Flat itself is great, As everyone has said, not suitable for those who cannot climb 3 lots of stairs (top floor flat) and lots of building work seems to be going on (we were a weekend stay so not effected). That said, just a few things kept it off 5* for us. First the good things, really clean and comfortable, great heating and plenty of hot water for my son and I. Ideal location for us (10 minute walk to the University and 15 minute to the castle. Elements that would have made it better, the radio doesn’t work and the TV needs a 5 minute warm up before the picture stops flickering. That and the fact that the boiler clock ticks loudly (annoying when you cannot but hear it at night) means we give it 4*.

8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2024
First off this apartment was as described and is really nicely furnished, loads of space and very warm with easy to control heating. It has a large open plan kitchen and living space and large bedrooms. There is regeneration going on around but the noise intrusion is minimal and being on the 3rd floor helps further. It is fully equipped and although their are loads of dishwasher tablets in the property we couldn't locate a dishwasher, maybe the tablets are for some cleaning hack! In 10 mins you can walk to Grass market although with two children this took us 15 mins but on largely very quiet and safe streets. Yes, it is on the third floor but the stairs are easy enough unless you are elderly or otherwise unable but this point is clear on the description. What I would say is the entrance to the block and stairwell is quite forbidding (think Trainspotting) and with some cleaning, paint and indoor plants could be made more much welcoming. It does shave off some of the feel good ambience of the really nice apartment. The area is fab, no shortage of shops, bars and food, everything you need and a huge park area at the end of the street. It is listed as a no smoking apartment but being non smokers we could immediately smell odour of tobacco and it appears some residents might be leaning out of the window to smoke as a cigarette butt was present in the window inner frame when opened. This odour did reduce our enjoyment of what would otherwise be a 5 star review.
