Property Title • Jan 17 - Jan 20, 2026
Hola, Mark, ¿cómo estás? Espero que te vaya bien. En primer lugar, vi el apartamento y su ubicación y las reseñas y mis amigos y yo decidimos reservar el alojamiento. El propósito de la visita o viaje a Edimburgo es principalmente el turismo, es la primera vez para nosotros y esperamos que no sea la última y estamos ansiosos por explorar el lugar y también nos preguntábamos y preguntábamos amablemente si llegaremos a Edimburgo a las 10:00-11:30 a. m. y nos preguntábamos si podemos hacer el check-in o recibir las llaves en el momento de nuestra llegada si es posible y gracias por tu tiempo.
Dec 06, 2025 08:05 PMHi Ali, 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, This is my home when I’m not travelling, so I’ve tried to make it cosy and welcoming for you too. If anything feels off or could be improved, even something small, just let me know — I’ll do my best to sort it out. And if you’re happy, a little 5★ love always means a lot!😊

Dec 06, 2025 08:19 PMGracias, Mark, será un placer visitar Edimburgo y tu alojamiento y pasar un buen rato allí y antes de las fechas reservadas me pondré en contacto contigo para la hora de llegada y muchas gracias.
Dec 06, 2025 08:24 PMUnfortunately there are guests checking out the morning of the day you arrive. I can ask to the cleaning team so they can let me know as soon as they finish to prepare the flat, but the check out time for the other guests is at 11am and the cleaning team needs plenty time to prepare everthing again.. If you need somewhere to store your luggage while you wait then there is a service called Luggage Hero. It's like Airbnb for bags - shops will keep hold of your bags for a small fee. There's one of Broughton Street which is very close to my flat and there are a number of nice cafes on that road. Here's the link: (https://app.luggagehero.com/shop-details/629604dac16ad871b03f737d;bags=1;from=202306131200;to=202306131300;source=app) I hope this helps! 🙏☺️
Dec 06, 2025 08:26 PMMuy bien, muchas gracias, no hay problema.
Dec 06, 2025 08:27 PMSo regarding checkin for tomorrow - there is a lockbox on the wooden doorframe of 35 Leith Street - it is the second one down. The code is 3108. 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 (3108) in two places 👍🏼
Jan 16, 2026 10:00 AMBuenos días, Mark. Solo quería preguntarte si es posible hacer el check-in un poco antes, si eso es posible, solo infórmame, por favor. Sé que me informaste antes que la empresa de limpieza necesitará tiempo para terminar, pero solo preguntando si hay una posibilidad de que hagamos el check-in antes, solo avísame y gracias.
Jan 16, 2026 10:45 AMHi Ali, I will ask to the cleaning team. What time would you arrive?
Jan 16, 2026 11:58 AMLlegaré al aeropuerto alrededor de las 8:30 a. m.
Jan 16, 2026 12:00 PMAl departamento tal vez alrededor de las 10:00 a. m.
Jan 16, 2026 12:01 PMOh, Unfortunately there are guests checking out at 11:00 the morning of the day you arrive. I can ask to the cleaners so they can tell me as soon as they finish to prepare the flat, hopefully before 15hs 🤞 but I can not guarantee that. If you need somewhere to store your luggage while you wait then there is a service called Luggage Hero. It's like Airbnb for bags - shops will keep hold of your bags for a small fee. There's one of Broughton Street which is very close to my flat and there are a number of nice cafes on that road. Here's the link: (https://app.luggagehero.com/shop-details/629604dac16ad871b03f737d;bags=1;from=202306131200;to=202306131300;source=app) I hope this helps! 🙏☺️
Jan 16, 2026 01:24 PMNo hay problema, Mark. Gracias, Mark.
Jan 16, 2026 02:31 PMBuenos días, Mark. Solo quería informarte que acabo de llegar a Escocia y solo avísame cuando el apartamento esté disponible.
Jan 17, 2026 08:23 AMHi Ali, Perfect I've already contacted the cleaning team and asked them to let me know when they finish preparing it.
Jan 17, 2026 09:43 AMGracias, Mark
Jan 17, 2026 09:46 AMHi Ali, The flat is ready now
Jan 17, 2026 01:04 PM¿Así que mis amigos y yo nos dirigimos al apartamento?
Jan 17, 2026 01:05 PMPorque estamos cerca.
Jan 17, 2026 01:05 PMY disculpa por preguntar de nuevo, ¿cómo podemos acceder a las llaves? Lo siento, es la primera vez que uso Airbnb.
Jan 17, 2026 01:06 PMYes, you can go to the flat now it's ready
Jan 17, 2026 01:08 PMYou have instructions through the app and above in these messages for accessing the key safe
Jan 17, 2026 01:08 PMHere is the message. You also have a photo guide in the app
Jan 17, 2026 01:09 PMMuchas gracias, estamos en camino.
Jan 17, 2026 01:14 PMLlegué
Jan 17, 2026 01:32 PM¿Qué caja es?
Jan 17, 2026 01:33 PMMark, tenemos las llaves, gracias.
Jan 17, 2026 01:38 PMEl departamento está muy limpio y muchas gracias, Mark.
Jan 17, 2026 01:43 PMMark, disculpa por la molestia. Última pregunta: ¿cómo puedo apagar los calentadores en el apartamento?
Jan 17, 2026 01:50 PMI have turned the heating off for you
Jan 17, 2026 01:55 PMSí, por favor, lo preferimos así sin calefacción, por favor, y gracias por tu paciencia.
Jan 17, 2026 01:56 PMNo problem. It's turned off and will remain off unless you turn it on at the thermostat again 👍🏽😊
Jan 17, 2026 01:57 PMMuchas gracias.
Jan 17, 2026 01:57 PMThat is the lockbox
Jan 17, 2026 02:20 PMJust in case. Last guests said someone else put another lockbox on the top so, we have the second one now
Jan 17, 2026 02:23 PMMuy bien, excelente, gracias por aclarar todo, Mark.
Jan 17, 2026 02:23 PMI 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 second one from the top and the code is 3108. Also, Just a quick note to help you enjoy the flat comfortably. As the building is historic and the bathroom design is being updated little by little, please make sure to keep the shower head pointing downwards (not towards the curtain) and use moderate water pressure rather than the maximum setting. This small tip really helps keep everything working well and makes your stay more pleasant. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼😊
Jan 17, 2026 07:00 PMPor supuesto, Mark, no te preocupes.
Jan 17, 2026 07:37 PMHi Ali, 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 🙏🏻
Jan 18, 2026 09:00 AMTodo es excelente
Jan 19, 2026 10:57 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 3108. Thanks! 🙏🏼
Jan 20, 2026 09:00 AMHola, Mark.
Jan 20, 2026 09:24 AMPor supuesto, no te preocupes Mark y el apartamento es increíble y tu amabilidad y paciencia fue excelente definitivamente una evaluación de 5 estrellas
Jan 20, 2026 09:25 AMMark, lo siento, ¿podemos tener solo 10 minutos y luego haremos el check-out? ¿Está bien? Solo estamos terminando las cosas.
Jan 20, 2026 11:00 AMHi Ali, yes that should be fine, but if the cleaners arrive then if you could just let them come in the begin their work 🙏🏽
Jan 20, 2026 11:01 AMSí, claro, me habré ido antes de que no te preocupes, Mark y tu hermano anfitrión increíble.
Jan 20, 2026 11:06 AMTodo listo
Jan 20, 2026 11:21 AMMuchas gracias por todo, hermano.
