Easy check in and access. Hosts allowed access before the designated check-in time. Having access to luggage storage was great as we arrived early in the morning.
Can’t think of a thing.

Great location just off the Royal Mile. We walked everywhere !Very well appointed with w/d , dishwasher everything you need in the kitchen. Super clean.
Really lovely ambience - stone, windows.
Just be prepared for lots of steps- up to the landing and then again inside up to the loft.
After all , it is a loft! Not for those w mobility issues. Otherwise, so charming and comfy.

Very light and spacious. Appreciated the pull-out couch - comfortable as a bed.
loft was very tight to move around - especially for a tall person!

Loved the location, accommodations and it was wonderful to have a kitchen and in unit laundry. After our 3 day trip to sky we are coming back to the same accommodation

Location is good if you want to be right on the Royal mile.
The loft has its hot water tank in a cabinet upstairs in the bedroom. All 3 nights of my stay the tank hissed and rattled even though I wasn't using any hot water nor was the heat on. Terrible trying to sleep with the noise.

We had a great stay in Blackfriar lofts. The location was perfect and the loft was beautiful.
The only thing we noticed that could have been improved was that there was no paper towels.

Great apartment in lovely neighborhood!
The water heater made a large noise and walls are very thin. Can hear the neighbors.

The location was excellent — just a 2-minute walk from the Old Town. The apartment was spacious, and the shower and bathroom were very comfortable.
The bed upstairs — it was comfortable, but not very accessible, and the ceiling there was quite low.

The location was great and the space was lovely!
The washer was difficult to use. I could not get it to wash and dry in the same setting.

Great location, central to everything. Someone even stopped by after hours to deliver a wine bottle opener, as the apartment didn't have one! They even included a starter set of coffee, tea, sugar and creamer, and refilled it during their midweek cleaning. Even better, they had dishwasher and laundry detergent for our use! It was fairly quiet, and we only heard extra-loud neighbors a few times..
Could have used more clothing hangers, but I'm certain that had we requested more, they would have hand-delivered them to us!
Thank you for your information!
