It was like a home away from home - easy to find, great communication from the vendor, check in was effortless, and everything was clean. Being able to do laundry after traveling for more than 2 weeks was the icing on the cake. Excellent value for money - I would stay here again.

Fantastic large apartment with sofa bed. Loads of room would stay again Only issues were lack of blackout blinds (the sun seeped through the edges of the ones used) and the windows were old so lots of street noise filtered through.

We rented the two bedroom apartment and it was very spacious especially considering its location. Never having been in Edinburgh before we were unsure on whether to stay in old or new town and in the end this was the perfect choice. It was located on a quiet street but very walkable to everything. It was also helpful that the property management office is just down the street and we were able to leave our bags there before checking in as our arrival to the city was well before check in. The staff were very helpful and were very quick to respond to any questions. Overall great apartment and would definitely stay there again.

Great Stay

We stayed at this location for three nights in May and we loved it. Space was clean, large and the communication leading up to our stay was also fantastic. We would certainly stay again. Location was very good too. Very close was the tram to the airport and walking to old town was about 10 mins. We felt safe and there were several restaurants nearby that we liked. We did have apartment #7 which was on the top floor, so if you can't carry luggage up several flights, I would be certain to get a lower floor. Also, the doors swing themselves closed in the apartment, but that was not an issue for us at all. Great overall stay.

Central but rather crap

Windows are thin. Was woken up every night of our stay by passers by at all hours of the night. Beds were uncomfortable. Luggage is stored off site at their office, which is inconvenient. But the worst was when after a day out, my son used the toilet & clogged it. There was no plunger in the apartment, no on site alternate toilet to use and no one on site to deal with the issue for over an hour. It being a Sunday night after 5, no shops nearby were open. So I had to walk to the Christmas market to use their public toilets. When the repair man finally came, he said, “sorry it took so long! We have 275 apartments all over the city. I came as quickly as I could.” It was fixed quickly after that, but it is not his fault that the company that employs him has a crap business model. But pay attention when you book.

Even though the apartment was clean and very nicely laid out, the clothes dryer did not work, and I was left with soaking wet clothes as I was leaving. The management company only said that I must have overloaded the dryer, but this is absolutely not true, as it was only a few items and they were very wet. I used the dryer properly and it does not work, just be warned when you stay there that this is an issue.
