“I noted the spacious, family-friendly apartments with self-catering facilities; however, reports of cleanliness issues and maintenance concerns give me pause. The location near Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street is a definite plus, especially for families or business travelers. The 24-hour service aims to add convenience, but needs to be reliable.”

not a super clean stay

broken cupboardsticky floors
The cleanliness was really a letdown. i spotted hairs in the bathroom and some dirt along the bath seams, it was annoying. cupboard doors were broken too and the floors felt sticky with dirt. I had to wash everything before i dared use it. i can't believe such poor hygiene exists right in the city center at the price i paid.

a home away from home!

kitchen facilitiesfriendly stafferwater leak
I found a tesco nearby. That was quite handy for the kitchen. the front desk staffer was really friendly and helpful! the room was spacious, and the large window gave nice light. we appreciated the separate recessed counter and sink. They helped keep things organized.
the washing machine wouldn't start initially because the water source was off. once that was sorted, i discovered puddles by the cupboard after drying my clothes. it seems the water source was likely turned off due to this leak.

The apartment includes useful amenities such as a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and cooking utensils. I found everything i needed for a comfortable stay. the availability of these facilities.

tesco stores are nearby, offering a convenient option to purchase groceries. the apartment's fully equipped kitchen allowed for preparing meals, and i appreciated the flexibility this offered. i liked the convenience of having these options.
