Spacious Flat Sleeps 8 near Princes Street

The location

What an inconvenience of finding the right location - loading and unloading the number of luggages due to misleading address and directions. Rubbish in the entry way Mouse seen running into living room and in hall way Spiders all over the place. I saw 4 with my own eyes Map location/address. Maps brings us to different location!!! Include cross street and better directions on how to find the place!! Totally ruined the beginning of our stay by searching for the place for a long period of time with the taxi!! That cost us more money! 2 walkway would’ve been an address to look for instead of Gaylord place lane!!! Wasted our time! Blow dryer provided had a European plug!!! No use!! Bed mattress is bigger than frame by entrance. Can opener is broken. No instructions on how to turn on heater! It’s cold here! Poor and untimely response to early check-in REQUEST!! Once we arrived they let us know that we couldn’t do early check-in. False advertising!! You said you had 2 bathrooms!!! You have 2 showers and 1 toilet!!!!!! A full bathroom generally contains a bath or shower (or both), a toilet. You only provided 2 toilet paper rolls!! Not enough!!! It was done on the first day!! Kitchen chairs were shedding and filthy!! TVs don’t work! Only showed americas got talent in living room. Kitchen tv did not work. I need compensation as I did not get what we paid for. Especially the false advertising on the toilet situation. Very misleading and super disappointing. The only thing i liked about this place was its central location. That’s it.

This apartment is in a very good location (called Gayfield Place), within easy reach of public transport (bus, tram and taxi). It is the lower apartment in a duplex house and so it is a bit below street level. One needs to climb down stairs to reach the front door from the street level. The house has spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. Only one of the bathrooms has a toilet, while both have bath facilities. It also has a very spacious kitchen and a separate sitting room, and so is good for families and large groups. They also have a decent sized refrigerator and very good kitchen facilities, ideal for longer stays of more than 1-2 days. The access instructions were clear and crisp, and they worked for us the first time we tried. The host communicates with us through WhatsApp and while he is responsive, there can be some delays in response.

The apartment suffers from a few drawbacks. First, it does not come with a dedicated parking space. One has to reserve a paid parking spot using a third-party app called Your Parking Space (https://www.yourparkingspace.co.uk/). Strongly recommend the host to provide a paid/ permit parking space, at least a few hours after check-in, since this will greatly help travelers unload their luggage and feel comfortable. The second is that, as mentioned above, the apartment lacks direct street access and is half a level below street levels. This means that one (along with one's luggage) needs to walk down from the street level to the front door of the apartment. Combined with the lack of a proper parking space, this becomes an issue with large families traveling with a number of small and big bags. The third important drawback is the lack of a drier. The apartment has a washer, but no drier, and it is not very convenient to dry clothes on kitchen tables and other furniture. The fourth of course is a caution deposit that the host will demand from the guest a few days before arrival. This appears to be a lack of trust in the guest as well as in the booking.com system. The caution deposit is made through a third party app that does not feel authentic. The refund (after checkout) is reasonably fast, but the balance will reflect on your card a few days late. I feel this is not in the right spirit and should be waived for guests who have a good track record.

Location and lots of space. Clean

Dated and mismatch furniture.

Where it was. Loads of room.

Broken t.v in front room and no t.v remote. Dirty. Kitchen smelted dirty and of old food. Mold on bed frame. Dust and dirt around skirting boards in corners. Curtains didn't close and didn't match. Furniture was uncomfortable, dirty and didn't match. Both lamps in living room didn't work or even have bulbs in. Lack of bins. Dust everywhere. Entrance to property was dangerous, overgrown weeds and leaves which was slippery. I fell down the first few steps first time and hurt myself. Marks on bedroom carpet

The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. Location is very convenient. Very close to the city centre. Good for a big group.

Tv wasn’t working fine. Nobody fixed it even after raising it with the team. Some of the utensils in the kitchen were not very clean
