Was easy to find way around Good restaurants close enough to walk and moving around the icity was easy. Place was clean and comfortable. Grocery store was close to find the essentials we needed. Easy to contact the host when we needed to. The only downside was the one shower wasn’t working but we made do. Had a great one day trip to St Andrew’s and again finding the bus was eVery easy. Took the tram to the rugby match and that was great. Again travelling around was very easy. Really enjoyed our time. Thx bz

Location, location, location...by far the strength of the property. Literally adjacent to the Royal Mile, walkable to and from the beautiful sights of Edinburgh. Parked our car and then only used it for some out-of-town activities. Our host was gracious and earnest. We had a couple of minor issues that were communicated about and repaired with sincerity from the property owners. Alistair, (did I spell that right?) our host, checked in with us often.My wife and I traveled with another couple, and our stay was a whopping 11 nights. Would return...and recommend.

Family vacation

This flat was perfect for a family vacation focused on touring the city. Located in easy walking distance to the Royal Mile and close enough to the train station to walk with roller bags, we couldn’t have asked for better. The hosts are also very responsive.

The apartment was fantastic and in a great location. However, we were not advised that the road accessing the flat from the Royal Mile was closed. As I informed the host, I am elderly and have mobility issues, the road closure caused numerous problems with my use of Uber which I needed to explore the city.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jul 2025
It was a pleasure hosting Lucille. We weren't aware of her mobility issues until after she arrived. The arch to the Royal Mile remains open to pedestrians and only temporarily to vehicles. Taxis/Ubers still have access to the Royal Mile via Carlton Road (1 minute extra journey time) with a pickup possible at the door. Any guests or potential guests with mobility issues please contact us to discuss how best to navigate the city.
