Perfect location - needs new mattresses
This apartment is located in the most perfect location. The local pub downstairs, coffee across the street, amazing Thai restaurant a few doors down and wine/liquor store all on this quaint and quiet street. The Royal Mile was a 10-12 minute walk and plenty of other choices for dining and shopping along the way. The stairs were a little precarious but manageable. The layout of the apartment was comfortable. We didn’t spend much time here as most of our visit we were out exploring. But with lots of exploring, good rest is vital. These mattresses were by far the worst things we have slept on in a long time. Old, thin, inner spring mattresses kept all of us from enjoying a restful nights sleep. We all took turns sleeping on the couch for a night. It’s clear the owners do not stay and sleep at their property or this would have been noticed and surely fixed. The necessity to meet the manager st the property was very inconvenient. After a very long day/night of travel you have to time the arrival just right with the management company to retrieve the key. And after that they insist on “showing you around” the apartment as if you couldn’t figure out where the bathrooms were located. What would have been way more helpful would have been instructions on how to use the very complicated washer/dryer combo system. Google proved quite helpful in this situation. This apartment could would be a solid choice with better mattresses, fans, and operational instructions.

Fantastic location
Our stay was fantastic. Easy to check in the people were so helpful when my friend got sick. They were always full of advice and so helpful. Great location. Close to Rose St and Princess St. the Thistle Bar was just below us. Never heard any noise and it was a great place to visit. The Queens Arms Pub was at the end of the block and had great food and whisky. Just wished we could have stayed longer
