Wonderful home away from home.

Appreciated books, local maps, extra adapters, sweet treats, teas, comfortable living room, cleanliness, security, decor. Did not anticipate there was no lift to bring our 3 large luggage bags up the 3 flights of 21 stairs each. Lack of accessibility should be more clearly stated.

Perfect in every way!

This property was way beyond our expectations! It was walking distance to so much that Edinburg has to offer, but in a quiet location. Martin has thought of everything to make the stay special and the decor of the flat is spot on. Beautifully worn wood floors, comfortable and useful space with real furniture, not rental property stuff. Bravo!

Great stay

We had a great stay. Wonderful bathroom with plenty of hot water. Well stocked, updated kitchen. Kitchen has been renovated since listing photos. Comfortable living room. Beds are only double, rather than Queen, which was a bit small for the over six foot males. One bedroom doesn’t have exterior window. Apartment is on third floor, so lots of stairs and no lift. Great view though because of that. We had a great time.

Edinburgh flat

Martin's place was perfect for me and my two adult children. My son and I flew over from the States to visit my daughter who is studying at St. Andrew's University. The flat was perfect - cute, clean, comfy, and was located within walking distance of everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again!

All around excellence - Highly recommend!

Just returned home from a 10 day visit to my old home town and I couldn’t be happier with the accommodation. It was centrally located, with easy walking access to the new and old town it also had easy access to the trams (to and from the airport) and other public transport. Shopping, restaurants and bars where practically on the door step. The flat itself was wonderful. It had warm, cozy, stylish decor with modern bathroom and kitchen features which made you feel right at home. The unobstructed view of Carlton Hill monuments from the living room window was amazing. The host kindly provides everything you need to cook if you are so inclined as well as provides milk, coffe and tea to start your stay. They also provide a washing machine and the ability to air dry your clothes via a traditional ceiling pulley clothes dryer. There were two bedrooms with double beds, but they also provided a comfortable cot that will allow three single travelers their own space. This worked really well for us to each have our own bed. Be aware there are no elevators in the building, but my Mum, who is nearly eighty, was able to climb the stairs with no issues. The host was easy to communicate and work with and check in using the key safe was really easy.. All around an amazing stay and would highly recommend it to anyone. In fact, this will be my first choice the next time I return.

Absolutely Lovely

My sons and I stayed in this very cozy, charming flat for several days. It is warm and inviting with beautiful views of Calton Hill. Fantastic neighborhood near many shops and restaurants. Many have commented on the stairs but I found them very manageable. My sons were intrigued by the clothes dryer which lowered from the ceiling. The kitchen was well equipped allowing us to cook with ease. The beds were very comfortable and the room darkening curtains were a bonus. I highly recommend this flat.
