Stunning Apartment Close To Edinburgh City Centre

This apartment worked great for a family of 8. The elevator was great for those of us who couldn't do that many stairs. The pool was fun for those wanting a refreshing dip. The kitchen was easy to cook in. There were two grocery stores within walking distance. Our only complaints were that the washer and dryer took hours and hours to get laundry done and some of the mattresses were pretty tired and saggy. Enjoyed heated towel racks and the many linens/towels there were for us to use. All in all a great place for a home base to see Edinburgh and nearby!

Overall I would say I have no regrets on renting this apartment. I had minor issues but nothing complaining about to discourage people from renting. Nothing is perfect! I would recommend this place to anyone. Great location, secure, clean!

The place was pretty well as presented. Clean and ready for us on time. Property manager, Audrey, was terrific. She brought us some basic breakfast food and was always quickly on the spot to solve any problems.

The location is about 15 minute taxi ride to the castle and away from the hustle of that very touristy area. Plenty of restaurants and groceries with a few blocks.

My only complaint is the owner refused to provide the address in advance of our stay because "we have had people send family/friends over to check the place out which disturbs other guests". We were trying to coordinate a tour company picking us up and without the address, we were left hanging. I was promised the details of address and check-in process 14 days in advance of our stay. Nothing arrived so I left multiple emails for owner and received no response. I started thinking perhaps I had been duped and there was no place actually in existence! Very stressful because I was already part way into my vacation and had no details for our place in Edinburgh! Finally called vrbo who called owner and she promised immediate action. It still took one more reminder call to owner before I had the address and check-in info - just three days before we were to arrive. This was completely unnecessary waste of my worry and my time and should have been attended to by the owner long beforehand. The place was very nice and Audrey was great, but I did not appreciate the runaround experience with the owner.

We had a lovely stay in this apartment. It was nice and clean and close to a little shop, some bars and restaurants. It was great that it came with a parking space and we were able to pay for an extra one which was no problem. We struggled to get ready in some of the rooms because there were no accessible plug sockets (only behind beds). Otherwise, everything in the apartment was great and it had plenty of plates etc for when we were making breakfast. On the last day when we were due to be checking out at 11am, the next guests turned up with Audrey (who cleans the apartment) at 10:30. She asked whether it would be OK for them to leave their bags, however, they were already waiting outside with all their suitcases. They all came into the apartment to leave their bags in a room and stayed for around 10 minutes chatting about the procedure of door codes. It would have been good to have been given more notice about this as it was difficult for people to continue getting ready to leave the apartment as they were in one of the bedrooms, which still had her personal belongings out. We would have preferred if the next guests needed early check in then they either wait till 11am when we left or only Audrey came into the apartment to bring their bags. Everything else was great and Audrey was really helpful throughout the stay.

Very nice exactly as described
