There was nothing that would match the description on the web side. Wrong address, wrong telephone number so we could not contact the reception, It took us two hours to find the place. Not very friendly stuff made us feel even more unhappy, it even felt as they did not expect us and that was just a beginning! We got freezing cold room and were given gas heaters (after few minutes room fool of smelly gas) we were told to turn it off during the night! Bathroom was still getting fixed. No kitchen to cook our meal witch was the main reason why we chose to stay in this "apartmant". There was really nothing just the freezing cold room. Im still amazed that we stay there even for one night.We had complained the very next morning and were given the email address to the founder. It has been almost two months since then and nothing has been sorted just a promising emails. Very very disappointing.

STRESSFUL stay in Edinburgh!

The check-in location was changed [...]. An extra taxi ride was required. The accommodation we had booked and paid for well in advance was not available and we were placed in a less desirable apartment in a distant location. After complaining, we were told that the booked apartment would be available at 1 PM the next day and that our luggage would be moved by the rental company. Upon arriving the room was not ready and our luggage didn't show up for another 1 1/2 hours. In addition the breakfast site for the included breakfast opened at 11 AM and was about half-way down the Royal Mile from the apartment. Obviously we did not use the breakfast coupons. The time wasted over two days meant that we were unable to visit sites that we had planned during our stay in Edinburgh. [...]

Ubicación excelente, aunque hay

Ubicación excelente, aunque hay que desplazarse a la llegada para recoger la llave. Aun así, la molestia es mínima si no se va muy cargado. En el apartamento, limpieza, confort, comodidades y tranquilidad absoluta. Precio elevado considerando que no incluye ningún servicio, aunque es de los más económicos, incluso comparándolo con hostales de categoría muy inferior. Muy recomendable.

El apartamento está muy bien situado,

El apartamento está muy bien situado, sin embargo no estaba todo lo bien equipado que debería. La entrega de llaves no se hizo según lo acordado.
