Very comfortable and warm. Great location, close to trams, trains.

Very spacious, ground floor no stairs.

Lack of kitchen items for cooking, cooktop lighter not working, no chopping board, exhaust fan in bathroom not working.

Clean, neat with good location.

Neat and clean rooms and spaces. Great location in relation to the centre of town.

The oven racks were lopsided because there was no proper support. So whatever we put in the oven was slanting downwards. No lighter for the gas hob so couldn't use it. Only one bin liner. No instructions for the use of the dishwasher so couldn't use it.

1.0 / 10.0

Subpar bedding, heating, plumbing and general lack of hospitality.

The location and size of the apartment, and the big sprawling kitchen.

I am writing this review on behalf of my elderly parents, who were visiting Scotland for the first time. What should have been a memorable part of their journey turned into a disheartening and stressful experience due to the unacceptable state of the property and the dismissive attitude of the host. On arrival, they discovered that one side of the bed was completely unusable. The mattress had caved in, with the damage concealed under a duvet. As they had arrived late at night, they did their best to manage, only to wake up in pain. When they raised this with the host the following morning, they were met not with apology or empathy, but with arrogance and blame. The host insisted it must have been caused by them and even threatened to charge them, after a long phone call. Left with no option but to agree to an inspection, they waited for someone to assess the bed. Only after the inspection confirmed the damage was not caused by them did the host finally accept the issue and agree not to charge them for the repair. To make matters worse, despite repeated requests for the heating to be turned on remotely — and assurances that it would be — this was never done during their entire stay, leaving them very uncomfortable, especially at night when temperatures were much colder. The following day, the shower valve in the bathroom failed to close, leaving them once again unable to use basic facilities. A plumber was eventually sent, who confirmed the problem was due to an internally rusted valve. While the property itself was spacious, the entire stay was overshadowed by poor maintenance and, most importantly, a host who treated guests without the slightest respect or kindness. For the premium price paid, this experience was nothing short of appalling. I cannot in good conscience recommend this property to anyone, particularly to guests or travellers expecting warmth, professionalism, and basic hospitality.

Anbindung an den Nahverkehr

Unfriendly and arrogant staff, no trace of service. For the prepaid bed the bed sheet was missing. Instead of delivering it, the additional costs due were first pointed out, although these were already paid. It was only deposited in the apartment the next day. This is bad service. Overall very worn out, the exhaust fan does not work in the bathroom, but it runs permanently in the living and dining area. In the bathroom you are constantly in the fog. Not clean, dust everywhere, floor tiles in the kitchen defective and loose, joints broken out-risk of injury due to sharp edges! The price is way too high for the mediocre equipment.

We were very happy with the place!

It was hard work to unlock the door- it would have been easier if there was an instruction included to unlock the doors.

Expensive and theapartment is old and worn. Needs updated.

Easy to collect.

Lock old and needs replaced. Had to wiggle & negotiate key to work. Wouldn’t have liked to do that in the dark.

Good position half way between Murrayfield and the Centre of Edinburgh. Will stay again.

Although the apartment was very clean the corridors were grubby and a little smelly. Once inside all was good.

A Perfect Quiet Roomy Spot to rest andcthen walk anywhere you want to in Edinburgh.

The location was perfect, walking distance fine to everything. It was nice and quiet and peaceful. The heat worked great, we had quite the roller coaster of weather during our stay. Easy to walk to eating of all types. All appliances worked and it was spic and span clean. Shower had GREAT pressure and hot water. Easy to get in bldg and unit.

I had quite the time trying to figure out the washer/dryer in one machine. Some instruction or operator manual would be helpful. The carpet on the stairs is tired and stained. Maybe just tear off carpet and use lvp flooring. Lvp is very economical and is indestructible. You can also be sure you select a non slippery style.

5.0 / 10.0

Somewhat dissapointing.

Exterior of the facility looked appealing and bathrooms were clean and functional.

Furnishings were quite cheap and there were no decorations on walls; rather bland. The interior design did not match the exterior in terms of our excitement in staying at an old converted church. Couch and chairs were uncomfortable and windows had cracks in the glass. Front door key required around 5 attempts to open every time we entered. Another guest gave us a tutorial as to how to play with the key to get front door open.

Beatuitful Town with Scotish spirit. Interesting idea with apartments in church. Nice and clean apartment with good conection to the airport and to the city centre.

2.0 / 10.0

Quite disappointed with the issues associated with the apartment and management’s approach to dealing with these.

Size of the bedrooms, place was generally clean and location was ok.

When we arrived the apartment had a horrible smell as though something had been burnt. There was also issues with the power circuit tripping in the main living area. Despite notifying management of the issues around the smell there was no response. Since then management has tried to place the blame of various issues on us, despite the fact that we raised these items as soon as we arrived. Very disappointing which has left us quite frustrated.

The property was clean and quite spacious, with good facilities and some charming church features.

We were attending an event in Ediburgh and selected this property mainly because of its location. I was very impressed with the cleanliness and the charm of the church features in one of the bedrooms.

