Perfect location for an unhappy occasion
This was the perfect place for our group of 8 on the unhappy occasion of a family funeral. The family grew up just one street over, were my in-laws spent over 60 years of their lives together before moving away to the west coast 4 years ago. The neighborhood brought back all the nostalia for my husband and his siblings and especially my mother-in-law. It was great walking through the neighborhood and visiting some of the same shops and restaurants they had visited as children & teens. The flat itself was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. I couldn't believe how spacious it was, it slept all 8 of us comfortably with the 2 pull-out/trundle beds and having 2 showers made getting ready for the funeral in the morning very easy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to have a couple family meals. Overnight street parking right in front was free from 530pm to 830am, Free daytime parking at the hosts warehouse was available within a short walk. I was weary at first as this was our first time using a VRBO rental and there was a couple of negative reviews but after reading the negatives, I realized that it was most likely people who are unfamiliar with the area and/or Scotland in general because the complaints were about things I find to be pretty standard in Scotland (as an American who has visited often due to visiting family). shower controls are different, older buildings are not always handicap accesible, the city can be noisy and there is usually graffiti.
