Funcionários se existe não vimos, artigos de higiene poucos ou nenhuns, as camas muito moles, artigos de cozinha em falta, toalha de mesa, sacos do lixo...

Fabulous, comfortable apartment in a great location. On the Forth waterfront, easy walking to bars and to Ocean Terminal, and with great bus and tram links to the city. Secure parking for a car we didn't need to use. We loved it.

Overall we did have an enjoyable stay in the apartment and would recommend to others
Pros:

We liked the location and how close some of the restaurants and groceries were . The apartment was spacious and clean .

Cons:

The carpeting in the bedrooms . Also there was no fans or air conditioning. Keeping the windows open the whole night was not very comfortable due to the insects and noise from outside . I think adding some door stops to keep the bed room and living room doors open would help in making it less stuffy.

Meine Lieblingsunterkunft in Edinburgh
Pros:

Ich bereits das 2. Mal in der Unterkunft, wir hatten diesmal fast eine Penthousewohnung mit Blick auf die Britannia, eine Menge Platz für alle Personen, ich schätze die ruhige Lage und mit der Buslinie 11 ist man in nicht mal 30 Minuten in der Innenstadt, auch ist es möglich mit den Linienbus 17 ab Station Fishmarket Square (5 Min. Fußweg) für wenig Geld in 45 Min direkt zum Flughafen zu fahren, mit 1x Umsteigen auch ohne Fußweg, mit der eigenen kostenlosen Tiefgarage ist die Unterkunft natürlich auch für PKW Fahrer optimal

Comfortable beds, and
Pros:

The apartment was very comfortable

Cons:

The doors into the rooms needed stoppers, they were self closing and banged if you didn’t hold them when they closed, which is kind of annoying when you are in and out

Free parking. Spacious. Separate bathrooms with the bedrooms. Pricey.
Pros:

The place is perfect if you need your space, separate bathroom with the bedroom, and also want to be able to either have breakfast at "home" in the morning or even make a dinner (we did not do this, but you could). The showers were good. The big bonus was the washing machine (combination machine with built-in dryer). The location is perfect. Uber or Bolt are affordable to bring you into main street Edinburgh for your day trips. But we had a car with us for our onward journey through the highlands after this, so the free parking was an absolute plus! Check-in was easy. Stayed here before, so it definitely is one of the go-to places for me now.

Cons:

Even for all the positive notes, I still think the price is a bit high.

Perfekte Unterkunft
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage! Endhaltestelle des Bus Nr 11 in 3 Minuten/der Tram Airport - Newhaven mit Endhaltestelle Newhaven in 10 Minuten zu Fuss. Blue Harbour Cafe direkt gegenüber (ideal zum Frühstücken), Restaurants ( Pier Place) in 10 Minuten zu Fuss. Super Ausstattung - 2 Bäder, grosszügige Schafzimmer. Genügend Buchsen ( auch C2 für direktes Laden des Smartphones vorhanden. Gute Kommunikation zum Ein- und Auschecken. Wir ( 3 Erwachsene) haben den Aufenthalt genossen.

Cons:

Der Checkin über eine SafeKey Box verlief problemlos. Aber fie Checkin Daten erhielten wir erst am Tag der Abreise und kurz vor dem Abflug. Wir hätten es begrüsst, die Daten gleich nach dem Hinterlegen eines Deposits ( 100 Pfund, wird erstrattet) und Übersendung einer Kopie des Reisepasses ( beides wird bei anderen gebuchten Unterkündten in Schottland nicht vrrlangr) zz erhalten, spätestens jedoch 2-3 Tage bir d3m Checkin
.

Pros:

Très bel appartement avec tout le nécessaire.
Très bonne literie, des pièces spacieuses et une belle vue depuis le 4ème étage.
L'arrêt de bus à quelques dizaines de mètres est très pratique pour se rendre au centre d'Édimbourg.

Pros:

The rooms were clean. The shower worked perfectly. They had more rooms than I needed.

Cons:

They do a pretty good job at explaining how to get your key and how to drop off your key when you check out, but I had to ask a gardener how to get into the building. It may be common in the UK, but I wasn't familiar with the entrance being on a different wall than the main key pad.
