The property was a bit tired and we did find a bit of dust but was conscious that it was an old building, it was a lovely setting with great views of the castle, it was central to the royal mile and so made getting around easy

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh. This property was clean, well maintained and best of all right in the center of it all. For our first time in Edinburgh it provided the perfect base at the top of the royal mile for us to explore

Property was exactly as expected. Comfortable beds, convenient location and a responsive host. We had some challenges getting in as the instructions sent did not match the lockbox setup currently in place but the host was very responsive and we got the issue sorted quickly. Property is near a busy area but this was no surprise to us based on other reviews. Pictures were very true to the actual property.

Amazing flat literally at the steps leading up to Edinburgh Castle. The property was bright and clean with incredible views our the large windows where you could drink your morning coffee staring at the castle. Steps away from everything in Old Edinburgh and the Royal Mile. The communication with the host was supurb as well.

The property is literally right next to Edinburgh Castle, to the point where you will see tourists on the stairs outside the window going up and down all day. If that bothers you, stay away, but for me it added to the atmosphere. The property itself was clean and well equipped, good hot water pressure, though they probably should work on the shower door situation, the floor can get a bit damp if you're not careful. Overall, my son and I had a wonderful time!

Location, Location, Location! Literally at the stairs to Edinburgh Castle. Nice living room with views of the castle and historic building across the street. Easy walk 1 min walk to the Royal Mile and very central to anything in Edinburgh. Note the hostel across the street will hold your bags for a small fee if you arrive early.

Great place!

We would definitely stay here again. The view of the castle from the bedroom windows is phenomenal! It’s so close to Victoria street and a bunch of food! We loved it. FYI the property manager contacts you via email not through VRBO. So look out for that!

Host was welcoming, instructions getting to the property were not the most clear and the lock box was very finicky. Once inside, the property was much smaller than the pictures made it seem and quite dated. The beds weren’t the greatest and the property remains very cold constantly even when the heat is running. The location is great but you’ll hear a ton of chatter from people passing by through the night making it hard to sleep through.

First trip to Edinburgh

Property was clean & had all the basics. Stair noise to castle was a little rowdy Friday night with some singing & laughing in the wee hours. But nothing the owners could have done, we had a laugh & were able to go back to sleep. The location was great & communication was top notch.

We really enjoyed our stay at this flat! The location was fantastic - steps away from the Royal Mile and Grassmarket. The only reason I don’t give the property 5 stars is due to some small maintenance issues and complications with check in. The sliding door was broken in the shower and had been removed so the water sprayed onto the floor the whole time you were showering and the latch on the freezer door was broken as well. Nothing that ruined our trip, and the property was very clean otherwise. However, especially regarding the shower door, it seems like it has been in a state of disrepair for quite a while, as there was significant, easily visible water damage to the wall next to the shower. Additionally, you check into the property by obtaining a key from the lockbox on the front of the building, and the pictures showing you what the box looks like and its location are a bit outdated and inaccurate. Would definitely stay here again regardless as the location can’t be beaten, but I am still hopeful that they can improve the ongoing maintenance of the property.

Perfect

The location is perfect. We were able to walk everywhere. Victoria Street, Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's seat...too many beautiful locations to name were right there. We also walked to the bus station to catch a tour outside of the city. The apartment was perfect for us. I'd imagine it could be noisy in the busier seasons but it wasn't too noisy for us. Worked out perfectly. I wanted to stay permanently but unfortunately I had to get back to my normal boring life in the US. I hope to get back to Scotland someday and stay in this same place again.

Great location, was noisy. Disappointed only gave us one towel each for 4 nights, and wanted a fee for more. Let them know coffee machine not working no filter and nothing was done. Very roomy - had everything we needed - average. No washing machine which was disappointing- one room the shutters don’t close properly.

No washing machine

The listing indicated that the property had a washing machine which is why we picked the flat. When we arrived we found out that the washing machine no longer worked :(
