Quiet neighborhood with everything you could need also within walking distance. Steven was a great host. Would certainly look at renting again if we were back in Edinburgh.

    Lovely place to stay

    After a warm welcome by Reta, we (parents & 2 teenage girls) had a lovely stay in this cosy, well-equipped and clean appartment. It is an ideal place to relax after a visit to the busy center of Edinburgh. It is situated just outside the center in a very safe and quiet area. There are plenty of small shops, pubs and restaurants in the neighbourhood and a large supermarket (Waitrose) around the corner with fresh bread in the morning. Visiting the center of Edinburgh can easily be done by bus (busstop is a 5 minutes walk away, waiting time at most 10 minutes). In short: great place to stay!
    Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
    Hello Hans, We worked out that it must be you who wrote the kind report (two teenage girls!!). Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review for us and for leaving the apartment so clean and tidy. We really appreciated this. Just to let you know, john performed an operation on the china parrot with some superglue and he looks just fine again. Back on his perch as before. It was lovely to meet you and we hope that we will see you again. Kindest regards Reta and John

    A wonderful aprtment in lovely Morningside

    We love Morningside and with the efficient and frequent city buses, all of Edinburgh is virtually at your doorstep. Also, it is so convenient to have the Waitrose grocery store just a block away and, of course, Canny Man's pub nearby. John, Reta and Steven are all very friendly and accommodating and helpful as landlords. There was a small building problem we merely mentioned during our stay and they were right on top of it! This is a really nice apartment with comfortable accommodations - and being on the ground floor is a bonus. Highly recommended!
    Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
    Thank you for your kind posting. We are glad that we were able to solve the bath problem right away and thank you for tellings us. We would not have picked it up just when we were there to clean. We love the Morningside area too, and would love to welcome you back. Christmas festivities are well underway in Edinburgh with the |German Market, two icerinks etc. Saw a heart warming thing yesterday. A girl on the ice was pushing a mentally handicapped wheelchair user along the ice in front of her. He was ecstatic with joy. Brilliant to see.

    A very neat, clean place. Also very comfortable, and close to the city Centre.

    We will be back in a few days to spend six more days here. It is a wonderful apartment, and a great area. If we are ever back in Scotland, this is where we will stay. We do have one suggestion: we were ten minutes late and received a parking ticket. The parking authority said the owners could apply for a certain number of free parking spots per year. We are not sure what would be involved, but it would save a lot of hassle. Other than that minor problem, this is a great place to stay. Thank you. Vern and Sheila. John and Pat

    Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
    Thank you for your lovely review folks. What a pity your stay was marred by the parking fine. If we were residents in the area we would have those passes, but because we are considered to be a business, i.e. providing guest accommodation, we do not have access to the passes the parking attendant was telling you about. In the apartment there is a list of cheaper parking and longer stay parking in the area, and outside the apartment is free for Saturday and Sunday - I wish we could do more. Parking fines are so annoying and once the ticket is produced, you have to appeal and have good reason not to pay.

    Perfect base for exploring Edinburgh

    A lot of thought has gone into making this apartment the perfect place for a holiday in Edinburgh, from the high quality furnishings and decor, to the well-equipped kitchen and the thoughtful and informative information folder. The flat is in the ideal location; Morningside is an individual and distinctive neighbourhood, with lots of interesting independent shops, restaurants and bars. It's a leisurely walk into town, or a short inexpensive cab ride. There are also frequent buses along the main road. It's much better value, more comfortable and flexible than a hotel, and everything you need is a very short walk away. We really enjoyed spending a weekend here, and as regular visitors to Edinburgh, we are planning to return in the not-too-distant future.

    Just a quick email to say what a treat it was to stay in your accomodation in Morningside. Great location near bus route, shops etc. The property was very inviting, clean and furnished to the highest standard. We particularly liked the quality of the sheets and towels! You have thought of lots of little things that make it a real home from home. John was so helpful on arrival even though we were later than planned - sorry again. We look forward to our next visit.

    Great location and ideal apartment

    We had a great stay in this apartment. We're a family of 4 with two young kids. The apartment matches the description, is very clean and has everything you need. Reta was very friendly and made sure we had everything, even supplying some toys to keep our 2 year old occupied! The location is ideal in a quiet street, with supermarkets, various interesting shops, cafes, restaurants and a cinema a few minutes walk. There are many regular buses to and from central Edinburgh and other areas around town. Its also relatively central so a pleasant 30 minute walk through Bruntsfield and down through "The Meadows" to the main tourist spots in Edinburgh such as the High Street and Castle etc.

    They are a lovely family, and it was a pleasure to give them toys for the kids, we have grandchildren and their toys are available - we can cater for all ages, even grown up kids.

    Wonderful place in a wonderful city

    We loved this flat. It was very clean and well equipped with just everything you can think of (even a dish washer). The Landloards are very friendly, uncomplicated and really hospitable. The flat has 2 sleeping rooms with double beds, a bath room, a kitchen and a living room with books, magazines and a TV etc. You can easily walk to the city centre of Edinburgh - or take one of the direct buses (its only a few stops to the most beautiful places of Edinburgh). The area itself is very pretty, clean and there is a big supermarket just a few steps from the house. For all those heading to Edinburgh, it could be the chance of staying at a lovely flat with really friendly landloards. A enjoyable citybreak!
    Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
    Thank you Hanna. We loved having you and your three friends in Edinburgh. It is good to know that you liked our apartment and lovely city and enjoyed what it has it offer. The new apartment we told you about, in the New Town, should be ready in November. We are spending a lot of time getting the furnishings and equipment just right - and I'm loving pulling it all together.

    About the host

    Hosted by Steven MacLennan

    Host profile image

    Why they chose this property

    We chose this apartment primarily for its location. Situated in the Morningside area of Edinburgh it has all the amenities close by that any self catering guest would need. Morningside is a vibrant area with many shops, bar, restaurants, theatre and cinema. The apartment is in a quiet street a few minutes walk from the main road that runs through Morningside. This is services by many buses that all pass through the city centre within 10 minutes. Alternatively guests can choose to stroll through the leafy streets and across the Meadows Park and into the Old Town area of Edinburgh. This takes around 30 minutes to walk. Many of our returning guests prefer to remain in the Morningside area for a few days of their stay and soak up the local atmosphere.
