The location and comfort of the apartment were stellar! We were right in the middle of the Royal Mile, within an easy walk to all the sites in that area. Bookers should be aware that this apartment is up two steep flights of narrow spiral stairs from ground level.

Great location on the royal mile.

Perfectly Located

If you want to be at the hub of everything Edinburgh has to offer, choose this flat. The bedrooms are on the courtyard, so even though the living area faces one of the busiest streets in the city, you can sleep quietly. The kitchen is well stocked, too.

The apartment is quite nice (as pictured), very clean and comfortable. Location on Royal Mile is excellent - only drawback is the noise (complete with bagpipes). Fortunately, bedrooms are at the back, away from the street. Narrow, winding stairs up to the apartment could be an issue for elderly or very young, but no problem otherwise. A couple of fans would be nice for more comfortable sleep on warm summer nights. Overall, an excellent apartment, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The apartment was clean and quiet, and we could not have found a more perfect central location. We enjoyed having an apartment over a hotel- more space to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Thank you for a special family stay in Edinburgh!

The property was pretty much perfect! The stairs up to the flat were not so easy with 50lb suit cases, which was totally our fault for over packing. Everything you could need was there for cooking. The space was clean and simple. The shower was great, just push a button to turn on and the temp was perfect. It would get a bit warm in there but it was mid July. Just open the windows and in 10 minutes it was nice and cool. You are just steps from all the life of Edinburgh. I hope to rent this property again in the future.
