Modern 4 Bedroom House - Free Parking - Edinburgh City Centre

Nothing

It was filthy from top to bottom. Kitchen grill pan covered in dried fat, baking trays stuck together with fat. Oven filthy, one chair broken, dirty dish cloth in cupboard, fridge dirty need I go on! Crockery and cutlery all over the place, there were only 4 of us but would certainly not accommodate 8. Cotton buds led in kitchen cupboards. Carpets throughout did not look like they had been hoovered, and disgusting walked around in my shoes as did not feel comfortable walking around bare foot, sofa had stains on. Rubbish piled up in garden, lawns not cut. 1st floor double bedroom, stains on ceiling, paint work badly marked , twin room curtain rail falling off wall and plaster dust down the side of the bed, sanitary towel left in cupboard . Top floor bedroom shower leaking, wet carpet, rusty wire shower caddy. All toiletries left from last few guests everywhere. One bin throughout. No toilet rolls left. Paintwork throughout needs a good clean. After 8 hour journey had to wait 3 hours to get correct code to get in. Mobile phone to contact owners went straight to voicemail, no response to emails. Spent 1 hour on phones to booking.com. Worst experience and accommodation I’ve ever had. Would not recommend to anyone. Nothing luxury about this house what so ever.

Although in the middle of a large housing estate it was very close to the path to the main road where there’s a bus stop so it was easy to get in and out of the city.

This house is far from luxurious. It is cheaper than other houses of its size and there’s good reason for that. Here’s is a list of what we found: Kitchen dirty Fridge dirty Oven dirty Carpets all dirty Found a pair of men’s pants in the first floor twin bedroom Smell of vomit in first floor double bedroom Curtain and pole fell down in first floor double bedroom. I managed to speak to the owner about this but he was not helpful. Hair in top floor shower Shower tiles mouldy and glass dirty Cutlery insufficient and very poor quality Not enough essentials like washing up liquid, hand wash Rubbish behind the couch No bin liners TV doesn’t work properly Garden unkempt and bin full to overflowing Communication very bad, no response to messages Didn’t get door code till 45 mins after check in time.

Modern, quite, comfortable.

Upon arrival, the carpet in the living room had quite obviously not been cleaned. The walls have been scraped and scratched and are in need of new paint. We stayed in 6 different places while visiting Scotland, this was the only one without towel warmers in the bathrooms. There was but a single trash can for the entire 3-level apartment. There are very few places to place luggage in the bedrooms. There were no hand towels or paper towels available.

It was a good location and quiet surroundings with plenty of parking. The bathroom facilities were good and the lounge was comfortable.

We were very surprised to find this property described as a "luxury" four-bedroom house, as our experience was far from luxurious. The cleanliness of the property in particular left a lot to be desired. To highlight a few issues: In one of the double bedrooms, although the bed was neatly made, it was clear that someone had recently been lying on the bottom sheet and pillow. Additionally, the towel provided was neatly folded but was damp and did not smell fresh. While the rest of the bedding and towels were clean and had a fresh scent, several items were stained. One of the outdoor bins was overflowing, making it unpleasant to sit outside and enjoy the space. The carpets and rugs had clearly not been vacuumed, and there was no vacuum cleaner inside the house. We did locate one in the shed, buried under various items, suggesting it hadn’t been used in quite some time. There was a half eaten packet of biscuits on the coffee table when we arrived and an empty crisp packet (expiry Jan 25) on the top of one of the wardrobes. Communication was poor. We were told we would receive the door code several hours before our arrival. Having not heard anything, we phoned the number provided with an hour of our journey remaining and left a voicemail. We also left a message on Booking.com. We tried ringing again just before our agreed arrival time but there was still no answer. Following a five-hour journey this was really not ideal. We knocked on the door of the property and was met by a gentleman who identified himself as part of the hospitality team. He asked us to wait 5 minutes whilst he finished up despite us arriving at the agreed time. He then gave us the door code and left. We never did receive any follow-up or communication from the owners. Overall, our experience did not live up to the expectations set by the property's description.

Quite and clean

There is no mirror on top floor

Free parking, plenty of space for family of 5, clean linens, large beds comfortable.

No toilet paper provided (which is fine if you know ahead of time), difficult to figure out where to put garbage(no bins or instructions provided), electrical socket covered in one bedroom so difficult to use. Single beds a bit uncomfortable.

The house was clean and in a nice quiet location

Unfortunately they gave us the wrong card key number so couldn’t get in. Phoning emergency number but went to answer phone. Email but no reply. Had to sit out I. The car for over hour and half before got phone call back. The person did apologies but not quite emergency number as it advertised. House has no toilet paper, no coffee, no complimentary milk sashes. The tv doesn’t work no instruction, tried retuned but said no connection. Real shame because we were really looking forward to the place from what advertised on the web. Could have stayed somewhere a bit cheaper if known. If they could fix these issue would be pleasant

On a positive note, the house is tastefully decorated and located in a quiet area, which made for a peaceful stay. The interior design is pleasant, and the space is well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable visit. Communication with the host was prompt, and check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. The property also offers a good amount of space, which is especially appreciated when travelling with pets.

However, some things detracted from the experience. Although the property is pet-friendly, after booking, I found out that only one dog is allowed, which was not mentioned in the description. Despite having stated that I had two toy poodles, clean and well-behaved dogs, I was charged an additional £30, justified by the potential for damage and the housekeeper's allergies - a detail that, in my opinion, should have been specified earlier. Furthermore, upon arrival, I found the level of cleanliness to be below expectations: the dust had not been wiped, the fridge and oven needed cleaning, and the yard was unkempt with many cigarette butts. I believe greater transparency regarding the pet policy and increased attention to cleanliness would have greatly improved the overall experience.

Lovely house, very clean and big enough for our large family

Felt homely and comfortable. Nice and quiet area.
