Super convenient to Leith Walk and old town. The tram stops in front of the flat. It’s a little noisy until later in the evening but not bothersome. Host was very clear with instructions but it was difficult to find with SAT NAV as it put you at the store fronts not the actual road to get to the car park and the flat. Nice place though and very convenient.

This was the perfect location! It was a quick walk to the metro that was an easy ride to the city centre. The place was spacious and clean. It did get a little noisy especially having to keep the window open during the summer but after a day of walking and fun we slept hard. Great food and cafe's very close by. Would stay here again!

Spacious and comfortable

Andrew's property was clean and spacious. The beds and couch were comfortable, and the shower and laundry were easy to operate. The exterior door to building 1 was a little difficult to find, but the place was overall a great crash pad for our time in Edinburgh.

Leith Walk Urban Retreat

This modest 2 bedroom apartment situated us well for our 2 night stay in Edinbugh. Off the center of the bustling city, a 25 minute stroll gained you access to all the sites. Even walkable, was Arthur's Seat and Holyrood where we happened upon the King's helicoptor landing for the annual Garden Party. Magical! Don't let the access from the alley and strret noise concern you. We felt very secure and loved the neighborhood establishments!

Good location near bars restaurants and a supermarket

A lovely clean flat with everything you need. The only negative would be the larger bed rocked every time the other person moved waking you up so we didn’t get much sleep. The kitchen had a good selection of cupboard items including teas and coffee but we couldn’t find a cafetière to use the fresh coffee which was the only thing we would have used. The flat overlooks a busy street which is fine as long as you take earplugs.

What a fabulous apartment! It had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Everything was also spotlessly clean, and the communication and instructions so informative and helpful. Very handy to get around with bus and tram stops directly outside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the apartment exceeded expectations.

This spacious accommodation is a short walk from all the major highlights and well situated for access to public transportation. We enjoyed our stay and our host was very accommodating. One thing you might need to be prepared for is the noise as you will find yourself on a very busy (and at times loud) street - bring ear plugs, but outside of this minor inconvenience we fully enjoyed our stay.

Die Fenster waren undicht und man konnte jedes Gespräch von den vorbeigehenden Passanten hören. Die Böden haben geknarrt. Die Betten haben bei jeder Bewegung gequietscht und die Matratzen waren durchgelegen. Es gab nur eine Matratze und eine Decke für die King-Size-Betten. Das Bad müsste renoviert werden (Klodeckel locker, Silikonfugen schwarz, Tür durch Feuchtigkeit angegriffen) und es fehlte allgemein an Sauberkeit im Bad. In der Küche gab es große Schubladen mit Tee neben Periodenunterwäsche und hingelegten Weingläsern etc. Die Töpfe und der Ofen waren Schmutzig.
