jean-michel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was the perfect property for 2 people. Kitchen was well-stocked, sofa was comfortable, TV had many channels. Shower was a bit tight, and bed smaller than we expected. It was nice having a washer/dryer in the unit. It is on a quiet side street, only a stone’s throw away from Hanover St. There we found many good restaurants and coffee houses. It is a 5min walk to Princes St, with M&S, a drugstore, other stores, and a ton of bus stops. It is about a 15-20min walk to the Royal Mile. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. It was a bit more expensive than other properties, but we were very pleased. We would stay here again!

Really good apartment and location
Eric, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Property was magnificent clean, very well kept and many aimed. The restaurants along the street are fenomenal so no need to go to the busy part of the town at dinner time. The delicious milk in the fridge tops it all off. Really convenient to have a washing machine that is also a drying machine. Thank you for the tremendous stay!
Ursula, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location, helpful staff, and well-furnished. We spent four nights here and would opt to stay again if we ever return to Edinburgh.
Dale, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great for a solo traveler. Very convenient location but with that came very inconvenient noise during all hours of the night. Could hear people walk past the window as if it was open, and as it's right next to several bars... shouting and screaming of those leaving the pubs. If you don't mind that, excellent location. If you do, bring earplugs.
Aleksandra, 3-night trip

This apartment was perfect for location to everything. Very clean. Washer for clothes. Plus kitchen stocked with coffee and tea.
