Cozy apartment. Close to bus stop. Walking distance to everything.

My family of 4 (adults) stayed in October 2024. We arrived at night but were given very detailed instructions on how to get in the apartment. We took a Airlink bus from airport to Shandwick place, and this apartment was about 2-minute walk from there. We walked all over the city and found this to be a perfect location. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

First trip to Edinburgh

Great location. We rented a car so we could spend at least one day in the Highlands. We used the Omni Centre car park - which was about a mile walk away from the property. Great walk each day through the heart of Edinburgh. Property is close to the castle, shopping, restaurants. Property was clean - perfect for my wife and I. Loved it!

West End Delight

This was a fabulous flat to stay at. It was within walking distance of everything and within 2 blocks of the Edinburgh tram which was so convenient. The property was clean and well stocked. Instructions were simple and easy to follow. I would definitely stay again if i have the chance

Nice but the devil is in the details

Nicely decorated and contemporary, however this property rates lowest in our experience in Scotland over 3 weeks of numerous guest houses/BnB’s for the following 2 reasons. 1) on street parking. Advertised as paid on street parking during day/free overnight. However parking is limited to 4 hours at a time during the day (with 1 hour no return) and cost 23GBP for the 4 hour privilege. Coins only, no cash or card. There is an App however it cannot be downloaded from Apple App Store, the link in the website to access the app is also broken. So you’re left with paying with coins or calling a phone number with an IVR service that struggles with accents. This process impacted our planning and we were 10 mins late once and we copped a charming 100GBP fine. 2) heating, we would rather pay more and have access to fully control thermostat. House was cold on the predetermined settings and the “30 minute boost” we were allowed to activate was not sufficient to keep the house warm, especially when returning from a day or evening out. Every other place we stayed at over 3 weeks did not have this limitation. Other than these challenges, the house was nice, well appointed and a quiet street close enough to the action of old and new town. So would ideally suit someone who doesn’t have a car to manage.

Great location and stay

I would recommend this place. If I ever get to go back to Edinburgh I will try to book here. Location couldn’t be better. Stores and food is abundant. I loved this apartment location on ground floor. Very pretty apartment.

Good location!

Property is in a good location close to everything. We had a car and had no trouble finding metered parking in front of the property. My only suggestion would be it was a bit cold and we were not able to turn the heat up. The management company was very responsive when we were not able to lock the door. It was not the fault of the property we were unfamiliar with this type of lock so had a little trouble. The management company explain everything and everything was ok.

Nice house

Nice house, close to the city centre. A bit too "cold" as we went during Christmas but there were no decorations or nothing festive. Very official, not cozy at all. Maybe invest a bit more in cutlery and kitchen accesories. A light outside as in the dark is difficult with the stairs. The big minus was the temperature in the house. 15 degrees and the heating is set in such way that if you don't press the button every 15 minutes, the heating switches off. Is says there is a timer that turns the heating on, but that's not true. A big plus for the bedroom bed.

Amazing stay!

Property was as advertised! Great location close to transportation, dining and shops! Property manager provided severals suggestions for dining that were great! Apartment had everything needed for the stay. Only slight negative was the thermostat instructions were not very clear on how to operate to get the heaters to come on. They only came on for a short time then turned off. Would definitely book this place again!!
