Goed verblijf dichtbij het centrum
Pros:

De douche! de airco in de kamer hadden we echt wel nodig! Super! Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.

Cons:

De locatie was prima, alleen vond ik het spijtig dat er constant vuilbakken voor de deur staan. dat geeft echt geen nette mooie indruk. De bedden (1.40 was iets te nipt qua breedte en té kort voor ons (we zijn wel groot,, 1.70 en 1.94). Spijtig dat er in de keuken bv geen klein potje olie, (wel peper en zout) was om te koken. Klein detail.

BRAID Apartments met our expectations and would stay again
Pros:

Staff went out of there way to help, we were far enough away from the main street for it to be quite and close enough that it was accessible to buses and shops and restaurants.

A fabulous stay at Braid Apartments
Pros:

Braid Apartments was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They pre-check in and check in process was simple and the communication was excellent - they even accommodated my request for an early check-in. The apartments themselves were clean, modern, spacious and welcoming. There was a beautiful welcome basket with juice, croissants, water etc on arrival and all toiletries were supplied. The location was perfect and accessible for walking to all the major Edinburgh hotspots. All in all there is nothing I could fault and we will definitely be back.
