7.6/10 Good! (4 reviews)

The apartment is very small and a bit far from the center, you need a car or a bus to reach it. The hall is narrow and the bathroom is small, one bedroom is small and barely fits a double bed. There is a hanging bed but it is not equipped and the ladder is broken. The apartment is clean and the kitchen is good but the sheets are worn out. The apartment only fits two people, contrary to what is written that it fits four, but there is no sofa bed, even just a sofa in the hall

Very welcoming and accommodating. Great food and exceptional drinks menu. Great place to stay if you are visiting Edinburgh. Pretty much anywhere you will want to visit is walkable.
