The West Bow Apartment

Location was amazing Communication from hosts was excellent Really clear access instructions

Had to leave to go home

Very roomy and extremely clean apartment with comfortable bed and couch, great dining area with super comfortable and very cool lucite chairs, outstanding kitchen and cooking facilities, fabulously appointed bathroom, great heavy/soft towels, love the towel heater, adequate mirrors in two rooms for two people getting ready, beautiful and functioning sash windows one could open to let in fresh air and sunshine. Lovely flat all round!

Missing instructions in the guest binder for stove/oven and washer/dryer required a call and a lot of fiddling. Wall clock needs a battery. Most under-counter lights in the kitchen did not work. Kitchen could use a hand towel in addition to the dish towel provided. Fan in the dining area did not work properly. L-rm cushions old and pilled; replace with a beautiful Scottish tartan fabric that coordinates with the couch colour. Blank walls in dining-room could use a large piece of art that goes with the Edinburgh theme of the living room. Radiator in bedroom makes a knocking noise. Late night revellers loud in the late evenings.

The location was very good for access to the tourist spots in the the old town, and there were plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. The apartment was well equipped with everything that we needed.

close to pubs and shops

no air conditioning Can smell fried food from downstairs restaurant all day very noisy in the evening till 3-4 am
