“Great location for Edinburgh sites.”
The location was excellent and the view over Greyfriars Kirkyard was wonderful. Firstly, access was very difficult. The key lock-box was very hard to open (it looked like someone previously had trie… More

Response from the manager Thanks for taking the time to write a review and glad to hear you enjoyed the location and view. We have reviewed the instructions for the keys to help with that and have oiled the key box to improve the opening mechanism; thanks for these alerts. The central heating is timed to come on/off morning and evening, and there's a thermostat in the hallway to increase the temperature as desired at other times; instructions are in the Guest Information Folder and we're happy to give further info to guests if they message us during their stay. This is an historical building and the shower room is functional but not big; we have maximised use of the space as best as we can. Parking in the centre of Edinburgh is restricted, and you are correct that Quartermile (c.250m away) is the closest. All main sights are within walking distance of the apartment, so a car isn’t essential while in Edinburgh. Some guests decide to hire a car on their last morning in Edinburgh if they are touring afterwards (or drop their hire car off at the hire company on their arrival day), so that they don’t need to worry about a car when in the city. Hope this feedback is helpful and we'd be happy to host you again in the future.

Response from the manager Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Glad that you liked the central location and the availability of buses very nearby. All tenement apartments in Edinburgh are accessed by shared stairways, which tend to be functional more than luxurious, although the entry-phone system ensures the security of the stairway. Good to hear that you enjoyed the apartment itself.
