  : 1. The property has a prime location - close proximity to all major tourist attractions. Good selection of restaurants nearby as well.2. Customer service was excellent, and the staff was very apologetic for the below inconveniences weve experienced - very responsive at late night and even gave us a bottle of Prosecco as a gesture of apology.
  : 1. The stairs which lead to the property (3rd floor) are very steep and treacherous - may not be suitable for aged travellers.2. The flat sleeps 4 with one double bed and one sofa bed. Not sure if its because the sofa bed was not used very often - it was not clean. The bedsheet, duvet and pillow have yellow stains on them - think they need to be replaced.3. Biggest problem weve experienced in this trip: there is a hot water switch in the kitchen that need to be switched on all the time so that the water tank is heated for showers. However no one has told us this and apparently the previous tenant switched it off. When we arrived at 8pm trying to take a shower, we were told that as the switch was not on, it will take approximately 1hr for the water to heat up before we can take showers. Whats more, given its a water tank type of setting, the hot water was only enough for two people to take relatively quick showers (definitely not for three).

  : The location is magnificent; you can have nothing like this one in Edinburgh. The view is amazing. The apartment is well facilitated and designed. The sofabed is comfortable. Despite located at High Street, it's not too crowded nor loud. The host is very responsive.
  : The stairs are steep and quite challenging; there's no lift in the property.

  : Located right on the royal mile you have great views up and down. Edinburgh castle is just 10 minutes up the hill, so you are right in the middle of all the action! Bagpipes bagging all day is a lovely soundtrack to the apartment.The flat was lovely nice bed. Huge pullout bed. Kitchen has everything you will need. Nice hot shower with no issues of temperature which made a difference in the sub zero environment!Overall a fantastic property. Snap it up if it becomes available!!
  : Flat took some time to warm up which I a giving with the weather. Good curtain management will help!
