Accessibility
This property is on 2nd floor. It is accessible only by stairs.
My husband and I arrived to a previously kicked in front door. There was a hole in the door from someone's foot. There was frame damage on the inside of the door as well. There was black mold in and on the floor in front of the shower, paint peeling everywhere in the toilet room. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, there were oily hand prints on the wall above the bed. The pictures do not represent what we walked into. There were no framed instructions for the house or Wi-Fi (which didn't work anyway). I immediately started looking for alternate accommodations. We had to stay one night because there were no other options. I didn't sleep at all because I didn't feel safe. There were small doors near the ceiling that were open and not reachable to close. It was not what was advertised in the pictures.
The property is in an excellent location right on the Royal Mile and within walking distance of everything. However, it is not easy to get to, especially for older adults. You must walk down a narrow passageway that appears a little unsafe to foreign travelers. It is not well-lighted. When you get to the end of the passageway (close) you must go up two flights of stairs with your luggage (36 steps). Then you come to the door of the building and must travel up two more flights of stairs to get to the door of the apartment. We managed it and it was only a challenge on arrival, but it was not clear in the in striations. The place is an old refurbished building but it was good for what we wanted. We did not do anything there but sleep.
This property could best be describes as “quirky”. Entry is down an alley then up 4 flights of rather steep stairs. It is situated right on the Royal Mile, a major party venue so tended to be a little noisy at times The rooms were more spacious than they appear in the posting and were comfortable,,clean and well maintained. Two easily fixable criticisms - freezer needs a good defrosting and some replacement ice trays and the TV, while offering several Premium sites, did not provide access to local stations - a problem that drove us to Beluchi’s to watch the Open
Situated halfway between the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Edinburgh Castle the location is practical and convenient. We traveled by train and the location is just a few minutes walk from the station. The apartment allows visitors to choose from a large variety of eating establishments, pubs coffee shops and shopping just beyond the apartment entrance.
