Awesome location / comfy flat to enjoy Fringe Fest or explore
Property is a nice ground floor flat in a quiet and safe neighborhood near Leith Walk and buses to everywhere. Plenty of amenities within a short walk, including a nice grocer just a couple of minutes away. The flat itself had everything we needed - cooking gear, washer / dryer comfy and clean beds, couch, iron, hair dryer, etc. for my spouse and her parents. Couple of minor things the cleaning crew missed (one of the bathroom waste cans and a hamper full of dirty linens) and the entry hall toilet needed a few pushes of the handle to flush, but easily overcome. Also, you need a match or lighter to light the stove and there weren't any when we got there so we got matches at the store nearby. The only (almost) major problem was with checkin - we got very detailed instructions with pics to find the lockbox but they were actually wrong. The correct lockbox is on the board, bottom row, second from the left. Fortunately we tried them all and found the winner. I will say that the management company was very responsive through the portal even late at night (we didn't arrive until after 11pm). Would definitely stay again.
