Great family apartment...
Pros:

Apartment was just what we needed. Safe and secure. Indoor parking was a bonus and it was close to bus stops.

Cons:

Need to out door stoppers on the doors to keep them open. It felt a little closed off.

Good location, super staff but improvements required.
Pros:

View from lounge/kitchen. Apartment was very cosy.

Cons:

Unfortunately the lounge/kitchen area had a very strong smell of fish. Bedroom 1 wallpaper coming off wall, curtains not properly on track, carpet very poor quality and badly stained. Paintwork needs TLC in both bedroom 1 and en suite. Bedroom 2, fitted wardrobe has a very bad crack and the doors have not been hung properly. As with bedroom 1, carpet horrible. Painting required in this room and the bathroom

Very nice place, highly recommended.
Pros:

Very clean, larger rooms than I'd expected. Well looked after building. Nice views of the Firth of Forth (I think...) from the windows.
Bus terminus across the road, Asda a five minute walk away.
As an example of how well looked after it was, there was a problem with the lift one day that they let me know about by email and it was fixed the same day, 10/10.

Would return each time visiting Edinburgh!
Pros:

Definitely would return one day !!
+ Self check-in and check-out.
+ Lovely location, direct bus to the city centre (keep in mind ca. 30min drive), nice harbour view (if you have upper apartment).
+ Very spacious apartment, we had two bedrooms and one large living room with kitchen, two bathrooms.
+ Good equipment in the kitchen, good enough for preparation of different kind of food. Big refrigerator with freezer, microwave, oven, some small groceries provided (sugar, tea, salt,...). Enough of pots & pans.
+ Reliable internet, works perfectly, fast.
+ Safe location, even in the late evenings.
+ Cafe down at the corner. Great!

Cons:

Only few comments (not negatives in general) which should help others to be prepared for the stay:
- There is not a single EU plug in the whole apartment, only UK plugs. Don't forget to bring your own electrical plug reductions.
- Beds were surprisingly shorter, definitely not like EU standard 2m. We had to sleep diagonally on the bed and I am a common 1.8m tall man.
- One common duvet for a double bed. We would prefer two single duvets.
- Be prepared for heating with electrical converters in each room and they works very unreliable, but it's UK standard.
- Hot water supply is somehow limited for group of four, not able to have a shower one by one in a row, have to wait at least 30-45min after second shower for heating additional water. On the other hand, separate boiler for each apartment in a block of apartment is a benefit as you have your own hot water and can plan showers, having hot water....
- Nearly forgot to mention, all interior doors are self-closing doors. We had never opened/closed doors in a week so many times as here..never ever..

One REALLY negative feedback:
Check-out strictly at 10:00 or 25£ for EACH additional hour. Excuse that it's due to the cleaning "on-time" for new arriving check-in's is a bad excuse as everywhere else it works, only here not. 25£ for each hour is a crazy robbery.

Heerlijk appartement
Pros:

Mooi schoon appartement met alle aanwezige faciliteiten - prima keuken en prima slaapkamers en prima badkamers.
Met parking eenvoudig te bereiken met lift vanuit appartement
Bus 11 direct voor de deur.

Cons:

Eigenlijk geen minpunten, op één minpuntje na: er is geen koffiezetapparaat. Er is wel voldoende oploskoffie en theezakjes aanwezig.

Pros:

De locatie was top, bus voor de deur. Gezellige buurt verderop, goed eten en sfeer.

Cons:

Hoewel persoonlijk was het bed was toch wel aan de harde kant en kraakte flink. Daarnaast zijn de drangdeuren die automatisch achter je dicht gaan vervelend. Deze klappen continu hard dicht en piepen ook wel...Een deur moet gewoon open kunnen blijven als je dat wilt toch?😉

Enjoyable
Pros:

Clean apartment with useful amenities. Enjoyed the views, apartment is a short distance from the airport and city centre

Cons:

There was no outlet for food smells which longer for days. The apartment would benefit from strategically placed air fresheners.

Pros:

Me gustó el departamento y la ubicación era linda pero alejada de todo lo que se puede ver de Edimburgo en una primer visita. Se requiere tomar bus de 30minutos al centro. Fuera de eso todo muy lindo y el personal muy atento. Atte, Barbara

Cons:

Solo como detalle, sería ideal si dejaran individuales o un mantel para utilizar en la mesa del living comedor.
