Great location to see the sights!

Really enjoyed this stay. It was large enough to fit the 7 of us and we didn’t feel on top of each other. Easy access to the city from this central spot. Parking was expensive at the QPark and was a bit inconvenient to go back and forth for the van for our day trips to the golf course. 27£/day and a 15 min round trip to get the car. so if you can, find better options. Overall, great stay!

Edinburgh Penthouse

I found the area by the penthouse to be filled with lovely fragrant flowers that filled the air. I heard the songs of the laughing gulls in the early mornings and wanted to take them home. The apartment was bright and very spacious for six of us. The clothes dryer could have been more effective. We loved staying there and would stay again. Melonie M

Great apartment with views of Edinburgh

My family of 5 had a wonderful time staying 2 nights in this modern, spacious apartment in new town Edinburgh. Fantastic views! Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. There is a co-op grocery nearby and laundry in the apartment. I would stay here again for another visit to Edinburgh.

Lovely stay

The property was beautiful. The view was stunning. The rooms were all comfortable. It was a nice quiet street but close enough to the tram, and still walkable to all attractions. The only issue we ran into was weak wifi, especially in the back of the apartment, and when the doors were closed, or too many people were connected. Other than that, would absolutely stay again and would recommend.

Wonderful stay in Edinburgh!

This is a wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh with lots of local cafes and unique stores. It’s a very walkable location and we could reach all the main attractions within a 15 to 20 min walk. There are also convenient bus and transit connections for local and day trips outside of the main city. We had wonderful walks to the botanic garden and Deans village and all the amazing museums along with the Royal Mile! The place is lovely with a beautiful view and large sitting room for the entire family to enjoy. Our host John was incredibly responsive and the place was well stocked with all the essentials. Thank you John for making this such an enjoyable stay and we hope to visit again in the near future!

Great stay in Edinburgh!

My husband and I arranged a family trip to Scotland with our two adult daughters. This listing looked perfect for us. We like to see many areas of a city and love to walk. It was perfect location to see the Royal Mile as well as to experience other areas. We especially liked Broughton Street with bakeries and restaurants. The listing was very clean, great amenities, and plenty of room for all of us. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Gorgeous penthouse in Edinburg

John and Alicia’s penthouse apartment in Edinburg was exactly as advertised. It was super spacious for our crowd of 5 adults. My two favorite features were 1) the balcony and 2) the pocket door separating the living / kitchen area from the bedrooms. As I’m an early riser it was nice to be able to turn on the television without being disruptive. The Coop market was maybe a five minute walk to get groceries. The location was fabulous. Probably a 1/1.5 mile walk to the Royal mile. There was a ten minute walk to the bus station (where we caught the buses for our day trips) We had one minor issue with the washing machine that they addressed immediately. I would highly recommend this property and I would not hesitate to rent this apartment again when I go back to beautiful Scotland.

Family Friendly Flat; Walk To New and Old Town

Our family of 4 (12 yr old / 18 yr old) thought this was an ideal spot for 4 days in Edinburgh. You can walk to everything, but far enough off the noise of the Royal Mile so it also a quiet spot after a long day. The big windows and balcony are lovely. As to the immediate neighborhood, we enjoyed the restaurants on Leith Walk (one block walk), the local coffee shop around the corner and the Harry Potter- like alley walk to the city streets. Owners are a nice family and responsive. Key pick up is a little tricky, and if you go when it is uniquely hot there is no a/c (but large patio doors that open).

Beautiful Apartment

Clean, spacious and good location. This was our first stop on a 12 day trip across Scotland. It is a little bit more of a walk to Old Town which would have been fine had we not planned two days of golfing St Andrews immediately after 24 hours of flying and then sightseeing. That was on us though. Looking back we would have done sightseeing in Edinburgh and then come back for St Andrews at the end of our trip. Lots of food nearby and considering 50% of our group had lost luggage, the washer/dryer were a god send. We would definitely stay here again. Check in and check out we’re totally transparent.
