Edinburghs Arthurs seat View

Location was central for us to travel to the start line for the Edinburgh marathon which was the purpose of our stay. The flat was spacious with big windows to cool the place down in the summer heat. Full amenities in the kitchen and living room for a comfortable stay

Mattress was a bit stiff but that's totally personal preference so do not hold this against the hosts. Some rather random paint marks on the walls through the flat left it feeling a bit unfinished, as did the lack of door handle in the toilet. Strange windows from the bathroom to the bedroom means that anyone going to the bathroom at night, lights up the entire bedroom and wakes your partner up (odd design choice, especially if you are not romantically involved with the person you are staying with)

This is a well appointed bright apartment with all the amenities you need. Beautiful windows and view. Comfortable bed and nice shower. We also enjoyed the 20 minute walk to old town.

They were out of coffee pods for the machine unfortunately. A little bottle of cooking oil would have been nice!

Die Unterkunft war super zentral gelegen, in 20 min war man in der Altstadt, in 30 min am Hbf. Und wenn es mal geregnet hat, war auch in 3 Gehminuten eine Bushaltestelle. Am besten fanden wir aber, dass wir schnell in der Natur waren und nach einem kurzen Aufstieg einen atemberaubenden Ausblick auf Edinburgh hatten! Die Gastgeberin war nicht selbst vor Ort, aber der Ablauf war reibungslos und bei Fragen konnten wir sie über Booking kontaktieren. Wir fanden die Fußbodenheizung super gemütlich und angenehm warm!

Unten am Haus ist eine Bar, die war teilweise laut, allerdings nur bis ca. 23 Uhr, also gut aushaltbar. Vor dem Schlafzimmerfenster ist eine sehr helle Straßenlaterne aber man kann sie mit den Vorhängen gut abdunkeln, für jemand der empfindlich ist, würde ich aber eine Augenmaske und Ohrstöpsel empfehlen. Uns hat das jedoch nicht gestört.

The neighborhood and location and views were wonderful. We were in a community, not a "tourist trap". Wonderful restaurants surrounded us. Groceries were only a block away.

The apartment building was poorly maintained. The individual unit was clean, but we arrived to a dark unlit hallway with visible trash - including a mattress blocking the back exit! We were leery to enter at all. We climbed two floors over marble steps that had not been cleaned for possibly years. The hosts did not accept responsibility for the condition of the building or entry. The hallway light was repaired by our second night.
