Scotland trip

It was very well located. Once we ignored Google Maps, the instructions were clear. Closed Road confused Google. The only complaint was our lack of ability to get clothes dried; took a long time. The place was excellent

Comfortable with a tremendous location.

My two sisters and I travelled together to Edinburgh for an 11 night holiday. We are all seniors and found this accommodation to be perfect for us. It is on the second floor and there are no elevators which was a little difficult with our luggage otherwise they are easy stairs. The location was fabulous....only a block from the Royal Mile. We walked to all the city attractions. Grocery stores and restaurants were all within reach. The apartment its self was as described....no surprises! Communication with our landlord was always easy and they responded quickly. We enjoyed having a well supplied kitchen and a comfortable living and dining space. Hot water was plentiful so showers were a pleasure. We used the laundry and the WiFi which worked well but did not use the TV so I have no comments. We all slept well as the beds were comfortable. As we stayed for 11 nights we were given a complimentary freshening of the suite and all linens which was much appreciated. We would be pleased to stay again in the future and highly recommend this property.

Great Location

It was our fourth stay in Edingburgh. The location of the apartment surprised us. At the very end of the Royal Mile, the apartment was in a quiet residential complex. The apartment was great. Clean and cozy. From the bedroom window you had a good view of Carlton Hill. We felt very comfortable. And would love to come back.

Wonderful stay in Edinburgh

The apartment was just as described and shown in the pictures. It is in a quieter area just outside of Waverly but in easy walking distance to Calton Hill and other transportation. My family enjoyed coming home this cute apartment. Communication was quick and check in process was easy.

Close to Royal Mile

We chose this property because we had a family of four and needed proper sleeping arrangements. The master bed was large, but quite firm wasn’t terrible though. The walk to the apartment goes down a close which was a little dark during the day so I can imagine it would be at night. We walked most of the time but there is a bus stop right at Canongate which was perfect. Starbucks was located near the bus stop. The keys were a little tricky on the door as one was a skeleton key. Being from Canada not having air conditioning was ok as we could open the windows during the night. The tub was a little unsafe as there was no slip mat which was tough showering and getting in and out of the tub. There are a flight of stairs to get up to apartment but nothing to worry about unless you have physical limitations. There is a little grocer store just up the road where we purchased fruits and breakfast items. Overall it worked well for a family of four.

Comfortable apartment, fantastic location

Our family of 4 stayed for several nights in this great apartment right off of the Royal Mile. The kitchen was well supplied, and the living room was cozy, but comfortable. The only small negative was that the mattress in the main bedroom was a bit hard. That is a minor quibble. Otherwise, a great place to choose for a stay in Edinburgh.

Property safety

On the first evening in Edinburgh we returned after dark to the property. The entranceway is not well lit and the stairs are uneven which contributed to a fall which resulted in a broken ankle. This required a trip to the Royal Edinburgh Infirmary emergency department and an early return to Canada by 2 people in our group.

Excellent Location

The apartment is very well situated being a block off the Royal Mile. We were able to walk everywhere. Plenty of restaurants and shops. The apartment was as listed. Photos were an accurate depiction of the unit. We had four adults in our party and it worked well for all of us. Communication with Anabel was excellent. Very timely responses to any and all questions. Super easy checkin. Definitely would stay here again!

A bisserl eng - aber top-Lage und leise

3 Minuten zur Royal Mile - Hooka Hey. Laut ist abends nur einmal 10 Minuten lang der Bahnhof. Sonst kann man kaum glauben, dass man mitten in der Stadt ist. Von hier aus kann man praktisch alles zu Fuß machen - ein Traum. Der Preis dafür: Das Wohn- Esszimmer ist wirklich knapp. Wer am Tisch essen will, muss das Wohnzimmer einen Meter zur Seite schieben. Es gibt keine Ablagen, keine Garderobe, keinen Zentimeter freien Platz. Aber wie gesagt: in der Lage ist das wohl der Preis, den man zahlt. Die Garage ist dafür großzügig - nicht, weil sie so konstruiert ist, sondern, weil sie halb leer ist.

Hidden Gem!

What a fantastic place to stay! Apartment was well equiped with everything you could possibly need for a short stay. It was spotlessly clean too. The location was ideal as its just off The Royal mile so ideally placed for visiting losts of places and seeing Edinburghs sights and history. Would definitely recommend this little hidden gem!

Wonderful Location

The location is truly perfect. Close enough for an easy walk to anything on Royal Mile and train station, but just off the street for a quiet stay. The trains didn’t bother us at all. The parking was great and easy accessed. There is a fun pub just minutes away and a grocery store super close by. All was as advertised and we enjoyed having a kitchen, laundry and more space than we’d have in a hotel! We’d definitely use again and recommend to others.

A few short steps to the royal mile

Three flights up with a lot of baggage. Tight fit for 4 adults. Super clean. Great location for sight seeing on the royal mile as its only a 2 minute walk to get to cannon gate which becomes high street. All the shops and pubs and the castle are just a wee walk away.
