This was our favorite place we stayed in our entire 12 day trip. The location was perfect, the apartment was spacious and well designed, and the historic window was the cherry on top. We would definitely stay there again.

Highly recommended, great location

Great stay! Perfect location right off the Royal Mile. Apartment was beautiful and had great personality. The restaurant next door (Larder) was a fantastic way to start the day. I loved how well the automated access actually worked.

Beautiful, spacious and well worth it!

The flat was beautiful! It had everything i needed. It was so spacious and I loved the way the sun would come in through the ornate windows in the morning. It was perfectly centrally located. Close to everything. I only wish i had been staying in Edinburgh longer to enjoy the flat even more.

We had a terrific time in Edinburgh and choosing this place to stay helped in that immensely. The location to central Royal Mile doesn't get much better. The apartment had everything that you could think of. A full kitchen, coffee/teas, lots of linens, etc. Artisan pizza right next door (3 Blind Mice) was suggested by property and was fantastic as well. They will suggest your parking options, but keep that in mind for really ANY property in the Old Town--just an FYI. They have a very polished system for emailing, alerting, info, etc. I reached out to them and was replied to very quickly. Very nice and clean place to stay in a memorable city worth visiting!

Another fantastic stay at the Blackfriars lofts This was our second time spending Christmas here and it was just so perfect! Beautiful apartment with a kitchen and everything needed to make up a lovely Christmas lunch! So clean and literally just off the Royal Mile.

Lovely flat! The bed was very comfortable, which I find to be important when staying in a hotel. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware if you wanted to cook instead of eating out. There were only a few things to complain about. The sofa had a few spots that needed cleaning, it was also extremely uncomfortable, and the shower was very slippery so proceed with caution. I ended up stubbing my toe pretty bad on the drain. Over all though, great property.

Property was very pretty but my suite was on the 3rd floor and my bedroom was on the 4th. The stairs were really too much for me to handle. There should have been some information about this. It was nice to have a full kitchen and the space was quite comfortable. Other than having WAY too many stairs and no elevator, it was an enjoyable stay.

Really lovely space & location. Even though the festival was in mid flow, the road is relatively quiet and we were not disturbed. No microwave & mezzanine bed a little warm in summer, but otherwise perfect!

Awesome location. Close to dozens of good restaurants and bars. Enjoyed the size of the room because everyone had their own space to relax and unwind. The area felt very secure and easy walking distance from most inner city attractions. I will use Linton again on our next Edinburgh vacation
