The Lothian Road Residence

Very central, easy to walk to main attractions. Close to a range of cafés and bars and easy walk to the bus stop for the airport.

The shared entrance to the building seemed very dark on first arrival.

The location of the property is excellent. Also the property manager was really efficient.

First of all the bed mattress in the last room to the right of the apartment, the one with the mint green walls, is broken in one side. Not the bed or the supporting frame but the mattress itself on the left side. It is incredibly uncomfortable! All of the windows can’t close all the way up and there is no way to secure and close them properly. This lets all the cold air in and it takes a lot of time for the place to get warm. The bathroom and WC should be cleaned more efficiently. Also the toilet in the WC is not glued to the floor it actually can move from its place. Moreover there were no rubbish bins in the bathroom and WC, so in order to dispose sanitary napkins and baby wipes, you have to take them all the way to the kitchen, which is kind of hygienically compromising. Also a few things to improve would be to provide nightstands and bed side lamps in the rooms and because the building’s staircase is slippery, dangerous and uneven something should be done about it.

3 bedrooms

Only one shower

It is a nice size in a superb location and everything was available in the accommodation except for the free Parking space but there are a lot of parking spaces around.

There was no lift for heavy luggages which needs to be considered.

Location and layout

Found the ‘closed’ loo first…. But soon found the actual loo

The spacious and lightly living room. The location, real centre of the city, plus good bus connections right in front of the door. Comfortable beds and cosy duvets. Fully equipped kitchen.

The lock is a bit tricky to open the door to the building. There are no bedside lights, so it is inconvenient to turn the room light and then go to bed. Also, it does not allow for comfortably reading before sleep. The bathroom shower head does not work well, water comes out from everywhere and not enough from where it should; it is ok, but not convenient.

Absolutely stunning place ..clean and well equipped ..

Close proximity to all attractions: apartment clean and comfortable. Christine was most helpful and very responsive to texts.

Initial impression when we came in off the street was dark and dusty, and we were very apprehensive until we reached the apartment. The apartment was spotless, bright, and airy, but it's a long way up not really suitable for older people . Bed in the middle room could do with a headboard as pillows kept slipping away toward the gap .9