The double bed was very low and quite uncomfortable to sleep on. It would fold in the middle if one was not careful enough. We also had trouble getting the keys out of the keybox. It took a considerable effort to open the keybox with the given code.

7.0 / 10.0

Due to the location & facilities, I’d stay here again.

An excellent location, and although central, it was very quiet. The flat was well equipped and had everything you needed for your stay.

The flat was very cold on arrival and it took nearly 24 hours to warm up. The decor was tired & was in need of a refresh and the sofa bed was small & uncomfortable.

8.0 / 10.0

Enjoyable experience, very central and many restaurants and pubs close by.

Location was ideal for us, we dined out locally and went to Murrayfield (The prime reason for our visit).

Was in a good location, just wish the double bed was more comfortable.

The location was good, we were staying for a wedding so it wasn't far to get to the venue. And it was quite, even during 6 nations rugby weekend, with Scotland playing at home. The bathroom was nice, the shower was had good pressure and could get nice and hot too. Kitchen had plenty of cutlery, plates etc.

The sofa wasn't very comfortable to sit on. The double bed was also very uncomfortable along with being very low to the ground. Woke up both mornings with pains in back. The twin room was very cold, think the radiators need bled because it wasn't putting out much heat.

We were not able to access the apartment.

Our host did not respond to our messaging through Booking, so we could not access the apartment. We are from America and did not have access to calling on our cell phones. All off our other bookings, for this trip, have been through Airbnb and the messaging has worked seamlessly.

The host would not respond to our messaging. The host required an additional 200 pound security deposit, through PayPal before our arrival.

Mediocre apartment in a good location

The location was great, walkable to the centre at a good price

The flat had a musky/damp smell. The hot tap in the bathroom sink didn't work, the washing machine was broken which the owner failed to tell us beforehand. When advertised as parking available on site for £10 a day...this is not true. There is street parking for £5 per hour, max stay 4 hours but good luck getting a space!

DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE!! You will be scammed and screwed over by host.

Nothing

-Host was rude, uncooperative about dogs being present (despite the listing being ok with dogs and me notifying the booking.com chat that I will be bringing dogs) FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!!!!! -Property had damp/wet towels sitting there for an unknown period of time. -Proper bedding was not provided or even on the beds -Host refused to give any refunds despite her lack of preparedness to receive guests. Had to call booking.com to resolve issue (didn’t help at all) -Host was elusive about pet cleaning fees (never stated a service charge for pets and even attempted to tell me and booking.com that there might be charges ABOVE the service charge fees)

1.0 / 10.0

Terrible host

Close to city centre

The host was very rude and disorderly, she has to be the worst host ever, she has no communication skills whatsoever and chooses to do whatever she likes without following booking.com guidelines. I advise anyone looking for a place to stay never to stay here. She’s just looking to make as much money as possible.

Wanted to stay longer and move in there!!

Everything was brilliant. We met Natalie when we arrived as we got there a little early and the collection of keys was very easy. The accommodation was spotless and had received a deep clean. Very good kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Brilliant information file to look at and if you needed to know anything it was there. Beautiful building and everyone around there seemed lovely and friendly.

Happy with everything.

3.0 / 10.0

Poor

The location of the apartments is great for exploring the city and there are some incredible finds locally for food. Having use of a living room meant we were able to relax once our little one had gone to bed. We paid for cot hire during our stay and lovely bedding was provided for this which was a nice touch. Natalie was quick to respond to my messages however the resolution not fantastic.

Prior to arrival a £200 damage deposit was taken for the stay. This in itself was fine however I therefore expected that the property would be top notch, it however wasn't. The flooring to the downstairs hall was heavily stained, bathroom flush and tap damages, kitchen floor times cracked and wobbly in places, damage to the leatherette of the sofa bed and generally looked in need of some love. On arrival the apartment was not particularly clean in site of there being a £30 'service charge' for cleaning and bedding. The freezer was off on arrival and smelt vile and was mouldy inside, I wish I had never opened the door as the smell lingered for the whole of our stay. This was 'fixed'/switch turned on by the handy man very quickly however not cleaned and still not usable.

Prima maar wel duur, vergane glorie

Ruim en schoon, goede bedden

Versleten badkamer, de kraan van de douche zat los en ging nauwelijks open en dicht. De vloeren zijn versleten. Volgens de checklist zou er een koffiezetapparaat zijn en zeepjes in de badkamer. Deze waren niet aanwezig. Zelfs geen rol wc papier. We hadden een early check in vanaf 14 uur maar de schoonmaak was pas om 15 uur weg (wel netjes schoon gemaakt!)

Die Wohnung war für für 4 Personen ideal.

Sehr gute öffentliche Verkehrsanbindung (Tram, Bahn, Bus ca. 400m entfernt) Ruhige Lage mit Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants.

Es wäre hilfreich gewesen, wenn z.B. passende Mülltüten und Plan für deren Entsorgung vorhanden wären. Die Sanitären Einrichtungen waren etwas instabil (Klo wackelt), Duschgarnitur schwer zu bedienen. Die Matratzen für uns zu weich.
