Edinburgh Christmas weekend
We came as a family for a pre-Christening weekend and had the most amazing stay in this very central beautiful apartment. We had everything we needed and could reach anywhere in the centre with just a short walk . The apartment was beautifully and tastefully decorated and we very much enjoyed our stay

Excellent location and great apartment
The apartment is in a excellent location right on the edge of the New Town and is a big and comfortable space. The minor downsides were that soap wasn't provided which was a bit odd and inconvenient and the cleaning could have been better (i.e. bathroom drawers hadn't been cleaned), but everything else was great

Beautiful flat in excellent location
Great flat in brilliant city centre location which made walking around Edinburgh very easy. Plus lots of great transport connections. The only room for improvement would be to add some sofa beds to give parties of 4 unrelated/non-coupled adults wishing to stay in the flat the flexibility of having a separate bed each as there are only two beds (although large) in the two bedrooms meaning this rental is best suited for 4 people who would be happy to share the two beds in each room.

Friends weekend in Auld Reekie
The apartment was just what we needed. As described, it is spacious and well-appointed. It is very well situated close to the heart of Edinburgh's New Town but also with easy access to the castle and the Royal Mile. There is a tram stop only a short walk away making it handy for those arriving in the city from the airport. The apartment is just above a Sainsbury's store so that made self-catering very straightforward. The facilities were just what we needed. There is plenty of space in which to unwind. The bedrooms are a good size and the beds were very comfortable. The communication with the property manager was first rate, prompt responses to questions and small matters quickly resolved. We are sure you will enjoy your stay at this wonderful apartment. We certainly hope to return.
