Great location

For a two or three night stay in Edinburgh the apartment was perfect for a couple. It’s directly on the Royal Mile so access to the castle, Holyroodhouse and St Giles Cathedral was very convenient. We stayed over the summer solstice so the evenings were long and somewhat raucous. Morning came early! The apt was well-appointed although we didn’t cook in. Dining table a bit wobbly and lounge seating could be updated for comfort. Would recommend.

For what we are paying, we are not happy. Location is 10 out of 10. Communication is very poor, 3 days to get an answer regarding payment in May. The instructions were never carried out. I phoned from Glasgow the day we were supposed to arrive to find out if we had accommodation or not. I had emailed the day before regarding checking in procedures. This email was never answered. Thank goodness we met Liam, the maintenance man coming out the door when we arrived or we never would have got in. Internet instructions on mantle are all incorrect. Only way I was able to connect was by scanning QR code on bottom of router. Wifi quit after 4 days. I emailed Altido and never got a response. TV does not work needs some kind of code. Table is loose and needs repair. Refrigerator flops around. Lamp base loose. Taps loose in bathroom. Clock needs a battery. Minor repairs need serious attention.I will not use Altido again.
