Perfect location in Old Town Edinburgh

Location was super great! It is in the heart of The Grass Market…beautiful scenery and lots of action. Easy access in and out of the property. The bed was a bit small for us, but we are used to sleeping in a king size bed.

The property was very nice and in a good location. We had some trouble getting into it the first time to figure out which door to go into, the key was sticky. I did try to contact the host but it was after hours but I did get hold of the after hours person who clarified there was a not so obvious second dead bolt. I guessed I missed it but the info on the site said it had a washer. I guess I misunderstood it had no drier. You would want to allow a whole day for washed clothes to dry hanging all over the place. It was in a very busy, interesting Grassmarket district. Lively pubs and restaurants. One thing nothing to do with the property as such, our Apple iPhone map app didn’t work properly especially in Edinburgh. It always located us at least several blocks from our actual location. Just a nuisance.

Edinburg vacation

My sister and I traveled to Edinburgh from the States The location of the apartment was absolutely perfect We enjoyed exploring Edinburgh on foot and the location allowed us to easily access all of our must see activities The apartment itself was very nice however a few things to consider, the location is right above and beside restaurants . So you guessed it.. extremely loud partying especially on Friday and Saturday night! Screaming , bottles breaking and partying until 4:00 in the morning, ! So if you don’t mind being awake most of the night then this is a great spot . Another thing to consider is the sofa and beds are VERY firm and after 8+ hrs on hard surfaces a firm mattress is brutal! Doors to the exterior and exterior are VERY heavy . I’m not sure if the pluses out weigh the negatives but our stay was memorable even if we got no sleep and out backs are out .

Wonderful location for the fringe and the Tattoo. Apartment has everything you need for a longer stay. We were there for 8 nights. As with all centrally located apartments in older cities the place is not large, but you shouldn’t be spending much time inside anyway.

A perfect place to stay.Grassmarket was central to everything in Edinburgh. Just a short walk to the castle, Greyfriars churchyard, Royal Mile etc. Plenty of pubs and restaurants right outside the door. Plenty of hot water and a comfortable bed.Roomy apartment with every facility. Even had a washing macine! Easy self-access. Would recommend and would stay again.

We wanted somewhere central and this is right at the end of the Grassmarket in the Old town, brilliant location. It is pretty compact but actually has everything you need even a washer drier which we didn't need but I can see you might! The instructions were comprehensive and the place was clean and tidy. Highly recommend based on value and location.

This second story walk up is set right in the middle of Grassmarket. It is well maintained and clean. Management responds to any and all questions. You are really in the heart of Edinburgh, I would highly recommend this location. Our only challenge at first was finding it. The entrance to the apartment is in a courtyard so you have to walk down a Close to get to the door. Just look for the Pink restaurant .
