beautiful apartment extra touch perfect location
The apartment was beautiful. it was clean, decorated lovely, and functional. bathrobes provided were an extra nice touch. the location was just perfect. It was quiet, tucked away by the holyrood house gardens. i went to breakfast about a quarter of a mile away.
sleep quality was honestly terrible. there is no soundproofing to the outside, and the double gate type door doesn't close properly. it was left open all night, slamming shut every few minutes with the wind. this.
