City center

Loud obnoxious drunks keep you awake well into the morning hours from the bar across the street. You are provided one towel and one hand towel with no wash clothes. There are no instructions for appliances that are unlike appliances we are used to. Not great communication. Worn out furniture. The castle view is phenomenal, convenient walking to all sightseeing attractions and shopping but the comfort level is very low for the price paid. I would not recommend this place.

Quirky apartment with great location

My spouse and I stayed four nights in this apartment. The positives are that it is in a great location with access to pubs, cafes, grocery store and attractions. It also had a spectacular view of the castle and we felt like a local staying there. Also even though it is on a busier street it was fairly quiet. The challenges are that the checkin process was not well communicated, couch and curtains were very worn, Netflix on tv was not working and the fridge stopped working completely. Also the pictures of apartment do not show the front entrance of building. It has a barred security gate and large rubbish bins. There was also a lot of quirky instructions on how to operate items such as water heater was on a timer.

Great location

Location was perfect for the Fringe Festival, dining and bars. Property was clean but tired, furnishings torn and a bit ragged. Communication with company was fine.

As Advertised

The bathroom and overall space is excellent. It makes all the difference when you are travelling to be able to relax, and after climbing all the stairs the apartment is worth it. Great view, lovely easy open skylights, and that tub. Heaven.

What a find!

Everything about this stay was amazing. The location of the apartment to the station and all the hubbub of Edinburgh was perfect. Directions and online communication was fantastic - didn’t stress at all. The view from our front door (Edinburgh castle) was breathtaking. The whole flat was so clean and tidy and had everything we needed for the two nights we stayed. Would definitely book again. Couldn’t find a fault (well maybe shower pressure but that was only an issue for me when washing my hair!) Look forward to booking again when we next visit

Broken key ruins stay

When we arrived the key broke off in the deadbolt. When we called the contact we were told we would have to find a locksmith and pay bill. After 3 hours of dealing with locksmiths and one cancelling after waiting an hour the bill ended up being over $700 to drill and replace the deadbolt. First, I shouldn’t have been responsible for a worn out key. Second, the management company should have numbers of locksmiths so someone from another country on holiday doesn’t get taken advantage of. The bed was small, the loveseat is coming apart. The kitchen, heating and location were very nice. Not sure two full size adults can fit into the full size bed.

Location, location!

This flat is perfectly located central to everything you could desire in Edinburgh. The location really could not be better as you quite literally sit in the shadow of the castle. Checking in and out also couldn’t be easier.

Boutique apartment in a great location

Rented this place for 4 nights during the Fringe Festival. The apartment is in an older block just near Grassmarket area and with great views of the Castle. Check in process was easy. Bed was very comfortable and apartment was clean. However the place could do with a bit of a refurb with decorating...and a maintenance issue had to be reported in the kitchen. I couldn't get the TV to play normal TV channels ..just apps like Netflix & YouTube. Small supermarket for provisions just a few minutes walk away and nice cafe across the road. Ideal location for a stay in the Old Town for single traveller or couple.

Lovely little flat - great view and 5 mins from everything

We loved the location of the flat just a few minutes from lively Grassmarket and 5 mins on to the Royal Mile. Ideal. The view from the window is just as advertised. The looming view of the castle is awesome. Happy to recommend both the flat and the company as the arrangements were really smooth.
