Edinburgh Ease

This property is a great place to stay if you want walking access to the Royal Mile. The place is tidy with a comfortable kitchen for cooking, great water pressure in the bathrooms, and crisp linens.

Apartment was well equipped for cooking and tea and coffee. Truly appreciated the washer and drying racks. The bathroom is very narrow and the taps were not easy to figure out. Instructions in the rental would be appreciated. Location was really nice and use a parking app for during the day or 24/7 much cheaper than other options.

Clean and convenient

Nice little flat within easy walking distance of Holyrood House and the Royal Mile. Property owner and managers were all quick to respond. Kitchen is well appointed. One caveat: Bathroom is very narrow and water pressure for the shower isn't great, but it's an old building, so not too surprising on either count. Overall a nice spot and good value in a city with expensive accommodation.

Great location

Initial impressions of the stairwell are not great but the flat itself is spacious, bright and clean. The sofa bed in the living room was not very comfortable to sit on, the other sofa was fine. Beds were comfortable. A few more wine glasses would be good as lots of pint glasses but only 2 wine glasses in the cupboard! Super location, within easy walking distance of most major attractions in Edinburgh. Local shops handy too. Thank you!

Central apartment with everything you need

We stayed with 6 people at this central apartment in Edinburgh. It was clean and it looked like it has been renovated recently. The communication was without any issues and the check-in was very nice as we have been welcomed personally and showed around. Unfortunately, our lock broke one day before our arrival so we had to leave the apartment quickly after our arrival for a few hours so the lock could be replaced meanwhile. We received this information as we arrived at the apartment and it would had been nice to know about this a little earlier. However, the rest of the communication was wonderful and very friendly. The bathroom is - as described by the owner - indeed very tiny so it is not very comfortable for someone with e.g. long legs to sit on the toilet. The sleep sofa was alright for 2 nights but if you have back issues, it is not comfortable. The 2 other beds were nice. All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much and would stay there again.

Objekt hatten wir uns anders vorgestellt. Die Bilder zeigten einen Zustand der Wohnung, den sie nicht mehr hatte. Für zwei Wochen wäre die Wohnung eine Enttäuschung aber für die zwei Übernachtungen völlig i.O. die Nähe zur Altstadt war super und nicht zu vergessen, sauber war die Wohnung schon. Danke dafür

About the host

Hosted by Tamsin Gallagher

Host profile image
Although we now live abroad, we met at university in Edinburgh, and so this city remains close to our hearts. We had many fun days and nights in Edinburgh and like to return regularly to continue to explore the city with our family. We have seen many sides of life in Edinburgh over the years and the wealth of activities and attractions the city offers.

Why they chose this property

Our desire to return regularly to edinburgh prompted us to purchase a property here. This apartment was spacious, with traditional features but with the potential for modernisation. It now has a contemporary and airy feel. It is close to all of Edinburgh's main attractions, to enable us to use it as a base for our family, and to share with others who also wish to explore the city.

What makes this property unique

This is a bright, airy and modern apartment with traditional features. The location makes it easily accessible to all of Edinburgh's attractions, with or without a car.
