Very nice atmosphere and nicely decorated in a simple way.
Location is great. Apartment is very specious and beautiful.
Pillows. If there are 4 pillows they need to be of different density for different people. The bed had dour pillows that were very high and hard. The bed mattress could be better.
The sofa bed is very uncomfortable so if its not for children i would not recommend.
Also you can’t rent the flat for 3 people for 4 days and only have 2 toilet paper rolls.
But those are just constructive criticism to make it even better. The place is worth going back .

No view from the windows, but we were out all day so not a problem. We couldn't really think of anything we 'didn't like'

Nice street, close enough to action, comfortable accommodation
Location is fine at the other end of Princes St by the Caley which is fine. we arrived by train into Waverley and and changed to go to Haymarket which was 11 min walk. On the way back we took the tram which was easier.
We stayed in the Drakon Suite which is a basement at the back of the building. Overall good experience.
The outer door is very stiff so at first I though I had the code wrong but you have to give a string shove to open it.
You enter into a corridor with first a door to the boiler room - v warm with a drying rack, 2nd a spacious shower room with walk in shower and heated radiator. Shower was rainfall and Handheld, good water pressure, good toiletries. We found the bathmat got quite wet but we hung it in boiler room overnight. Good storage on shelf above sink and sink is inset into draw unit so storage there too. There is a panel; outside shower room which controls heated towel rail and maybe underfloor heating - although we didn't try that - not sure that this was mentioned in manual.
Last door in corridor leads into main room, kitchen area in one corner TV, sofa other corner with washing machine in alcove. Bed on back wall. Nice size compared to a hotel room but of course there are downsides to a studio - I had to cover up the Microwave clock which bothered me when lights were out. Bed very comfortable, premium linen and 2 very plump pillows each.
I was concerned that the pictures showed the Studio with no curtains or blinds, I tried to phone a few times during advertised office hours but no one ever answered, when I tried on the messaging I got a response to assure me that there were indeed blinds, so I guess that is the best way to make contact.
The windows are Sash - single glazed with roller blinds and there are Patio doors out to a small terrace with venetian blinds. Certainly not Blackout quality but good enough and you get a gradual light ingress as the sun rises.
There was an iron which worked well and a table top board.
Obviously this is a Working city, so don't expect tranquillity or a lie in til 10:00. The studio backs onto a lane with the back of Retail units with Social housing on top. Lots of bins, so prepare for deliveries and bin collection. A lot of very loud Pigeon noise (due to bins?) which went through the night - take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

Five star (apart from the pillows!!)
Beautiful space which was well decorated
Good facilities
Good location
Pillows were awful. Too hard and thick. Why not have a range of pillows and in particular the option of feather pillows?. Considering the price of the place this wouldn’t be unreasonable
We were left with only two toilet rolls, two coffee pods etc. again given the cost, this seemed very ungenerous

Stunning apartment!
The apartment is very spacious and beautifully decorated. It is an easy walk to the main attractions. We had excellent communication with the hosts - clear and easy to follow instructions. I would highly recommend this apartment.

Send a heating engineer when required
This was a lovely property with everything required however it was ruined by hours of trying to get hot water .
No hot water 30 hours emailed expecting them to send someone to fix it how wrong was I ,we had to take cold showers . They then where asking us to try different things with a hive which we where not familiar with . They then asked us to look in the cupboard where the heating unit was ,it was so stiff we thought we were going to break the door or that it had a secret lock . With permission we forced it open and found the heating and water where turned off , was assured it had been checked before the cleaner left . Was unsure what settings and they could not tell me so got offered another flat at 9pm this was reported at 2pm . We declined this as we where leaving 10am the next morning and it was not worth the hassle it would cause , eventually I called my local heating engineer who talked me through and we got the hot water on . I emailed them photos of the setting so hopefully this could be forwarded to the next resident to save them 7 hrs of emails when we were trying to enjoy a short break . I’ve added a photo in case you have a problem and you can see the settings only wish the hosts had sent me this .

