3 Lynedoch Place

"The bed is really comfortable and the apartment is in a good location for getting around the city. However there were a couple of small issues namely a couple of lights not working and the double cupboard that acts as a wardrobe was full of cleaning equipment leaving very little room for hanging clothes unless squeezing them in above a floor mop and bucket."

"We are already planning to return. The apartment suits us perfectly. The only issue we had was the standard of cleaning. The fridge and cooker had crumbs in them. Some areas were dusty and had not been touch for a long time e.g. skirting boards."

"Location excellent, it’s a 5 minute walk to princess street. Parking is a wee bit tight, but ok for a Golf or A3. Accommodation is very good, nice Georgian lounge, good sized bedroom and comfortable bed. Flat also nice and warm on chilly evenings. Wi-Fi connection is good. Kitchen has all mod cons, but didn’t have a can opener and cooking utensils were a bit mixed. Room itself is a bit chilly, suspect that the radiator needs vented. Bathroom has a power shower which worked well and there was plenty of hot water. Overall good flat, one or two things could do with a refresh, but overall hard to find better in Edinburgh."

"Comfortable bed and pillows. Location excellent for all our needs. Bath was dirty, full of hair. Had to go to shops to buy cleaning products before using it. Kitchen utensils were quite basic compared to other places we have stayed. Description of "Welcome Pack" inaccurate- tea and coffee were left overs, opened packs but grateful for fresh milk. Some things needed attention eg broken bathroom tap. Despite these negatives we still fully enjoyed our stay due to space, comfort and location."

"The apartment was well heated and comfortable. The modern kitchen is well equipped. Many of the issues highlighted by previous visitors in their reviews seem to have been addressed, although there are indeed worrying cracks in the sitting room ceiling, one of the lampshades in the bedroom had holes in it, and the duvet filling is exposed. There were instructions to put the rubbish bag in a bin on the opposite side of Lynedoch Place Lane at the back of the property. This bin did not seem to exist. I did not receive the keysafe code in advance and had to phone to obtain this. Overall, I enjoyed my stay."

"Took our Jack Russell who liked the outside space. Managed to get our Skoda Superb estate in the space provided- was a bit tight. Would come back. Was asked to take rubbish out to black big bins across the road out back - unfortunately they were not there."

"We had a better deal for that flat with booking.com but as we were insecure about the parking space we called you to make sure, our car would fit and booked directly with you. So, the car would have fit into the space but not through the doors. And it isn't fun to find a parking space in Edinburgh for a car spontaneous and get all your stuff into a flat carrying it through the town. So, - never again! The flat is located well. You can reach everything by foot. The bed was comfortable. For us, the traffic was quiet loud sometimes. The living room seemed as it has not been cleaned up for weeks.The waste had to be put into big black bin across the street which were gone the second day, so we had to look where to but our rubbish.The equipment in the kitchen was a mess. The rubber seal of the washing machine was mouldy, the two toasters, the kettle and the cook ware were unappetizing so we did not use them. The fridge hasn't been cleaned as well. Using the money we spent on this week the kitchen could be made much more comfortable again."

"The property is in great need for redecoration.Ceiling paint coming away,plaster coming off walls .A tired property which appears to lack any investment to update.The bathroom smelt and water took an eternity to drain away.The conservatory was leaking badly onto laminate floor.Reported to the cleaning company as highlighted but they advised nothing they could do but tell the owner.The property was very noisy due to renovation of large building to the right.The noise started from 8am and went on till 5.This was also exacerbatedby work goingon with above flat replacing dou ble glazing.Shared entrance so door open all day whilst juggling past enormous sash windows and DG equipment. The gentleman neighbour did knock to advise of storing the windows in the entrance but we had little option asnot our property.When contacting company they advised no building work when they cleaned the property.We have photographs of all our concerns but expect little response back. Due to the position of this property a small investment would bring the standard of this property up whilst maintaining the period style of the property.We consider this is a very expensive apartment will not be back again.Stayed in much better in Edinburgh even during August."

