Terrible
We did not stay in this apartment because of serious safety concerns.
Shortly after checking in (around 7:30 p.m.), one member of our group took a shower. The boiler then overheated, producing smoke and a strong burning smell, and the fire alarm was triggered. We did not feel it was safe to remain in the apartment and immediately booked alternative accommodation.
We informed the host of what had happened. Instead of addressing the apparent safety issue, we were advised to take another shower and see whether the alarm would sound again. We found this response inappropriate given the circumstances and the potential safety risk.
Because we were unable to stay, I cannot comment on the beds or most of the apartment's amenities. However, during the short time we were there, we also noticed several issues:
• Electrical outlets were loose and not securely attached to the walls, which appeared to be a potential safety hazard.
• The stove did not work when we tried to make tea.
• There was noticeable dust under the beds.
• The boiler appeared to have a very limited hot water capacity, which seemed inadequate for an apartment accommodating four guests.
• The windows were difficult to open due to a complicated mechanism. With smoke in the apartment, ventilation was poor, and we had to open the entrance door instead.
Our group included a child and an elderly person with limited mobility. The combination of smoke, a strong burning smell, and the fire alarm made us feel it was unsafe to spend the night in the apartment.
After we left, the host did not follow up to check on our well-being or address the incident. During our phone conversation, we felt that our safety concerns were not taken seriously. I informed the owner that we left right at the time of our departure.
As a result, we had to find and book alternative accommodation late in the evening and move our entire family. This was a very stressful and upsetting experience.
We are requesting a full refund.

We truly enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend this place.
Fantastic apartment in the perfect location. Just steps away from the Royal Mile, yet quiet and comfortable inside. The flat was spotless, well equipped, and had beautiful views over the city. Check‑in was easy thanks to the detailed instructions, and the hosts were very kind and responsive.

Great flat for seeing the city
The location was perfect. Easy access to the station and all the tourist attractions and local transport. The flat was comfortable and spacious with a nice view out of the lounge window. Great powerful shower and nice toiletries. Lovely welcome tray of Scottish goodies.
Nothing major, however it's worth mentioning that the floor was very creaky and we worried about the people downstairs when we were just walking around. The bed was low to the ground but comfortable once you got in it. Terrestrial TV reception was poor but we were forewarned about that.

Sijainti oli erinomainen. Huoneiston varustelu oli myös mahtava.
Lattia narisi niin kovasti että siihen heräsi. Vaatteiden kuivatus oli haastavaa.
Huoneiston oven avaaminen oli myös vaikeaa.
Makuuhuoneen sängyn patjat kuopalla.

La verdad la ubicación es excelente el apartamento esta muy lindo, en ese sentido todo increíble, la verdad tengo que mencionar a Andrew que no pudo solucionar el problema peeo estuvo a disposición y nos hizo un refund por el inconveniente, se porto 10 puntos en ese sentido.
Se que fue mala suerte seguramente, pero no nos funxiono el agua caliente en toda la estadia, repito el dueño se hizo cargo y me cobro a mitad de precio, pero bueno la estadia con la caldera dañado y en invierno fue dificil, siento que tuve mala surete y el dueño es una persona comprensible y dedicada asi que supongo que lo arreglará pronto.
