We had a really lovely stay - the flat was in good condition, with all the amenities you'd expect. It's a great spot and, as we already knew Edinburgh well, a good location to walk to touristy spots and the university.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beds, kitchen and clean rooms. The flat is a traditional Edinburgh property, so it does have a unique musty character that can be more noticeable if fresh air isn’t circulating. We appreciate your comments and hope to host you again!

Loved this cute rental. Personality and the location for our walking family was super next to the park and not far from the tourist areas. The apartment had enough personal space to work easily for our family of 5. The bath tub shower curtain was something you had to pay attention to as water might easily leave the tub but that was not a huge deal.

Nice place to stay with a family

The flat was very family friendly. The yard was a great hit with my 10 year old daughter. The lay out was good. There is a store a block away, coffee shops and parks. It’s a bit far to walk from city center but the area is really nice and quiet. It was a pleasant experience. The check in and check out was super quick and easy.

Appartement spacieux dans quartier paisible

Bon séjour ! Nous avons apprécié cet appartement spacieux dans ce quartier paisible, avec le charme de l'ancien. Un petit cadeau de bienvenue et quelques jeux pour les enfants auraient été apprécié pour se sentir encore mieux accueillis ! Une attention particulière serait de réaliser un nettoyage approfondi des tapis et rideaux, qui contenaient beaucoup d'acariens, et nous ont provoqué des allergies. Cela rendrait le séjour encore plus agréable !

Perfect location for Edinburgh

The property is in a perfect location for exploring Edinburgh. Beds are super comfortable and having a garden attached to the property is a wonderful bonus. The only minor niggle would be the TV that uses a Amazon prime TV stick so you are unable to watch live TV on channel 4 or 5. But the TV stick does work perfectly.

Sehr netter aufmerksamer Kontakt, ideal für Familien, verkehrsgünstig und ruhig

Die Wohnung liegt in einem Wohnviertel ca. 20 Min zu Fuß von der Royal Mile und hat zwei Bus-Verbindungen 2 Fußweg Min. entfernt. Neben den 4 Betten (sleep 5) gibt es noch 2 Schlafsofas. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, der Esstisch reicht für 5. Für englische Verhältnisse eine großzügige Wohnung. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Good experience, not perfect, but would recommend

Excellent Master bed, location provides easy access for coffee, wine, food, bus routes, parks and taxi, friendly neighbors and kid friendly shared garden area with cats, dogs and birds. Upholstered furniture is older and not very comfortable, especially the main couch in the sitting area. Unit smelled a bit from stale air, but remedied by leaving front and back doors open for a few minutes each time we arrived back from the city. Unit appeared very clean. Shower a bit challenging, but excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water. Tiny kitchen well organized and well stocked with equipment. We used this place to visit Edinburgh, but the location is equally well suited as a base for day trips into the countryside. Easy parking.
