Spacious, clean, and perfect location to access the many sites of Edinburgh. My only suggestions would be to replace the tired sofas in the living room and add basic amenities like soap, shampoo, etc. for the bathrooms. Otherwise, we had a great stay!

The place is perfect for 6 adults: large rooms, kitchen and living room. After long day touring in Edinburgh, we were very happy to be in our apartment to relax and have good time among friends. The apartment is well located, many restaurants, coffee shops and commodities around. Book this place you won't regret it.

Wonderful accommodations, spacious and welcoming. Our party of 5 were comfortable and the location made it easy to site see. The only drawback was the litter around the property due to the amount of people traveling this Main Street. I suppose it comes with having a convenient location. One suggestion would be to provide some dishwasher detergent, so on the final day, when having to depart early, visitors could run the dishwasher when not having time to hand wash the breakfast dishes. We could find none. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Spacious and Elegant
There are many positives about this lovely property. Tall ceilings and large rooms were a welcome change from our other accommodations throughout our UK trip. Very comfortable stay for four adults. We ate a few meals in the well equipped kitchen, relaxed in the beautiful living room, washed clothes in the convenient machine, and slept well in comfortable beds. There are many nearby restaurants and food stores! We especially enjoyed The Thirsty Pallet across the street which is great for breakfast. Getting to the royal Mile area was a bit of a walk, and I didn’t figure out the public transportation details even though there is a bus stop directly in front of this property. We walked and used Uber a few times. I do wish there had been some welcome packet/information left there for us regarding the bus routes to get to the tourist areas and the use of the induction appliances. Communicating with the owner through VRBO worked for me before and after my stay. During the stay, I was instructed to contact some property managers, but my cell phone wouldn’t dial UK numbers and communication became much more difficult for me while I was there. My sister’s phone was able to call/text the numbers, so we got our answers about a few things. I recommend this property and would gladly stay here again!

Great location but not ideal for longer stays or children or cooking in the apartment
My family and I stayed here over a week around Christmas. We found the location and the property itself to be rather amazing. It's easy to access the apartment from the street and it's original features (high ceilings, ornate mantle) are really beautiful. We were overall content with the property. However, for such a nice listing and the price we all expected more. The implied welcome kit was just some used pamphlets for things in the area. Photos suggest a bottle of some kind in the welcome kit, but no such gift is included. I don't drink so I don't mind not having alcohol, but surely this suggestion of hospitality in the photo is misleading. We found most of the dishes to be rather dirty and we had to wash them all prior to use (lipstick markings on glasses, sticky plates, etc). Key items for longer term use of the kitchen and house are missing - no oven mitts, no paper towels, napkins, or facial tissues, mixing bowls, can opener, large cooking pot. A number of items in the kitchen are broken: bottom dishwasher rack, corkscrew, spatula, ice maker, and ice storage bin. Furthermore, despite my attempts to confirm an appropriate sleeping arrangement for my infant child (with late responses through VRBO and silence through email with the management company), the travel cot provided had a "mattress" that was just wooden boards. I realise that it's sold that way but if the management company truly put their children onto such a device without a softer mattress, I'd be absolutely shocked. The uselessness of contacting the management (they just told me it came that way) strikes me as rather neglectful of their clients. I had to order a mattress myself which I left at the apartment. I was told to bring our own linens for the cot but not told what size it was and certainly not told to bring our own mattress. In comparison, the hotel we had to stay in the night following our stay in this property (cancelled trains) had a great cot with mattress for our infant and had 10 minutes of notice, as opposed to months. This VRBO is run by a corporation, so I would expect similar standards of care to a hotel. I'm sure a private family owner would do better. I would not advise anyone with children to stay here. I would also suggest that you check they've provided sufficient changes to the kitchen supplies before you book this place with plans to cook for yourself. Otherwise, it's in a great location and the building itself is beautiful.

Home away from home for Thanksgiving
We enjoyed a great week as we visited our oldest who is studying at the University of Edinburgh. Walkable to everywhere we wanted or needed to be. The oldest kids were able to meet up in the evening and walk back "home". There is a small pull over by the house if you call a taxi and we had no issues. Great restaurants up the road. The place gave us plenty of space to catch up, relax and enjoy family meals.

Convenient Location
Location is very convenient to Old Town, New Town; easy to walk most places and public transit is close by. Spacious and pleasant bedrooms, kitchen and sitting room. Needs a bit of maintenance; light bulbs are burnt out, not all switches are operable (we had to remove a bulb from an overhead fixture that could not be turned off in one of the bedrooms); toilet seats loose, no replacement bulbs available for light over sink. Better supply of essentials would be helpful. Two rolls of toilet paper for four people for seven nights, so had to request more. Also no instructions for how to operate washer/dryer or the stove/range and microwave. We used Youtube to figure out washer, but being Americans we were completely baffled as to how to turn on the stove and thus could not cook as planned. Nor could we figure out the espresso machine.

Fringe and friends
My husband and another couple enjoyed staying here. It is extremely well located - close enough to walk most everywhere but not in the middle of all the chaos that is Edinburgh in August. The Fringe was fun, the Tattoo AMAZING, and the crowds large. There is road construction going on right in front of the unit so it was noisy in the afternoon but quiet at night. The apartment is amazing! Perfect for our 5 day stay.

Location and size of this location were awesome! Was a bit surprised there we no wash clothes or extra towels. Drapes in front bedroom need repair. Finally, to say there is a washer and dryer in this unit is a bit of a stretch. Clothes do not really dry, it is more of a tumbler. Overall great experience just a few minor tweaks would make this place fantastic.

Terrific Apartment
We just spent three nights in Edinburgh and used this wonderful apartment as a base. It has everything we needed and was in a great neighborhood. It was spacious and well-appointed. The only downside -- and not something the owners can manage -- was the road construction that made locating the place a bit challenging (GoogleMaps is not always right, right?). BUT, we were successful and loved our stay. PS: The front door is not really what I'd call mint green -- more slate green, but colors are in the eyes of the beholders!

We had a wonderful time during our stay! The apartment was perfect for our group. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and we had everything we needed to prepare meals. The living room was cozy and we enjoyed a movie or two during our stay. The location of the apartment was wonderful for us with plenty of stores and pubs near by. A few cab drivers did have a challenge finding the address of the apartment though. So we would make sure to note the exact location when reserving cabs or Uber drivers. We loved the space and would highly recommend the apartment!
