This apartment is centrally situated and very close to the tourist heart of Edinburgh. It is well finished and decorated and the large bed very comfortable. However it is on the ground floor abutting the pavement at the junction of Cowgate and the Grassmarket and there is no soundproofing on the windows. It is thus VERY noisy and the revelry outside went on until 4AM making it impossible to sleep. The Kitchen is excellent but there is no table to eat at.
Property Manager Response (10 Nov 2011):
Hello Tony,
Thank you for the feedback you provided, and we agree the apartment is perfect to explore Edinburgh.
This is a new apartment and we had not been advised of noice being a problem so thank you for bringing it to my attention. I understand that the weekend you stayed in the apartment was 'freshers' week for all the new Edinburgh University students so would have been very busy. We have however instructed the installation of soundproof secondary glazing into the apartment now so that those not involved in the party can still enjoy their stay.
Thank you again for your feedback, Amanda
