Great Location, with quirks
The location of this flat is fantastic - cannot be beat. It is quiet and easy to reach. The flat itself is fine. It could be cleaner (e.g., hairs on the ironing board under the bed) and the shower cycled from hot to cold on its own. Overall, the flat is a good place to stay due to the location.

Cozy stay by the Scottish high street
Super clean like a hotel. really comfortable and well maintained. really good location with a nice little pub right next door that plays live music. Not a good place if you can't do stairs though as there are a couple of narrow flights that are challenging with a suitcase and no lift up. But otherwise we loved our stay there and would definitely book again

Great apartment in central location
The apartment is spacious and well equipped. Even a small balcony for two people is available. The location is central, the city center is within walking distance. The only criticism concerns the communication with the property management: despite several emails and a phone call, they did not manage to unlock the promised free parking for us.

Very central property with easy access to town centre and surrounding areas. The property was spacious however one of the double sockets is loose (please do not use) and the iron had wires exposed when went to use it also do not use, plus the plug extension had wires exposed.

Can't beat the location!
My husband and I, along with our three children (14,12,9) stayed here for four nights as we exlpored Ediburgh. It's a lot of walking and up-hill to the castle (Royal Mile) but you can't beat the location. Flat offered a warm place to sleep with comfy beds and hot water. It was nothing fancy but just what we needed.

Near to everything
We were going to be in Edinburgh for 3 days with no car. This place was close enough to walk from the train station , to the castle, royal mile, old town, new town, Deans Village, Arthur’s seat All of it was in easy reach! There was a full kitchen and a convenience store type market just on opposite side of block.

Five nights at this flat. Good communication with Barry. Flat is walkable to many neighborhoods which is an asset. Entryway to building needs a facelift, but the flat is well maintained and comfortable. We would stay here again.

Needs a good scrub
40 narrow steep spiral steps to get to room. A big ask to take suitcases up. Although the place is very old, overall needs a good scrub especially inside the mugs. No tea towels or scourer for saucepans and pans.

Schönes Wohnung in zentraler Umgebung
Eigentlich eine schöne Wohnung in zentraler Umgebung. Leider war nicht ordentlich gereinigt worden. Allerdings war die Rücksprache mit Vermieter vorbildlich. Am Tag der Reinigung ist gleichzeitig ein neues SOfa geliefert und aufgebaut worden, so dass zeitlich wohl einiges durcheinander lief und ich daher ausgehen, dass die Reinigung vorab aus diesem Grund ausnahmsweise nicht gründlich erfolgte. Ansonsten ist die Wohnung weiter zuempfehlen.

Alles i.O.
Es war alles in Ordnung. Wir konnten für 15£ schon 10:30 Uhr in die Wohnung rein. Die Kommunikation per Chat oder Telefon mit dem Vermieter hat gut geklappt. Die Lage ist super zentral. Es war alles da. Wäschetrockengestell, Waschmaschine, Handtücher, Gewürze, Geschirr, …. Für 6 Leute ist es etwas eng, aber es entsprach der Beschreibung und für ein paar Tage war es ok.

Excellent location!
This apartment is located conveniently in the city center, walking distance to all major attractions, great restaurants and walking distance to both train stations (Haymarket and Waverley). The owners of this apartment run a very organized and professional operation. They were excellent with communication and quickly responsive to questions, needs and or concerns. The beds were comfortable and the apartment had all of the necessary amenities. It was a good value all around.

Edinburgh
We had an amazing trip to Edinburgh, our apt was in the perfect area for us. A few blocks from the convention center, and an easy walk to the grass market and the royal mile. We did a lot of exploring the city and day trips as well. We both said we would be back to edinburgh and would stay at this apt if it was available.

The property was well located close to restaurants,cafes and grocery stores. Short walking distance to the castle and other sites. The main bathroom toilet wasn’t working but there was a back up. He was getting someone in to repair it. Entranceway a bit shabby looking but the apartment itself was clean and bright
