A very smart minimalist flat, with a terrific sense of being in the middle of Edinburgh. We were there during the Fringe festival, and the 'buzz' around us was palpable - queues for big shows at the venue Assembly on the Mound tailed back to right under our window. The 'double glazing' is in fact lightweight secondary glazing. Light sleepers will wish it were triple glazing, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when the Wash Bar below is busy until 3am. Earplugs did the trick for us. Not really a problem if you pick a central location - and the bed is comfortable. To get help and advice on details and in the case of any difficulties, the agent offers two mobile phone numbers - but these were slow to respond, and some questions were unanswered despite repeated voice and text messages left. It could be that all the usual little niggles are already known to the agent and the owners, and so they assume rightly that the guests will eventually figure it out for themselves. We had no emergencies, luckily. The lift which takes you from 2nd to 4th floor (street level is apparently 1st floor) broke down, with us inside it, on our second day, but was fixed by the day of our departure. Mostly everything worked, after a fashion. Too few elec sockets for the number of appliances (unplug microwave to use toaster etc) Main niggle: plumbing. Possibly the fault of the whole building's system, but we found ourselves at one point emptying the slow-draining sink by hand. Tipping this down the loo was no real solution when the loo itself failed to flush. Once some dishwater left in the sink took 12 hours to drain away. But then mysteriously both these appliances seem to cure themselves! - by the third day the cistern would refill efficiently, and the sink did its thing in under an hour. Hard to know when to complain of such minor annoyances - maybe every guest does, or none do... The flat has free wi-fi, but you have to enter the product key. What is the number? This question was the one which WAS eventually answered by our third day - and all the time it was printed on the underside of the router. [Please add this info to the guests' welcome form.] Maybe other people know to look there, but we didn't, and were confused further by the irrelevant pay-by-time tariff(BT FON) which pops up when connection is established. A nice point is that the recessed ceiling lighting is dimmable - that may be a thing of the past for all of us soon, as ordinary light bulbs are phased out. There are several bulbs kaput, and no way of reaching them; not that this is a job a guest paying £100 a night would expect to have to do. [This should be on the cleaner's checklist, please.] The floor creaks a lot, which can disturb one's partner in the night, and generally the smart minimalism is wafer thin. A shelf and the loo roll holder drooped, and all the hard surfaces are very noisy. But all minimalism is like that, and they've done their best to squeeze what is needed into a small space. I have tried to give an honest and detailed review that will be helpful to the owners and future guests alike. The point about a rented apartment is that it is your own home for the period, and of course everything (and the solution to everything) is a bit unfamiliar. My conclusion is that we had a very happy stay: such a blessing to be able to walk home from any city event rather than dealing with transport. just a few hundred yards from Waverley Station, fantastic. It is so agreeable to get food and wine (from M & S in the station) and cook it 'at home' rather than always being at the mercy of restaurants. I would book this flat again if I needed a place to stay in 'Auld Reekie' - but I think there will be strong competition for it, so book early!
