Beautiful Comfortable Flat

Loved the flat and location. It was convenient to all the different venues we wanted to visit. Loved the space; it was a perfect spot for us to hang our hats and see the sites in Edinburgh!

Great place and perfect location

The apartment was great. The location was perfect, and within walking distance to most all of the sites. The only drawback was that while the apartment did haya wash machine, it didn't have a dryer...I can't remember if that was mentioned in the description, but it would have been nice to have. Ofherwy, everything was wonderful.

Great location

The property is as listed. Very comfortable. Check in had two different addresses listed for key pick up, which caused some confusion and unnecessary walking around with our luggage. Having face cloths provided would have been nice. Otherwise, it was a great stay

Don't believe the pictures!

The positive: Location- but know that it's really noisy. The negative: Everything else. There are pubs all around so it is noisy at night and there is a restaurant right below so it's noisy in the morning. The flat is shabby and needs an upgrade. It's not chic at all. The management is a multinational so if you need anything, it takes forever and there are hurdles to getting anything done. All in all, we wouldn't stay there again.

Hostel vibes

The best thing about this place is the location. Rose Street is so cute and many points of interest are located within easy walking distance. However the building and the apartment are run down. The back half of the unit is sinking and the floors are sloped. The place smells musty with a top note of febreeze. The couches and rugs are dirty and stained. The mattress is thin and uncomfortable and the pillows feel like hospital pillows. I don’t know who is rating this property with 5 stars but I suspect it’s people who normally stay at hostels. It was not worth the money and I would not recommend.

Adequate and comfortable

The flat itself is okay but showing wear and tear. To get to flat, there is a very dark stone stairway which in the evening (when we arrived) makes it very hard to see and one feels a bit uncomfortable. Property manager responded really quickly when we reported problem with sink and when needed something so that’s great. Walls are very thin. I commend the crew doing renovation either next door or one floor down, and their choice of music, just not at 7:00 am. We realize that was just unfortunate timing for us but overall bed comfortable, basics provided but place needs some touch ups and a new cleaning service.

Great location. Great flat

I really liked the place a lot. There were some issues with the flat availability when we arrived, but it was partially my fault, and eventually we had everything corrected a nd keys delivered to us. There were a few things that I wish were better: the washing machine was super helpful in allowing us to pack light for our 7 days stay, but there was no way to dry clothes. I wish there were a couple of lines in the bathroom or even a free standing clothes dryer. We were resourceful and we managed, but it was a bit of a hustle. Also- the bedroom bed is an American Queen size, not King. That was a n important point for us to get that flat, and not another one. Queen was good enough. The bed was OK, but not as comfortable as we hoped. Overall - for the price and location - I still give it all 5* ratings. Halina and Keith.

great, just didn't like having to take the keys back to the office when we were flying out. I would of liked to just leave them at the house or in a lock box at the house
