to spent your priceless time on cleaning the place you are renting. Even more picking up someone hairs including pubic hair. Contacted “24 hours service” (non vrbo) to get “sorry” as an answer and that’s it. There is a communal garden according to description but you would not have access to it - need an additional key - that was not provided. If leaving the apartment in the middle of the night - bring flashlight - it’s pitch black in the common area. Now, it’s an old building and every time a truck, bus or some bigger vehicle passes by whole building is shaken (that explains fractured walls everywhere in it). I live in seismically active area - waking up all night long because of the ground shaking is pretty triggering. Triple your sleeping pills if you want some sleep. The little rugs in the bedroom do not have liner to hold them in place so are easily sliding - quite a hazard. The bathroom has really loud annoying fan and No electric sockets ##### Olga A. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristina O. 27 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Goede uitvalsbasis voor bezoek aan Edinburgh Leuk appartement op de 3e verdieping van een nette binnenstadflat.
