The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, and in a very convenient location with easy access to many places in Edinburgh. I would give a good rating to both the location and the apartment itself.
However, there were two important issues that I wish had been made clearer in the listing. First, there are around 60 steps leading up to the building, which is quite a lot, especially when carrying luggage. The stairway was also very dirty. I really think this should be clearly mentioned in the property description so guests know what to expect before booking.
Second, we booked the apartment for five people, but the sleeping arrangements were not really suitable for five guests. There was one bedroom with two single beds and another bedroom with one king bed, which only provides proper beds for four people. The fifth person would have had to sleep on the sofa or on the floor.
Overall, I liked the apartment itself and the location, but I cannot give a high overall rating because of the large number of entrance stairs, the condition of the stairway, and the sleeping arrangement for the fifth guest.
