Excellent option for a family stay
As a family, we stayed 8 nights and just loved this location and property. It was an excellent home away from home, with a great kitchen, laundry options, plenty of space for downtime, two showers and a superb location for seeing Edinburgh. We were able to walk to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh train station, the castle, University of Edinburgh and lots of other locations very easily.

Edinburgh Adventure
What a spacious and well-appointed property! We were delighted with our accommodations in Edinburgh. It was a treat to be practically in the shadow of the Castle for our stay in Scotland’s capital city! Beds were comfortable, showers had nice pressure and the lounge was spacious. I would definitely stay here again.

Great property. More than I expected.
This flat was well stocked, and was larger than I expected. Yes the location is a little bit of a walk to the center of the city, but it was really not a problem at all except when I was fully loaded with luggage. Quiet in the evenings. Wish I had booked for longer.

Great communication with host. Apartment is just below Edinburgh Castle. 20 minute walk from the train station (go around the castle not up and over). Well stocked kitchen (there were pots, pans, wine glasses, colunder, micro planer, lots of bowls, plates and glasses. Washer dryer worked great. Two nice bedrooms and an amazing family room. Super high ceilings. Loved this place.

Awful Accommodation!
Don't let the Pics or reviews fool you. This place was so bad we had to leave within an hour. It had an awful odor, the furniture was worn out stained, the rugs were dirty and stained, and there was mold in the bathroom. We immediately contacted the property management and did not receive a prompt response. A week later they said they sent someone out and did not detect the odor. I had to find a hotel at the last minute which was extremely costly. Now the management company is saying no refund. I would not stay at this location and I would not trust or deal with this property management company.

Amazing!
My brother and I stayed here and were just blown away by how easy the check in process was (we stayed in London beforehand and it was not seamless at all). The property was very conveniently located by the castle, the Royal mile, places to eat, cafes, etc. the apartment was beautiful and so spacious, the owner was very communicative leading up to check in. They answered any and all questions and it was overall a fantastic experience. If and when I come to Edinburgh again, I hope that this apartment is available to book because I 10/10 will book it again!

Home Away from Home
This lovely apartment is everything that is described in the write up. Location, spacious, clean, beautiful and comfortable. Communication was great, any questions answered right away. We are four busy adults who easily walked everywhere, even to store our luggage at a hostel and walk to a Hairy Coo bus tour, that’s how convenient the location is. You can see the castle from the front steps, market with delicious food is every Saturday, just steps from the front door. My only other comment is that washer dryer combo is a frustrating piece of machinery, so plan to wash clothes and hang to dry. Don’t hesitate-book it.

Walked to everything
The location is amazing and the space is fantastic. Big kitchen and living room. We were all very comfortable. We walked to everything in town. Wi-Fi was good, but a weak signal if you were outside the kitchen, which was sometimes annoying. We used the washer a lot and loved the kitchen rack for drying clothes. The bathrooms were nice sizes with a big tube that came in handy with kids. It was quiet and safe. We loved all that Edinburgh had to offer and walked to the castle for visit and then the Military Tatoo. Also walked to Arthur’s Seat, the Dome, Underground Tour and Fringe entertainment.

The Best Vacation Ever
We loved it. My husband, my adult son, and I could not have been happier with the location, the openness and size of the Flat (tons of closet space), and thrilled to have a washer/dryer. We walked and walked this magnificent City. There is no need to bring anything but sneakers, and be prepared for hills and many steps. Uber's were great, but we preferred to walk and walk. Our hosts were great, responding before the trip with any questions and even providing local bars to watch football or rugby, which we did. Food was excellent everywhere. Being in the old town right below the castle was incredible. Walk out each day, and there it was. I plan to come back and rent the same Flat with a girlfriend. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent

Loved the ambience and spaciousness of the apartment. Well appointed. There’s a few changes I would recommend. It was an easy walk to the castle, the store and Grassmarket. I would stay here again but would like to see the couch replaced.

This is a beautiful, historic property that is superbly located with a breathtaking view of Edinburgh Castle outside the front door.

Magnifique emplacement et équipement complet
Une surface énorme et un grand confort, avec beaucoup de choses à proximité et faisable à pieds. Accueil et service parfait de l'organisme de gestion, très réactif ! L'appartement présente néanmoins quelques désagréments, notamment l'isolation phonique des fenêtres sur rue et le coût très élevé du parking à la journée si vous venez avec une voiture. A part cela, on s'y sent très bien et c'est parfait pour découvrir la ville et faire ses courses ou manger à l'extérieur à proximité.
