Great apartment, in a good location for the Edinburgh Showground, very comfy beds!!!

8.0

Great location, easy parking, very quiet & perfectly suited for our trip. Beds & pillows were very comfortable, good quality linens & plenty of space in the apartment. Bedrooms had plenty of storage space with lots of hangers & full length mirrors. Blinds in the bedroom windows gave great privacy & shower was okay.

− In need of some modernisation, damaged laminate flooring in a few areas, nowhere to hang your wet towels after showering & we couldn't find an airer so we didn't have anywhere to hang our washing. No cork screw in the kitchen. TV was small & took forever to change channels & bit of a nightmare to use. Didn't like having to put toiletries on the pipework box near the floor in the bathroom as there was no shelf around the sink. We didn't have any hot water from either the kitchen or bathroom taps for the whole 5 day stay, I had to boil a kettle to wash dishes as it wasn't worth using the dishwasher. Be aware Sat Nav takes you to the golf club & not to the parking area at the front of the building, it took over an hour travelling around the other side of Livingston to find the right way in which was a total faff. In the end we just parked in the golf club every night as it was far easier to get to.

We had everything what we needed.Great place. Well recomended.

Amazing property, terrible communication.

7.0

The property was super clean, great calm location, with really nice furniture and spacious rooms. The property itself was so nice.

− The only problems we had was the very last minute communication from sending the payment link when we were on the way, and to do the payment I needed to stop the car. Then to receive the digital keys I needed to find a service, stop the car, and send a message. Then, when I was back on the motorway I received another message that required me to do something. So, needed to stop at another service and so on and so forth. For the check-out, we received the checklist when we had already left the place so we needed to drive back to the apartment to get everything checked based on the checklist.

While property contact was patient and helpful, property is adequate but not recommended - 2 stars.

Property point of contact was patient and somewhat responsive. The multiple layers of apps and contact mechanisms made her job as difficult as mine. Apartment was spotlessly clean.

− Making contact and getting in was complicated; requires downloading multiple apps and opening accounts/passwords within each to get in and access amenities. Property is difficult to find - the facility is NOT located at the address given by rental car GPS or phone. All told, it took 5 hours to figure out how to get in. If you're not tech savvy, don't want to open an on-line account to work the heating, or don't live via your phone, this place isn't for you. No hardcopy info on how to operate heat, appliances, locks, etc. Gave up trying to use the washer/dryer. There are a few "Dymo" labels on selected appliances but instructions are not sufficient. Largest complaint is lack of hot water - heater only works from 07:00 to 08:00 - button on wall turns the cold water lukewarm after a 15-min cycle - repeated pushes make the water warm at best (so, 30-45 mins to get hot water after 08:00) - water never hot enough to remove butter from a knife, even with soap. No way to turn heating on or off. Two pieces of loose veneer on kitchen floor. Toilet seat and commode are loose and wobble or slide around. Limited horizontal space in bathroom - toiletries, toothbrush, etc. need to perch on windowsills, edge of bath, etc. Batteries in the TV remote were flat. Bulb in bedside lamp broken. Pillowcase in main bedroom stained. No access to live local broadcast TV for weather, news, etc. (Fire TV only). Shower geyser flow is low and temperature control finicky - never had a shower at a comfortable temperature. All but two interior doors need wedges to keep them open and walking through them makes the wedges come loose (wedges are too small and floors flex). I've stayed in other apartments in this property that were better.

The complete rest I really needed, quiet, beautiful surroundings,watching squirrels & rabbits play.

Appartement confortable , très bien pour 4. Il est situé à côté du golf dans lequel on peut se promener. Le quartier est très joli. Il y a un bowling juste à côté ! Pouvoir se garer facilement est aussi très appréciable.