"I had intended to travel up from E.Sussex . The sympathetic young man called me back to say that the owner wasn’t prepared to offer me alternative dates. Worse still, unwilling to reimburse the £700 I’d paid !! I was very disappointed."

"There is food left in the cupboards from previous holiday makers and crumbs of food in the oven and grill tray , which makes me wonder if anything else is cleaned properly . Also a vermin alarm is plugged in the kitchen , what's that all about , I dread to think. The only good thing I can say about it is the bed was clean also the towels and it's location to the centre . What is charged for high season for this place is disgusting . I would never recommend to anyone."

"It is also quite secure. The sofas and bed were comfortable, however, the quilt cover had blue stains on it and all the surfaces were dusty. I had to wash a white T-shirt after putting it down. Gave everything a wipe-over after that. More than adequate cutlery and crockery for my stay, as well as cleaning materials, toilet paper, sanitary products and some toiletries. As the sternly worded welcome email stated I must replace anything I used since I'd "paid for self-catering", I'd brought my own in any case. There was an open, used bottle of salad cream in the fridge, one of peanut butter, and open packets of cereals in the kitchen cupboards, and a half-eaten tub of ice cream in the freezer. Perhaps they belong to the owner if they stay there sometimes? The bathroom cupboard also had various used toiletries in it. For some reason, you seem to be expected to eat a lot of toast. One 4 slice, and one 2-slice toaster. The 2 slice could do with a good clean, and the 4 slice doesn't work very well. The shower had good pressure, warming up quickly and maintaining a good temperature, but the hot water tap on the sink took forever to get warm. (No one's fault, of course, just plumbing). The cold water tap in the kitchen never ran cold, so I'd advise anyone staying to put a jug of water in the fridge. There are a good amount of plug sockets throughout, so using and charging devices was no issue. The sunroom is lovely, and probably a great place to sit in the cooler months, as it got very warm, very quickly. It doesn't have any opening windows. All in all, proximity to the city centre amenities outweigh any small issues, and the apartment is comfortable and has what you need."

"Parking very tight to get a big car in. However I would have liked more instructions on how to use the applicances especially the washing machine, found the numbers very confusing as nothing to say what they related to. Tv was also a problem as I have never used freeview."

"I felt like the whole place needed the décor freshening up. New tiles to the bathroom or at least the replacement of discoloured grout. Paintwork is starting to look old. This place could be outstanding if it was shown some love and attention. I would stay again but 3 nights was long enough."

"..parking secure"

"Flat warm, comfortable and well-appointed and a great location to explore Edinburgh on foot. Close to Princes Street for Old and New Towns and walkable to Stockbridge and Dean Village, both worth a visit. Minor niggles were radiator in kitchen not working (may need bleeding), only one small chopping board and bent pan support on the gas hob. But would certainly recommend."

"It was very clean and well equipped. The bed and pillows were comfortable and appeared to be quite new so may have been replaced since the previous negative comments. It is easy to walk to many places of interest in the city from the apartment, We particularly enjoyed Stockbridge with its independent shops, cafes and Sunday market. There is a bus stop nearby, the buses are easy to use as you can pay contactless and the Lothian Buses app gives lots of useful information."

"The sofa covers were stained and shabby looking. They were the same stains that were present when I stayed over two years ago. The tele kept losing signal and to be returned every 30 minutes or so. Under the coffee table dog chews but the visitor book said no one had stayed there for 6 months prior to our visit. The cooker has melted cheese in the bottom, so I decided against using it in that condition. The location is superb but the flat was not as clean and fresh as you would like, I feel this was especially important during the covid epidemic! So overall I'm disappointed especially as the covid delayed the holiday and it was looked forward to for so long. I won't rebook this place a 3rd time as I feel the owners have no interest in its condition and just want to rent it regardless."

"Apartment had some minor maintenance issues which are being addressed,but apart from that was perfect."

" Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. It would be easy to be picky as there are a few DIY jobs that need doing and some things that need replacing but none of it impacted on our stay. There is private secure car parking at the back. This is a little tight but we have a BMW X3 which went in ok. The apartment was spotlessly clean thanks to the Edinburgh Cleaning & Concierge Company who look after the apartment. A few tips - take a bottle opener, can opener, salt and pepper grinders/shakers, and pillows as theirs are a bit thin. There is good internet (password on the hub) and you are provided with 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel each for the week which may not be enough. Spare keys are in the kitchen. Key collection details are sent to you by EC&C which was a problem as forgot to supply them with our email address. This resulted in a delay in getting into the property. But we had a fantastic stay and would definitely come here again. It represented great value for money when compared to other Edinburgh properties. "

" Great size apt for 2 people. Decor bit tired. Sofas need replaced and new pillows for bed as we had to purchase 2 for a good sleep. Otherwise good place to stay. "

" Sofas were in need of new seat cushions and were stained in parts. Kitchen equipment was poor, badly worn frying pans with surfaces peeling off, inadequate knives, no bottle opener, no can opener, no tea strainer. And the "welcome" pack, advertised as containing special all butter shortbread........some very musty and stale smelling shortbread fingers, some of them broken, in a glass jar; equally musty smelling teabags and stale smelling clumped powdered coffee. Even in normal times this would have been insulting, but in a pandemic, altogether inappropriate to offer potentially contaminated goods. No credit to the owners I'm afraid, but thanks to the concierge for the cleanliness of the property. "

"Art galleries, museums and some attractions are all within walking distance. Unique to find such a flat in central Edinburgh that provides comfort, homely feel, parking and is dog friendly."

" The flat is looking a little tired. Front garden path a bit weedy and general organic debris building up. Back garden could do with a spruce up too. "

"Great location - so much is easily within walking distance 2. Superb living room 3. Concierge very good in addressing minor issues 4. Bed room comfortable 5. Facilities overall fine ( but see comments) 5. Private parking major advantage in such a central area."

" !!! Lynedoch Place, in parts, needed attention. The bath was so dusty we thought it was scum. The cutlery and crockery had to be washed as they had food and stains on them and in the cutlery draw there were crumbs of food!!!! Also the properties back door Yale lock was broken!!! If we exited the house via the back way and inadvertently shut the door you had walk around via the street to enter via the front!!!! Also if you shut this door without any keys whatsoever Edinburgh Cleaning Concierge charge f£30 for the privilege of letting you back into a property you have paid for and they only provide one set of keys!!!! UNACCEPTABLE. Under your terms and conditions even though I will say publish this review I anticipate you will not!!!! Shame on You . "

" Many floor boards squeak alot and the bed was uncomfortable, other wise a very nice apartment. "

"This apartment is situated approximately 6 minutes walk from the west end of Princes street. There are so many places to eat nearby, just a couple of minutes walk. The apartment was warm (we went in January) and the decor in keeping with the Victorian style in that area. The kitchen was modern and well equipped, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Early evening we experienced a little noise (traffic, sirens, people) but this died down later and the bedroom is at the back so quitter anyway. We ..."

" We stayed here 21st-28th December & absolutely loved the apartment! When we arrived the heating was on so it was a lovely warm greeting. The lounge is huge yet cosy & comfortable, the bed was comfortable & the kitchen well equipped. The location....perfect! A 5 minute walk to Princes Street & 20 minute walk to the castle entrance. There is a parking space at the rear of the property which advises ‘suitable for a small car’ - we have a VW Passat Estate & apart from careful manoeuvring to get through the gate posts, the area to park is really spacious. The price to stay over the Christmas period was unbelievable, such a bargain! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again & will definitely recommend to friends. "

" The cottage is well equipped with everything you need, the photos also do not do the place justice! The apartment itself was lovely and cosy, the bed was very comfortable. Everything was explained to us before arriving. We will definitely return!! "

