My family loved the Penthouse apartment! The location was excellent, we were so close to everything in Old Town. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The beds were very, very comfortable! So much so I had a hard time getting my family up to explore the city. Also the communication with the property managers was excellent! We would highly recommend the apartment!Thank you for a wonderful stay in Edinburgh.

We absolutely loved this place. Accommodations were clean and very comfortable. The location is great. Right on the Royal Mile within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. It was a bit noisy. The pipers play right outside the building but I loved hearing them. Our host was lovely, very accommodating and responsive. I definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely apartment overall.
The size of the apartment is great, location was good.

Great location, plenty of space to stretch out after a long day. Wi-Fi was slow but that wasn’t super important. Good beds and bathrooms. Nice balcony.

Great location in the heart of Edinburgh's old town. Well equipped apartment, tastefully decorated and furnished. Clean but getting tired, and could do with some maintenance (lots of scuff marks on walls and on furniture), so we felt this wasn't the premium offering that was advertised. Apartment seems to be managed by separate Agency MySayInn, which seems to be badly managed and suffers from poor reviews....explaining the clumsy joining process and lack of response when we tried to highlight various maintenance issues etc.

Great location bit not luxury
The rooms are as pictured and the location was in the heart of it all.The place was comfortable but I would not call it a penthouse (it was an attic conversion) and would not call it luxury.I would say it’s cozy and convenient.We had to go up 5 flights of stairs which was ok- the smell in the stairwell was not. The carpet has seen its better days. I am ok with patina, but I was expecting a higher level of quality.For the same price , we could have stayed in a ritzy hotel, which was disappointing. Also, a trend of only 1 roll of TP per bathroom seems to be the norm in vacation rentals in Scotland, that wasn’t enough for 6 people over 3 days.It was my first time there and so I based my decision on the description and pictures.I would recommend it at a price point that reflects the overall experience, not as it was presented. I would not have paid as much for this place had I’d known the full picture.

We came to Edinburgh for 5 nights at the beginning of the Fringe festival. We booked this stay for the location because we went to the Royal Military Tattoo and we liked how close it is to Edinburgh Castle. While we liked the location for some things, if I were to stay again I would not stay on the Royal Mile! It was very loud and the apartment was rather hot and stuffy. One of the windows didn't close properly, either. If you are coming from the United States, there is a washing machine, but there is no clothes dryer. It is above an Indian Restaurant and so it also had a unique smell that we were not fond of. We did like being able to spread out in the 3 bedrooms.

Hardly "Luxury". The furniture is cheap- like that of a 'show-house', and the sheets aren't natural fibres. There was a ball of human hair in one bathroom, and the door to the small balcony was locked- emails; phone calls; texts; received no reply! There were no toiletries of any kind provided. Caveat emptor!

We understand that there were issues that arose during your stay, and we regret that we were unable to provide you with a satisfactory resolution. We are constantly working to improve our services and your feedback will help us to identify areas where we can make improvements.
The balcony normally opens by pressing the button and sliding to the side the door we don't have a key to lock it and our property manager checked and was working when you checked out. As for the hair in the bathroom we wish you would show proof of this during your stay so we could fix it. We were responsive. Lastly for toiletries are toilet paper, conditioner, shampoo and shower gel and we have it in all properties including during your stay.
