"Stephen is a wonderful host, the property was clean and beautiful, and we would love to go back. The location is great and the breakfasts were lovely. Every detail is thought of - truly an exceptional stay. Thank you, Stephen and your elves!"
"It was a beautiful apartment had everything u need especially if going for long stay washer/dryer dishwasher and no need to take toiletries everything provided"
"Can’t rate property because when we got there we were told they overbooked and we didn’t have a room. They then sent us to another hotel a few blocks away that was old and dingy. It did have a better location and staff were very helpful and accommodating at that hotel. Can’t say I would recommend either places though. "

5/5 Excellent
"We loved where the hotel was located in Grass Market. The view of the castle from our room was absolutely amazing. Although there wasn't a lot of retail stores in the area, it was easy to hop on a bus or get an Uber. The restaurant selection in Grass Market was plentiful. And the staff was extremely accommodating . We will definitely stay there again."
