Property Title • Aug 22 - Aug 25, 2025
Hi Mikhail, Thank you for your booking. I'm looking forward to hosting you 😊 I've put quite a bit of effort into making my place nice for AirBnB so please look after it 🙏🏼 The earliest check in is 3pm. If you could let me know when you plan to check in that would be great. In exceptional circumstances I can sometimes offer early checkin. Here's some information that will help you get around the flat. Most of these are straightforward, the general rule of thumb is that I would expect you to treat my flat as you would your own: take the shoes off when in the flat, don’t smoke inside the flat, avoid playing loud music after 10pm etc... Note I live in the place most of the time, so it will have some of my belongings in, but there is wardrobe space in both rooms. 🚪Doors There is a lockbox, details will be provided prior to your stay. Please don't forgot to return them to the key safe at the end of your stay! 🔑 🌐 WiFi The WiFi network is called SmokeyWhiskey and the password is peatmonster1 🚘 Parking There is paid parking in a private card park on Carlton Road, right next to my flat. Let me know in advance if you want to make use of this so I can send you full details. You will be fully reimbursed for the parking. But ask about where to park. 🌡Heating You can control the heating using the Hive thermostat which is in the living room on the wall. There is a boost button on the top of it, or you can turn the dial. 🎵 Music There are Sonos speakers in the kitchen. Connect to the WiFi and cast from Spotify or Apply music to "Kitchen". ☕️ Coffee & Food Coffee, tea, as well as mugs, can be found in the cupboards in the kitchen. Please feel free to make use of the spices and condiments. Any alcohol in the fridge is fair game 🍸 🪣 Appliances In the kitchen, you have an oven, stove, microwave, fridge, dishwasher & toaster, which are all easy to use. 📽 TV There is a Samsung Smart TV with Netflix & Prime Video - use the remote on the coffee table. Let me know if you need any help. 🚮 Waste and Recycling: The black bin in the kitchen is refuse, the other one is recycling. Glass should not be put in the recycling - leave that separately. If you need to take rubbish out then the bins are on Carlton Road, just before the big arch (turn right and right again when you come out the building). 🐶🐱 Pets Please let me know if you wish to bring a pet. Pets are not allowed to be on the sofa or the beds, there will be additional cleaning charges for pets hairs on bed linen or the soft furnishings. 📍The full address is Flat 11, 35 Leith Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3AT. The flat is on the 3rd floor. And don't be confused about the first door you come to which says "11 & 12" - it's not locked, go straight through and you'll see the entrance to flat 11. 🧡 Finally, I've only been doing AirBnB for a few months and I've put quite a bit of effort into making the place nice for you. 5* Reviews really count for getting bookings so if there's anything wrong, or even the tiniest thing that would make the stay better then please do let me know, I'm here to help 😊
May 01, 2025 03:45 PMHi Mark! Thank you for the message! We’ll be driving from York
May 03, 2025 04:32 PMSo, will arrive 4pm approximately
May 03, 2025 04:32 PMWe’ll need to park, please instruct us :)
May 03, 2025 04:33 PMThe rest of the instructions are understood and respected.
May 03, 2025 04:34 PMRegards, Mikhail
May 03, 2025 04:34 PMPerfect ✨ Of course, There is a little private car park behind the flat which is £16 for 24 hours. See Calton Road Parking ( https://goo.gl/maps/NQNrDHwZCMKtdP7P8 ) in Google Maps. You pay through the tap2park.co.uk website. Then I will reimburse you through airbnb for your parking costs. (I've never had issues leaving my car in this car park for extended periods, but some guests opt for the Q-Park multistorey, which costs £24 per day. You're welcome to park there instead and pay the difference beyond the £16 parking reimbursement I provide). Let me know if you have any questions!

