Drumdryan

The heating system is in the small bedroom, and it gets noisy at night when it's cold outside or someone is using the bathroom's hot water. Bring earplugs if you're going to sleep in there. Otherwise, the apartment is great for the price and location. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, and the old town is within walking distance. It has three rooms with six sleeping places, enough for five adults and one child, plus a separate fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom and even a terrace. I couldn't find a better price for this location in Edinburgh.

Joe, the owner, was really helpful, and the apartment was spotless with plenty of space for two couples. The location and size were both good. Parking was the usual city challenge, which we expected. We had a great stay and would happily book again.

The house was clean, welcoming, and affordable, and the owner was kind, hospitable, and a lot of fun. I'd definitely come back. Congratulations to Alex and Costantine Barbu.

I've been waiting more than a month for my money back, with no refund and no reply despite sending numerous emails. They took payment in advance, then didn't return it even though the cancellation was free of charge. Very disappointing.
