Would stay again but only if they sort the lock system and up their communication!
Pros:

The Apartment itself was lovely. Comfortable, clean, everything was spot on.

Cons:

However!…. The pin and Akilies link that was sent to me didn’t work. I had to wait outside the property for 2 hrs waiting on someone responding to my texts/messages. I sat in the pub next door waiting and the barman said this happened ALL THE TIME. The residents apparently spent more time in the pub trying to get into the apartment than enjoying the apartment. Such a shame it’s a rubbish lock system as the location and apartment was wonderful.

We had a lovely stay and would recommend to friends
Pros:

Location was fantastic a little noisy late at night as there is a bar below. Easy access to property. The room is big and airy with a lovely bathroom.

Cons:

Noise late in the evening on the weekends. The hob was very temperamental I think an electric kettle would be better.

Great property
Pros:

Location is fantastic, right off Princess Street with plenty of eateries and bars in walking distance. Room was gorgeous, lovely decor, really comfy bed.

Easy check in and out!

Cons:

Knocked one mark off because it could really do with bedside cabinets, and there are.no drawers to put clothes, just a small wardrobe. Can't really hang my undies up on hangers lolol

Also, a slight smell from the bathroom, presumably the drains. Its an old building so we thought that might just be normal

A pleasant stay apart from the stairs.
Pros:

The location was good. Convenient for all aspects of tourism.

Cons:

I was aware there were steps to the apartment but didn’t imagine how many over many flights of stairs. 90 steps to our apartment on the top floor. Not for anyone with mobility ailments. My husband and I coped but it wasn’t easy. Having to take quite a few rests between flights.
