Wonderful Stay in the Heart of Edinburgh!We had a fantastic two-night stay in this lovely flat! The communication was truly above and beyond, with our point of contact being incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating throughout. The location couldn't have been better—right on the Royal Mile, with everything Edinburgh has to offer just steps away. The flat itself was exceptionally clean, the rooms were spacious, and everything was comfortable and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Edinburgh. We would happily stay here again!

It was a little tough to get the luggage up the narrow circular staircase. The location was excellent and very comfortable for two retired couples.

Very smooth experience. Seamless check in, I could not spot another area of town I’d rather stay, stairs up to the unit were not nearly as bad as I thought from other reviews. Owner had great communication. I’d recommend to family and friends. Just walk up cockburn from Waverly train station to the unit with luggage, don’t do the close steps!

This flat is the absolute best! Yes, there are two flights of windy stairs to get up, but it is definitely worth it. Right on the Royal Mile! The beds are very comfy. And the host was readily available for any questions that we had. I’m already ready to book my second trip.

I was very clean and very easy to contact owner who would quickly respond. There were many shops and restaurants right out the front door. It would have been nice to know that there were 3 flights of narrow winding stairs. It was not easy for anyone with knee or walking limitations. Over all it was great.
