What a delightful apartment - exactly as portrayed on the web site! It is our first VRBO rental and it was a wonderful experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the cheerful window boxes of daffodils and primulas - we were only able to sit outside for 2 days (due to the weather), but we were always able to enjoy them from inside. The apartment was spotless and extremely efficient - everything we could have ever wanted! Thanks for the tea cakes and tea! The apartment was extremely handy to grocery stores, restaurants and the River Leith walk - absolutely lovely! We got in shape by walking (uphill) to Princes and George Street daily - we never used the buses, so I can't comment on their effectiveness. Thanks for a lovely week!

The Garden flat served my needs perfectly on this visit to Edinburgh. I found it quiet, peaceful and therapeutic. I will definitely try to stay here the next time I visit, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I particularly enjoyed the garden (bench needs repair). Thank you so much for everything. (Owners note - bench repaired!).

Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely, sunny garden flat - we have enjoyed ourselves in Edinburgh city, Stockbridge village and Leith & walking around as Spring is nigh! Thanks Astra for making everything so easy from Finland!

Thank you so much for letting us stay at your lovely flat. All of the fun decorating touches made us feel right at home. All electronics, appliances, etc, worked perfectly. I kept looking out the window at your lovely garden area and wishing it was Spring!

Fabulous Hogmanay in Edinburgh! Great city and a great flat to spend time in. Stockbridge is a good base with interesting shops and good food - maxis does great crispy bacon! It wont be our last time!

Have had a great time in Edinburgh. Visit to Britannia well worth it. Weather has been great as well. Good food at Stockbridge Tap, Hamiltons, The Bailie and San MArco. The flat is excellent with everything we needed. Hope to return soon.

We have had a fantastic time in Edinburgh! Stockbridge is lovely with great shops etc. The Garden Flat however has been the highlight of our holiday! We will be coming back soon and recommending this flat to friends. Thank you so much Astra & Avril for a lovely stay for our first time in Scotland. We really have had the best time. Next time will be staying much longer.

I have enjoyed my week. The location is great - quiet but easy to get anywhere else. The friendly village atmosphere of Stockbridge is good. The flat is well equipped and the little extra touches make a big difference. I also appreciated how easy it has been to make arrangements beforehand - emails were always promptly answered.

We have both enjoyed our 1st visit to Edinburgh. The flat is in a fantastic position, the area is lovely. Far too much to see and do in such a short time but the walk up Arthurs Seat, Calton Hill and along the water of Leith are well worth doing. Many thanks!

The flat was perfect and in a superb location. With the February weather being extremely cold it was wonderful to return to the cosy little nest. Many nice touches in the flat..... lovely!
