L'appartement Riddoch par le National Trust Scotland

Positive: The biggest highlight of Riddoch Apartment is its excellent central location. It is very convenient for exploring Edinburgh, with easy access to major tourist attractions, restaurants, and city highlights. The room and window are relatively small, but they are comfortable and sufficient for a short stay. Overall, the apartment meets the basic needs of travellers who are mainly looking for a convenient place to stay while exploring the city. Negative: The main challenge is the access to the apartment. It is located on the 4th floor and requires carrying luggage up a spiral staircase. The owner did mention the spiral staircase in the description, but there were no pictures showing how narrow and challenging it actually is. For guests travelling with only a backpack, this may not be a concern. However, if you are travelling with larger luggage, it can be quite difficult. In my case, carrying two check-in bags and two carry-on bags up the staircase was extremely challenging it felt like an unexpected workout session. I would strongly suggest the owner add clear pictures of the staircase in the listing, similar to the room photos. This would help future guests understand the access situation and plan accordingly, especially those travelling with heavy luggage or mobility concerns. Overall, the apartment has a fantastic location and provides a comfortable stay, but the staircase access should be made much clearer with the staircase image in the listing.

Clean and nice apartment at a excellent location Positive: Lovely apartment with excellent location. Well equipped (the only lacking is washing machine). The spiral narrow staircase is rather challenging especially with luggage. Negative: The noise from the pub is rather loud.

Positive: Loved the whole apartment, beautifully decorated and in an amazing location. Was worried about the steps but the apartment was worth the steps. Negative: The only small issue was the fan was extremely noisy.

Positive: Location was brilliant. Appartment facilities were excellent with washing up liquid, oil etc available in the kitchen. The bed was really comfortable. Really enjoyed my stay. Negative: Not a dislike but access to the appartment is up a narrowish spiral staircase due to the age of the building. So may be an issue for some.

Positive: La ubicación Negative: Las escaleras de caracol, muy incómodas para llevar maletas del primer y último día, por lo demás, muy bien
