Good flat with a great location!
The flat was in a wonderful location right across the street from the Meadows and within walking distance (30min or less) of the major attractions we wished to see in Old Town. The flat was basically clean and well cared for though a deep cleaning might be helpful. Heat worked well and there was lots of hot water. It is up a flight of stairs so may not work well for those with restricted mobility. Overall, a great choice for our holiday in Edinburgh.

Below average
The communication from the owner was less than stellar. We were without heat for 3 days but there was no urgency from the seller. Beds were uncomfortable and floors were very unlevel. Location was great!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Warning Warning!!!
If you like a frat house ambiance complete with limited heat and no hot water, then this is your place. The VRBO pictures are misleading and the stairway up to the flat is straight put of a horror movie. Sadly the 1 redeeming factor is the property team's attempts to unsuccessfully solve the no hot water issue. We always try to leave a space as clean or cleaner than when we arrived but in this case it was impossible.

Amazing location, could use a deep clean
Pros first - this property is in a beautiful location just a short walk away from Old Town and the Royal Mile. The Meadows is a lovely park area busy with students, families, cyclists and runners and the area is quite safe at night and during the day. It was an actual pleasure to start and end our days here. The bedrooms are large and there are two full, recently renovated bathrooms and the kitchen is well equipped.
Cons - the bedding was fine but the pillows were so poor we actually went to a Tesco Superstore and bought our own to use. And the property clearly hadn’t even been vacuumed prior to our arrival. I messaged the property manager to let them know and ask if it could be remedied. We exchanged some emails, they asked me to send photos, which I did, but nothing ever came of it which was somewhat frustrating. and the unit as a whole could use a deep clean - things like baseboards and whatnot needed a vacuum and a wipe down.
On the whole, we didn’t spend much time in the apartment and had beautiful weather so it didn’t matter as much as it could have.
