Lovely little studio, right in the centre. Has everything you need for a short stay. The little study room was perfect to get some work done.

The entrance really lets this place down, and it’s not really the companies fault so I feel bad leaving negative feedback. I felt really uncomfortable coming and going in the evening as a lone female with a group of homeless people camping on the doorstep, openly doing drugs.

Clean, tidy and well organised apartment with everything needed in the kitchen. Excellent New Town location, with restaurants, buses and the tram right on the doorstep.

The downside was no real view, as both sides face buildings, and it could be noisy at quieter times. Restaurant bins outside the main entrance were also a source of noise.

Nicely furnished

Access down an alleyway

• The location was excellent. We didn’t need to use public transport at all, and there were plenty of restaurants nearby. • The apartment was well equipped! I especially appreciated the smart TV with Netflix, the large bathroom, and the spacious closet (I could fit all my clothes and even store large luggage). :)))) • Tastefully decorated.

• Be aware of an additional safety deposit outside of Booking.com. You either need to pay the “Damage Waiver” of £33.17 or a “Safety Deposit” of £250. You must choose one otherwise, you won’t receive the check-in information. I chose the “Safety Deposit,” and it ended up being a very inconvenient and stressful experience for me. After charging the £250 safety deposit, I saw in my bank account that they tried to charge me again one day before leaving, and then again on the day I was leaving (fortunately, it was blocked as an unauthorized payment). On the day of checkout, I could not access the checkout information in their JOIVY system, and after noticing those additional charge attempts, it caused me a lot of stress. Lastly, I did not receive my “Safety Deposit” back on time. First they claimed I would get it within 2 days after checkout. But I received it only after multiple messages, continuous waiting, and finally 16 days after checkout. Unfortunately, by that time I was already out of the UK, so now I have the refunded money in a currency I can’t spend anymore. • Be aware of narrow stairs and no elevator — not a big issue for me. • Noise from the street — the street is moderately busy with restaurants and bars, and every night there would be some random person shouting things. But it was the Halloween season, so I guess it added to the spookiness. Not a big issue. • Our apartment had a broken wooden floorboard (see picture). Not a huge issue. • Getting there was a little hassle — it is not “Rose Street” but “Rose Street South Lane,” so we tried to enter through the wrong door. We were not the only ones confused; we met another couple there at the same time, equally confused. “Rose Street South Lane” is a tiny, more hidden street with some trash bins. • Could be slightly cleaner. There was a little trash in the closet. The pillows shed feathers, but nothing too bad. Still 8/10 for cleanliness. 6/10 overall. :)
