Great location

Clean, tidy and well equipped apartment with a fantastic location. Owners were very responsive to queries. Only downside for us was the amount of stairs to apartment (no lift) particularly for older guests. That said can highly recommend.

Honestly, there was really nothing that I could think of negatively that I could write about this booking. Great location, great host/communicator, reasonably priced for the location. For us it was an awesome vacation. Clean and property was exactly as described. If you have difficulty getting up and down stairs, then maybe not the place for you, but then again, Edinburgh would not be a good place to visit if you don't want to climb stairs/hills. Overall, we completely enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful time! Everything is clean and well maintained and it is the perfect Edinburgh location. There are lots of steps to get to the condo- but you can’t go anywhere in Edinburgh without climbing some steps!

Very good

Great location, very nice apartment right in the center of everything. Would love an elevator in the building but not a huge deal. Would book again. We found the key box with just minor delay, but would advise future guests, when standing in the street and facing Café Nero, the key box is down the small alley directly to the left of the restaurant(host has a picture of the alley entrance in his check-in info)… Thanks to host and we may be back again some day. Enjoyed our stay.

Edinburgh visit

The property was beautiful, impressive size, clean, big windows, fantastic location. Property manager was responsive and helpful. We were not aware that the flat was many levels up with no elevator at booking, was a challenge for our senior parent. Nevertheless we would definitely recommend this rental for able bodied folks who want to be in the heart of the Edinburgh action!

Great Location for trip to Edinburgh

Stayed two nights while we explored Old Town Edinburgh. Excellent location. Taxi can drop off right out front of the apartment. Accommodations we clean and comfortable. There is 5 flights of stairs to climb but it was manageable. Very close to everything. Coffee shop right downstairs. Apartment did not have a hair dryer or bath products (shampoo/body wash) so need to bring your own other than that it was a spectacular space.
