Great location

Close to everything! I walked my dog in the park, unfortunately it was a little muddy and tracked mud into the flat. Tried to not do that as much as possible. Loved that Edinburgh and the flat are so dog friendly. I would say the door is difficult to unlock and I smashed my finger trying to open the lock that is so close to the doorframe. A little inconvenient when the internet service provider was there for over 3 hours one day and then we had trouble with the kitchen sink, easy fixes and shouldn't affect future renters.