Wouldn't want to stay in the basement again, but overall it's fine.
A great space with everything you need. Good level of appliances, full kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine with washing tablets etc. which is a great touch. Clean and great location for getting around Edinburgh.
I didn't like the communication or check-in/out experience. We were charged extra for an early check-in which is fine, we had a really busy back-to-back day and just needed a moment to rest, but were then told someone would be coming into the apartment during this time, which caused unnecessary stress. We'd already paid an extortionate amount as stayed during the Fringe and Oasis weekend, so felt like another kicker.
The doorhandles were really tricky, definitely designed by a man as almost impossible for me to open as a woman (and I don't have particularly small hands..!) - Not at all accessible as need to use two hands and push incredibly hard whilst turning a very awkward handle.
We stayed in the Kaida Suite (basement, street-facing). Single-glazed windows meant every street sound, including seagulls and late-night noise, felt like it was right by the bed.
Lastly, the fan was extremely loud and couldn’t be turned off without turning off the lights—frustrating in a basement flat where lights are needed constantly.

Beautiful place, very good location, soundproofing may be an issue
Very good location, beautiful apartment, fantastic bathroom
- No sound-proofing whatsoever. You could hear everything happening both on the street and in the other apartments in the building - and I’m sure they could hear us despite trying to keep it down.
- Although it was beautifully renovated and decorated there is no wardrobe or a place to hide your luggage (there are some cupboards in the kitchen and a very shallow closet behind a door but they won’t fit luggage or clothes) so you end up having your bags lying around and cluttering the lovely space

Lovely stay
Lovely apartment, clean with good facilities
Took me a while to get the lock box open for the key, but once opened no issues
This property is stunning, the interior and decor is beautiful. The location is unbeatable. We had a lovely stay apart from a few issues.
We found the beds very uncomfortable, the master bedroom is huge but the bed is tiny. Would highly recommend putting in a super king. Our sleep wasn’t great at all. The sofa bed was very very uncomfortable, a topper would be better for an added layer of comfort. The kids didn’t mind but terrible for adults.

Overall we had a pleasant stay and would stay here again.
The apartment was spacious and in a good quiet neighbourhood located close to Princes St and Haymarket.
Getting into the apartment itself is a little tricky. The doors are not easy to open, and it took us quite a while to figure it out.

Bright, clean, tasteful apartment in beautiful period house
good communication from the owners, they emailed and texted me, this was helpful because we were travelling and may not have picked up the email.
clear communication, tasteful deco and everything we needed. bright and clean with a small outside courtyard, we had the basement apartment at the rear of this beautiful period property, in a quiet but central area.
The door knobs were stiff and hard to turn, this could easily be improved and then the property would be perfect.

Kaida apartment, Alva Street
We stayed in the basement apartment in Alva Street. Nice quiet location but close to town centre. Apartment was nicely furnished. Good communication from host from booking right through to check out. Overall was ideal for our 2 night break, we would definitely stay again.
Not a major issue but would be nice if check in was a little earlier or there was somewhere to leave luggage on site.

Great location and cozy place to stay
Lovely place to stay! We loved the chic apartment-look and all of the amenities. Great location to shops, restaurants, etc.
Replace flat pillows! Overall, this wasn't a deal breaker, but fluffier pillows would have been nice.

Wonderful apartment in the city centre
The apartment was really comfortable and cozy in every way. The bed, the bathroom, the heating, the well equipped kitchen and laundry, were exceptional.
The location was amazing to walk the city's main attractions, and very well communicated with public transport to go everywhere else.

Terrific stay in modern, comfy and well-stocked apartment in central Edinburgh
Centrally located but on a quieter side street, very close to coffee shops, restaurants, Tesco express & Sainsburys. Very comfy bed, super shower and fantastic underfloor heating in the bathroom. Kitchen had all we needed and everything was as depicted in the photos.
Couch is a bit lumpy - one begins to slide off after sitting for a while but this is minor in comparison to how lovely everything else is.
