More golden than blue!

All good; a few minor things but overall it was as expected. Having a ready available kitchen was good and the heating was adequate for late March weather. Access was good, just a short walk from the bus stops on the Glasgow road.

Perfect location, perfect stay

We had a great stay here. It's in a good location with a bust stop just round the corner. There's also a 24hr Mcdonalds and a greggs a few minutes awy, which was perfect for my teenage daughter. The flat has eveything you'd need. Ironing boars and iron came in useful. There's plenty of space, it's clean and tidy, with quirky decor that's a bit Banksyesque. Loved it. Thank you

The building outside was lovely and the flat was clean. The area is peaceful and beautiful and quick walking distance to buses giving good access to Murrayfield and Edinburgh centre. There are 3 supermarkets close by and restaurants a d fast food. The building inside is a bit older and tired with some rust stains in the bathroom, but it was clean and fairly comfortable. If you are a family it offers some space and a decent price for Edinburgh.
