Rose Street - Watchmakers Apartment

Easy to collect keys, fantastic location in the middle of the city so you can walk to everything. A nice park and viewpoint for Edinburgh Castle is just a 5 minute walk away. Good beds and spacious within the interior of the apartment.

Couldn't get the radiators to work right so we were quite cold. Due to the central location it was also a bit loud at night as there are pubs nearby.

La ubicación

Un poco ruidosa la calle

Ubicación perfecta, muy céntrica y muy fácil de llegar desde aeropuerto. El apartamento era tal y como se mostraba en las fotos, y la comunicación e indicaciones de lo anfitriones fueron rápidas, fluidas y claras. Es un primer piso (no ascensor) con dos habitaciones suficientes (éramos 4 adultos), cocina y baño completo. La calefacción muy fácil de controlar a demanda

Al ser tan céntrico es un poco ruidoso, pero se puede descansar y dormir sin mayor problema. Para nuestro gusto las almohadas eran un poco duras, pero eso es muy personal...

The only positive aspect of our stay was that the hosts were quick to respond and tried to resolve issues fairly fast. And location

However, overall the experience was very disappointing and felt poorly managed. From the beginning there was a lack of coordination — the key that was supposed to be in the lockbox was missing, and we had to wait outside in the cold for around 20 minutes before it was sorted out. The apartment itself feels old, poorly maintained, and not very clean despite its central location. The building and flat look quite neglected. There were also several “cost-saving” rules that made the stay uncomfortable and stressful. The heating (radiators) was turned off, and there were strict warnings about using towels or linens, implying extra charges if anything was “misused.” Even toilet paper was extremely limited, which created an uncomfortable feeling during the stay. Overall, it felt like everything was designed around minimizing usage rather than providing a comfortable guest experience, which negatively affected our mood during the trip. Noise was another major issue. The windows are old and single-glazed wooden frames, so you can hear everything from outside. Rose Street is extremely noisy at night and early morning, with shops unloading goods and delivery trucks starting very early. On top of that, there was construction work on the neighbouring building with scaffolding, which woke us up around 6 AM. Because of all this, sleep quality was very poor throughout our stay.

Perfect location

Location and size

The location was amazing! Also the contact with the company was very good and fast. We will be back!

Nothing

Lovely spacious and clean apartment

Shower holder was broken and therefore could not have a shower unless holding the shower head in hand. Tried to fix the holder but was very loose. No plug for sink or kitchen (or I could not find it anywhere?) no bowl so could not wash up properly. Building work with much scaffolding at back of apartment taking place and started the noise of the works early hours which woke us up.

L'emplacement est super on a pu faire tout a pied et en bus, l'appartement est bien agencé et agréable. Nous avons séjourné en Décembre et le chauffage central rend le séjour encore plus confortable. L'équipe est réactive quand il y a des questions ou un problème.