May 22, 2025 09:46 AMSo regarding checkin for tomorrow - there is a lockbox on the wooden doorframe of 35 Leith Street - it is the very top one. The code is 2988. The key can be a bit of a fiddle - but it does work, promise 🙏 you basically have to pull the key half out of the lock for it to turn, the key turns to the right (clockwise)... The entrance to the building is next to a restaurant called Maki & Ramen. Flat 11 is on the 3rd floor (don't be confused by the internal door which says 11 & 12 that appears to have a lock on it - it doesn't). Please arrive after the 3pm checkin time unless we have agreed otherwise. Let me know if you have any issues 😊 P.S you should also get this info on the day of checkin through the airbnb app with photos to help guide you. I'm just putting it here so you've got the code (2988) in two places 👍🏼
Aug 21, 2025 08:00 AM¡Hola, Mark! Gracias por repetir todas las instrucciones. Todo está claro. El único problema es que no pude identificar el estacionamiento adecuado. El más obvio está en la foto adjunta, pero parece una entrada al centro comercial. Saludos, Mikhail
Aug 21, 2025 10:16 AMHi! I will send one 😊
Aug 21, 2025 10:17 AMIt is this one
Aug 21, 2025 10:18 AM¡Gracias! Lo he visto, pero decidí que es demasiado pequeño para dar una esperanza de encontrar un lugar :). De acuerdo, lo intentaremos primero, ¡gracias!
Aug 21, 2025 10:26 AMNo problem at all! I understand the concern about finding a space. In my experience, I've never seen the Calton Road car park completely full, but if you do have any issues finding a spot there, there are other options available. There's the Q-Park multistorey nearby, and also parking available at the shopping centre directly opposite the apartment. Don't worry - if for any reason you can't find a space in the recommended car park, I'll cover the cost of any alternative parking you need to use.😊🙏🏽
Aug 21, 2025 06:57 PM¡Gracias, Mark! Llegaremos tarde por la noche, así que todo debería estar bien :)
Aug 22, 2025 08:19 AMPerfect. Thanks for letting me know ✨
Aug 22, 2025 08:20 AMI know you've just checked in, but just a quick note to say that when you do checkout I need you to put the keys back in the lockbox where you found them. It's the very top one and the code is 2988. Thanks! 🙏🏼😊
Aug 22, 2025 05:00 PM¡Claro que lo haremos! Llegaremos entre las 9 y las 10 de la noche, por cierto :).
Aug 22, 2025 05:02 PMHicimos el check-in, estacionamos correctamente en el lugar recomendado. El piso es genial, ¡muchas gracias! Las llaves ya están en la caja :), gracias por el segundo juego. ¡La botella de bienvenida en el refrigerador es absolutamente apreciada! Saludos, Mikhail y Julia.
Aug 22, 2025 08:11 PMSo glad to hear that ✨️ Enjoy your stay! I am here for anything you need 😊🙏
Aug 22, 2025 08:12 PMHi Mikhail, hope you've settled in nicely. Let me know if you need anything or if anything isn't upto scratch. If anything isn't 5* worthy I'd much prefer if you communicate with me and I can try and make it right 🙏🏻
Aug 23, 2025 07:00 AM¡Hola, Mark! ¡Todo está bien, gracias! No te preocupes, te avisaremos si algo sale mal, pero creo que estamos listos con todo para nuestra breve estadía. Saludos, Mikhail.
Aug 23, 2025 07:33 AMI hope you've had a really lovely stay! Just a quick reminder to put the keys back in the lockbox when you checkout at 11am. It's the very top one and the code is 2988. Thanks! 🙏🏼
Aug 25, 2025 07:00 AM¡Hola, Mark! Hicimos el check-out a las 11:05. La llave ya estaba adentro.
Aug 25, 2025 09:13 AMLos limpiadores entraron en el piso sin problemas. Compartimos un lugar de estacionamiento con su auto :).
Aug 25, 2025 09:14 AM¡Gracias por la maravillosa estadía!
Aug 25, 2025 09:15 AMEl precio del estacionamiento aumentó un poco, así que probablemente puedas recomendar estacionamiento cubierto para otros huéspedes. Al menos, no hay pájaros (espero :)
Aug 25, 2025 09:17 AMGracias una vez más, pronto recibirás una reseña de cinco estrellas :).
Aug 25, 2025 09:18 AMThanks so much!!
