dark room grease around
The location was acceptable since it was within walking distance to attractions.
The room was quite disappointing. It did not match the photos online. It faced the street and was very dark! There was encrusted grease around the stove top. A permanent smell of frying lingered in the air. The ventilation hood clearly needed cleaning.

basic tv unreplenished supplies
the apartment had a good location near the train station and buses. the edinburgh castle was also within walking distance.
The tv was very basic, i could not stream programs from my phone. on the third day, i removed the "do not disturb" sign hoping for fresh towels. the toilet roll was nearly empty and not replenished, and tissues were also missing (i had to get toilet paper from a communal restroom). the tea and coffee supplies were not replenished either.

great location spacious kitchen early check out short time
The location was superb. the apartment was modern with a spacious kitchen and living area. It included everything i needed.
the 10 am check out time felt far too early. i also believe an earlier check-in time would be beneficial.
