  Wonderful accommodation, far above our expectations, better than a First Class hotel, and fitted with all we could possibly have needed.So convenient within walking distance to Princes Street. We have been treated royally. D. Fee, Canada. The accommodation exceeded all expectations, everything the website said and more. We were blown away. Everything was perfect. The flat was beautiful, the area is wonderful and the owners were extremely delightful and helpful. M. Morrow, USA You've arranged a living space that allowed us to glide effortlessly into our stay in Edinburgh. Spotlessly clean apartment with all the comforts of home. An 11 out of 10. Extraordinarily fine accommodation. P. Fovall, USA 'Fantastic apartment. The accommodation had everything we needed and was a pleasure to spend time there. The service well exceeded expectations' Pentecost family, New Zealand

  The penthouse was a fabulous apartment for us. We travelled with 3 children (12, 11, 8 yrs) who all were comfortable and were able to make themselves at home. Everything was spotless in the apartment, very comfortable beds, large selection of movies and a fully-equipped kitchen. We couldn't have asked for more. It was easy to get a cab to and from the downtown core. Great vacation!

  Apartment was as described if not better, it is spacious and very clean. It is very well equipped . There are Tv's in all the bed rooms and the wifi was excellent. Parking was easy and as the apartment was so central you could just leave your car and walk to Princess Street. There are lots of places to eat and buy groceries within a five minute walk and a large cinema complex nearby. The owner was easy to deal with and very quick at answering any emails. I would have no hesitation in staying here again and recommending to friends.

  I booked this apartment for a reunion of 8 girlfriends and to celebrate a special birthday and couldn't have been happier. The penthouse was beautifully presented with everything you could possibly need for a trouble free stay. Ideally located near to Edinburgh city centre and all it has to offer but very quiet too. The owners bent over backwards to ensure our stay was comfortable and we enjoyed our lovely time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Apartment to anyone else and hope to return next year.

  The owners' personal and prompt attention from the moment of inquiry promised an outstanding experience; we were not disappointed. The size, layout, and facilities were perfect for our group of eight, which ranged in age from 10 months to nearly 70. Nearby markets--from small shops to gourmet fare--as well as excellent carry-out options within a five-minute walk made it possible to have nearly all meals in the well-appointed Penthouse without missing out on local flavors and culture. The middle generation also had a great night out within easy walking distance. The nearby playground and easy bus to the zoo were a plus; the walk to Holyrood and Royal Mile was pleasant for those who like to explore on foot. The owners go out of their way to make guests comfortable--and even pampered.

  A clean, spacious, well-designed, tastefully & contemporary furnished apartment awaits you. You are staying in the family's second home and you know it by the amenities, household & linen supplies, appliances, furniture, cleanliness, and maintenance. We appreciated the few necessary, laminated instructions (especially for the washer-dryer combination). The owners are the nicest people I have never met: They provided help to us, for a medical issue, that certainly was beyond our imaginations. The thoughtful, helpful, accommodating owners combined with their quality lodging created an excellent and exceptional experience for us.

  Far more than just owners of The Penthouse, these very kind and gracious Scots make every possible effort to ensure that their guests have a wonderful time in a country of which they are tremendously proud, and about which they are incredibly knowledgeable. Prior to our journey they provided us every possible resource imaginable, from transportation to cultural, academic to culinary. They ensured that we were connected with ground transportation in Edinburgh, that we knew which plays were on in which theaters, how to secure time slots to see the Giant Pandas at the Edinburgh Zoo, which restaurants were kid-friendly, and the daily opening hours for the museums. The Penthouse is very well-appointed, with all the amenities we needed. Comfortable living spaces with loads of windows and great light. Six of us could gather at the end of the day, stretch out and relax together and talk, read or watch television. The eat-in kitchen is wonderful, seating six at the table easily for breakfast with great morning light pouring in. The floor plan is terrific, especially for families with children - no one is too far away. The location was also terrific. Right in the heart of it all, a two-minute walk to the grocery, another two-minutes to Leith Walk, five minute's walk to the theater, and everything in the City accessible either by foot or bus (which was moments away from the flat). My kids really enjoyed playing in Hopetoun Crescent Park, a minute's walk from the flat. We had a wonderful experience all around.

  ... it generally is not true. Well, let this be the one exception. Pictures from the website set the expectations high, but on entering the penthouse, you'll immediately notice that the penthouse is even better than expected. Luxurious decorated, enough beds, fully equiped kitchen at your disposal, parking space, ... Location is also great. Walking distance from city center and with some good restaurants around the corner. I stayed here for 4 nights with friends for a city/golf trip to Schotland. Don't think we could have found a better location to stay.

  My husband and I brought our children to Edinburg in april 2011. We were looking for an apartment that was conveniently located with all the comforts of home. This place didn't disappoint! It was a little off the beaten path, but with a 5 to 10 minute walk (we had 3 small kids in tow) you had everything you needed within your reach. There were bus lines to take you to any place in the city you wanted to go as well. From planning our trip to our arrival Mr Ewen made us feel welcome. He was in contact before our arrival, making sure we had all the info to give us a fantastic vacation. Once we arrived, the apartment was perfect. There was a large collection of Dvds for the children, some games and a few toys for them as well. He had put some food in the fridge for us so we didn't have to shop immediately after we arrived. We felt very comfortable and relaxed. We had everything we needed to cook dinner at night and make breakfast each morning. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Edinburgh. I don't think you'll find anything better especially for the price.
