Great location, close to everything. The apartment has all you need for a good stay. The bed is very nice, it was very well appreciated after a day of walking and exploring the city. Very comfortable space. There are a few stairs but that is normal in these type of apartments in downtown.

Many great things about this property and the people working there. It’s obvious they care and invest in the property. Hoping they can upgrade the chairs to be more comfortable. Would recommend for others.

Amazing location, just perfect for a home base to see the city. Right on the Royal Mile with immediate access to the castle and the history of the old city. I stayed here with my son and it was clean, convenient, and very safe. The management was super fast to respond to any inquiries we had. No complaints whatsoever.

Our Edinburgh Stay

After a couple minor hiccups on arrival, the property was excellent. The stairs up to unit were not for the faint of heart, especially with luggage. The windows overlook the Royal Mile so some sound but we didn't mind. Perfectly located for exploring Old Town with New Town just down the hill. Overall impression, absolutely perfect for those who want to be in the "heart of the experience of Old Town.

comfortable, clean and central to most places to visit and explore in the city. would highly recommend this place and will be visiting Edinburgh in the future to explore more outside the city. being central in the royal mile the noise wasn't what we were expecting especially bin trucks collecting rubbish early hours in the morning. also the apartment is quite a bit of steps up and down which was fine for us.

Hi Melissa, Thank you so much for your kind words and high rating. I'm thrilled you found the apartment comfortable, clean, and in a great location for exploring Edinburgh.

It was really cold when we checked in. We had to study how to increase the temp, we weren't able to do it right so opted to use the fan heater. The internet was mostly off. At first , I tried to call the management, but it was still on and off. In the end, I used my data. Other than that, location was perfect, and the apartment was nice.

Problems getting in

Getting access to the property was convoluted and confusing. We had to access another internet site and sort through advertisements to find what we needed. It still was difficult to find the door and use the key. Not the typical VRBO experience.

Old Town Flat

The flat in old town was in a good location and furnished nicely. Our immediate reaction was that the place was cute and would be a fun place to stay. However, the problem was the maintenance or lack of it with the management company. The hot water system kept shutting off, the washer/dryer was broken, dishes and utensils in the cupboard weren’t washed and sheets were missing for the futon. The maintenance company was not very helpful resolving our problems with the mechanicals.
