Candlemaker Old Town 500m from Edinburgh Castle

No breakfast

All good

The property management staff are top notch! They took excellent care of us. They were very responsive and super helpful. We had a problem with our checkout (we left a few things behind which we needed shipped to us at our next destination). They were really and truly phenomenally helpful. I give them an 11 out of 10 for their amazing help! The property location is amazing. Perfectly positioned for all the things we wanted to do. We would stay there again.

Rental units in Edinburgh are expensive. There is just no way around it. This particular unit is fine. Floors and surfaces were clean and neat and it was well equipped for what we needed. The shower experience was not great but also consistent with many UK properties. Thank goodness they have tankless water heater so at least we didn't run out of hot water when the family all had turns showering. There is street noise as it IS a city so if staying here you should expect that. We did and we got just what we expected.

Great location, close to almost everything. The hosts are very attentive and friendly. We will definitely stay here again if we plan to visit Edinburgh and would recommend to our friends.

Furniture is worn down already. The dressing table stool was wobbly and were scared that if we sat on it the legs would snap. The couch is also worn down and I think time to replace it.

The location

The most annoying booking ever for me (and we travel a lot!) They spammed my mailbox with dozens of payment requests and other emails. Demanded property damage deposit (£200), asked for an extra £84 for any cleaning (we stayed for 4 nights) All this tarnished whatever positive vibes we had from our stay. The damage deposit was finally refunded after a few unpleasant messages (minus AU$11) as I was supposed to wait for it for a week. And after all this had the audacity to ask me to recommend it to friends and family :(
