Royal mile experience

Great place to stay while in Edinburgh. Location was fantastic in the middle of the old town area. It was a challenge taking up suitcases two floors using a spiral staircase but we managed. The key system is a little tricky but no problem after we understood it. Never did figure out how to let guests in with a buzzer? We definitely would like to rent again. Owner is very easy to deal with. We still give it 5 stars.

Beautiful flat in amazing location

Shahid and Nina's Royal Mile flat is a really lovely and spacious two bedroom sanctuary that couldn't be better placed to enjoy Edinburgh. Although located right on the most popular street in the city, it is very quiet due to the road being closed to traffic much of the time. Instead, you mainly hear the happy sound of street performers, bagpipers and appreciative audiences. The flat's beds are super-comfy and kitted out with high-quality linen. The towels are fluffy and plentiful. There is a big fridge-freezer and all the bits and bobs you really need to cook up nice things during your stay. Can't wait to visit again! Thank you, Shahid and Nina!

Incredible spot!

So it's hard to believe how magical this place was!!!!! Spacious, close to everything actually in the middle of everything but I never felt on display. Our little gate and stairwell was very private. The stairs were pretty serious but we managed our heavy luggage up and down fine. The bed was super comfortable. The "fireplace"(heater) was fun. Our host was wonderful. Oh and right next door had wonderful coffee! I highly recommend!!!

The owner is very friendly and responsive. The unit had a washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave and most of all the shower had endless hot water. The location was perfect; however, the stairs are not easy, (I am 78) but that is what is to be expected for that part of the city. Overall, the apartment was clean and coinvent and we were pleased.

Wonderful Edinburg Retreat

This is a wonderful property in the heart of Edinburg in the middle of the Royal Mile. We traveled with our 21 and 13 year old daughters and it was perfect - even had fans for the summer weather. The front of the apartment allows views and sounds from the Royal Mile if you choose to open windows- while the back rooms are quiet for sleeping. Property owners were amazing - called to make sure we’d gotten settled ok. Highly recommend and would stay again - even with getting the luggage up the stairs!

Clean, quiet, and in the perfect location

The apartment was clean and quiet, and we could not have found a more perfect central location. We enjoyed having an apartment over a hotel- more space to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Thank you for a special family stay in Edinburgh!

Perfect location

This flat is in the ideal location to explore the Royal mile, and is very close to the train station. Just know it is an uphill climb from Waverly! The flat is gorgeous and comfortably appointed, and we enjoyed opening our front windows to the fun of High street in the evenings and got to see a dance group and hear bagpipes. We’ll stay again, for sure!

Old Town Edinburgh

This property was in a perfect location to view all the tourist sites in Edinburgh simply by walking out the front door. There was plenty of room for three of us and we enjoyed sitting in the living room after a busy day and before heading out for the evening. It was surprisingly quiet inside the apartment even though it is in the middle of the Royal Mile. The steps up to the apartment are like what you would experience climbing a lighthouse but you are in a very old building. Meeting other visitors on the stairs with luggage was amusing. I was a little confused which lock to put the key into when we arrived but Shahid, the host, answered my phone call immediately. He was also very helpful with dinner suggestions and the travel to the back to the airport. I would be very happy to stay here again!

Excellent location, host and unit

Wonderfully location in the middle of the Royal Mile. Can walk to everything. Easy bus ride from airport to Waverly station and 10-12 minute walk. Easy checkin/get key. Yes the stairs are a bit steep and circular but a non issue for us. Unit is perfect for 4 people. Beds were super comfortable. Grocery store around the corner. We loved having the windows open to hear the bagpipes and hustle and bustle.

Perfect location

This location is perfect right on the royal mile. Be aware if you’re coming from the train station the gps will take you to a cut through that has lots of step outdoor steps. The steps up to the apartment can also be difficult to navigate with luggage. If you’re not a sound sleeper you will hear people walking up the royal mile in the wee hours of the morning coming home from pubs. The home was very clean. Great open floor plan with the living room and kitchen. 2 double beds were perfect for myself and a friend in the other room. Laundry facilities in the apartment were an issue for us. It is a washer/dryer all in one machine which we are not familiar with coming from America. The washer was not hooked up properly which the owner took care of fairly quickly. However the dryer part of the machine also did not work properly which we didn’t discover until late at night on our last night. We spent a considerable amount of time through the night into early morning trying to dry our clothes by wringing them with towels and using the hairdryer and iron. I was disappointed that the owner did not offer any compensation for our troubles especially since I asked prior to booking if they had a clothes dryer. Overall a good stay.

Perfect place, perfect host, perfect location

If you want to truly be in the heart of Old Town Edinburgh, feel the charm and the vibe, but enjoy modern amenities in a lovely flat literally overlooking the Royal Mile, this should be atop your list. Our two-night stay kicked off our time in Scotland, and it could not have been a better beginning. Host was very quick to reply to inquiries, helpful and professional. Place was more than tidy, cute, and welcoming. We loved it - and we think you would, too.

Fab location overlooking the Royal Mile

A very comfortable apartment with a grand view of the Royal Mile. Despite its central spot, it is quiet, as the windows block almost all of the street noise. The bathroom has been nicely redone with instant hot water in the shower, and my only complaint was the limited space to put toiletries and such in the bathroom. The owner was highly responsive to a couple of emails, replying almost immediately. The only caution for potential renters is that the flat is up a set of very old circular stone steps. It is a bit precarious, but there are handrails. But if someone can’t carry their bags up circular steps, they should look elsewhere. The rail station is only about five minutes walk away, straight down Fleshmarket Close. You can’t get a better location than this.
