Bed was comfy however on the first night the fire alarm battery went off all night. The light in the hall flickered constantly when turned on.
On the 2nd night the in the lounge had running water coming out of it, which soaked the sofa, floor and table where my laptop was

My-Canning Street is an excellent location for Edinburgh City Centre. It forms part of the West End ‘Village’ with interesting boutiques, pubs and is two minutes from the tram line. Apartment is clean and well-equipped.

2/10 Poor
1 Oct 2024
The simplest way to describe it is rough around the edges with a horror of an owner. The walls needed a fresh coat (they were very scratched and dirty), The bathroom lock didn’t work, The door to the bedroom didn’t slid shut properly. However all these little things didn’t bother us that much as it was clean and a place to mainly use as a base and to sleep in.
This is where the problem started. The bed. It was two singles zipped together…this isn’t a problem. However they could hardly be described as a mattress as you would get more sleep on a park bench. My wife’s side was lumpy with springs digging into her sides while my mattress HAD COMPLETELY COLLAPSED. My waist was touching the divan base!
Obviously we get no sleep at all….not to mention the soundproofing is none existent. I call the owner at 8:30 on the emergency line. He answers and is abrupt with no apology but said he’ll get it replaced that day. At 4pm we arrived back and it wasn’t replaced so I called again, he said it’ll be done by 6pm sounding more annoyed. At 6:30 nothings done.
After two days with no sleep we couldn’t do another so we had to leave and book a premier inn.
If you are wanting sleep, without hearing 5 other apartments having conversations, arguments and room arrangements at 3-6am. If you want a bed to sleep in that actually functions as a bed and if you want nice owners who treat their customers with respect. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Great location!
I stayed at canning street apartments for a week (last week). Normally I book a hotel but this was a last minute trip and that was not an option. I was worried about not having the amenities of a hotel but it turned out great. The extra space and having a full kitchen was convenient.
The location was amazing a great spot between old and new town.
Instructions were clear for check in and check out. I didn't need anything during my stay so can't comment on that.
I agree with other reviewers suggestions about coat hooks by the front door, that would be helpful. Also adding extra blankets for the living room would be nice.

Apartment was spacious and two bathrooms was a nice amenity. The unit was well stocked. As others have said the beds and stairs are noisy. Also, property manager was helpful with check-in instructions and other communication prior to arrival but once we arrived we did not have any communication and questions went unanswered.

Spacious apartment with a good location! Our family of 4 stayed 2 nights. Instructions to get in were clear. Our apartment had 2 bedrooms and a bath upstairs and a bathroom, living room, kitchen downstairs. Do be aware that there are fairly steep stairs to climb up to get to the apartment as well as stairs in the apartment. Washer was a big plus though there's no dryer. Area close to the castle yet quiet.

Our stay here was very good.
Communication between Expedia and us wasnt good, but when i called My-Canning they were very good. Nice that it is off the main street.

Spacious and convenient.
We were glad to have the space to spread out for a couple of days after having stayed in some small hotel rooms for the previous couple of weeks. It was great to have a washing machine, even though there was no laundry soap. (We left some for others.) The location was awesome. Castle, grocery store, restaurants all easily walkable. The only negative was that it was a smidge noisy. Nothing that kept us awake, but during the day we could hear the tile saws of workers outside almost as if they were inside. We would stay here again.

Property is in good condition.
However, we requested for an early check-in via SMS. The message was “read” only. It would be ideal to respond, and as simple yes or no should suffice.

Poor night sleep
I tried to feed this back to company prior to review but received no reply or refund.
Initial thought was it was lovely flat in central location. I wouldnt suggest this for single person as although central you do still have to go along quiet streets to get to it.
Unfortunately bed was the squeakiest bed weve ever been in...just could not move without really loud squeaks so neither of us got a good sleep.
I tried sleeping downstairs but noise of the exceptionally squeaky stairs woke my husband.
Lots of tech in property but unfortunately no manuals to tell you how to work them and as we were out a lot we just did what we could.
Lights in living room could only go on dim setting or they flickered continually.
Pity about the squeaks as it really did spoil our break and we came home needing a good sleep.
Currently not worth the money in our opinion.

Great location if not driving. The amenities were good, but the bed a little firm for me and the stairs in apartment might not be suited to all. I'd consider going back again

The apartment was very clean and had everything you could need; the TV even had Netflix and itv etc. already signed in. It’s in a great area in the city centre and very accessible! Most things were in walking distance such as the shopping centre, restaurants, the castle, museums and if not there are many buses. Would highly recommend and have nothing negative to say about it 🙂

Fox and Faun local pub. Access to trams. Centrally located to Edinburgh attractions. Fox and Faun! Edinburgh Farmers Market! Access in general. Stairs were tough at 72. Owner humped our luggage for us. Good man. Fox and Faun! Need manuals for kitchen appliances. Missing upstairs TV remote. Fox and Faun! Bathroom great. Firm mattress! Stairs were tough at 72. 😉 Centrally located. Good access to public transport. Tough initial communication. Small group of people doing the work. All good in the end. Did I mention the Fox and Faun? Everybody needs and appreciates a neighborhood pub. We would gladly return to MyCanningStreetApsrtments especially knowing what we know about the communication piece. Fox and Faun for the win. 😉 Thank you.