" It's very clean and welcoming. The parking space was good enough to fit Mazda CX5 without major problems. Minutes walk from Dean Village and Princess Street Gardens. It has everything you might need from Netflix to a good BT broadband. Comfortable bed and actually not noisy at all for the location. "

" The apartment is one mile from the bust station and very easy to get to. There are buses 5 minutes from the apartment making it easy to go places if you do not want to walk. Apartment very comfortable and there are lots of places to eat near buy. A super store is easy to get to using the No 41 bus which is really handy if you wish to cook in the flat. "

" Booked up for next year already . "

" This was a major selling point on this property. We were able to leave the car, and walk everywhere whilst in Edinburgh. The fridge needed cleaning on our arrival, but apart from that everything else was great. It was a little bit like the Tardis. It looks small from outside, but is extremely spacious inside. It had all the amenities we required, and we were very comfortable there. We found the front door lock extremely stiff, however a quick squirt of WD40 on the lock released the dirt and grime, and worked much better afterwards. "

" The one thing which I would suggest is that there should be a second set of keys for the property which would allow a bit more freedom for going out, not necessarily both people together and at the same time. Otherwise we’ll look forward to visiting again. "

" Extremely central for everything , and the buses were excellent for sights out of walking range. Don't miss the Royal Yacht in Leith and have lunch or afternoon tea onboard - a perfect relaxing day out. The only problem was that the previous occupant had taken the keys to the back door and the parking space , so we could not park initially. But the letting agent was excellent and came round and had keys cut for us. Overall a very enjoyable holiday "

" The apartment is perfect for a city break. Only 5 mins walk to princes street. Lovely big apartment everything you need. Just be careful if bringing your car as it's quite a tight parking spot. We only have a small car so we were fine. Lots of places to eat only a short walk away. "

" Thanks for supplying tea, sugar, coffee, milk, biscuits, loo rolls, washing up liquid, it was all very thoughtful and definitely useful. "

" It is so handy to the town and someone that can not walk to far we discovered that you can get a bus at the back of the house into Princess Street. The apartment is only 1 mile from the bust station. As we have free bus passes We always use the bus to get to Edinburgh as there is so much you can do in the city that does not need a car. "

" Great location - five minutes from Princess Street and the gorgeous Dean Village. We had a superb winter break - the flat has real character - and ideal for a visit to our capital city and all its attractions. Our one reservation was the parking (if you have a large car MPV etc) owner does warn you of this - but just be extra careful. "

" Bed was comfy, the toaster was a bit erratic but you can’t have it all! Would go again. "

"3 Lynedoch Place is a beautiful property but I had a few problems : Parking is extremely awkward and I would certainly not return with my car (I managed to catch my wing mirror on the gate and had to have it replaced)"

"5 min to princess street and a bus on the opposite direction takes you to the sainsburys store which if walking a mile away. If taking the car the flat has a secluded place for parking. Flat very comfortable."

"3 Lynedoch Place is a beautiful property but I had a few problems :"

"The cottage was lovely warm and clean . We think the kitchen needs a few extras .some mugs would be a good addition .some better cooking utensils they were very tired .A micro bowel there was nothing to use in the microwave . we had a problem with the bath / shower / toilet which was delt with as was humanly possible .It as been addressed with between us and the owner satisfactory ."

"Property needs a hairdryer for the ladies, but everything else was great just the greatest location for exploring Edinburgh and one of the stunning properties we have stayed in"

"The cottage was lovely warm and clean ."

"Great location - five minutes from Princess Street and the gorgeous Dean Village."

"It is also excellent value for money and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Scotland`s capital city."

"Very good dog friendly apartment.Great local bars and cafes. Walk from Dean Village to Leith beside Waters of Leith through Stockbridge is great."

"There was no issue with parking our car in the garden and it was great having a garden to take our dog into in the morning. Super close to absolutely everything. We will stay again!"
