Excellent property and is exactly what is advertised. We loved lounging on the balcony and looking at the castle. House was well stocked. Located in a central location. Hosts were available by text and answered almost immediately.We will stay again.

Great location!

We enjoyed staying at this flat. It was close to everything we wanted to do and see. Many great pubs and restaurants close by as well. Would definitely stay again.

Great location and our host Lloyd was very responsive. Well stocked kitchen with goodies left by the host as well. Great views of the castle and in the heart of it all with just about everything within walking distance. It was nice hanging out enjoying some drinks on the rooftop. Also see Ross downstairs at the Shoogley pub as he was friendly and made great drinks.Only thing you should be aware of is that it can be quite noisy out in the alleyway from nightly revelers. Also pack wisely as the stairs leading to the unit are plentiful and it is a spiral suitcase. Other than that I highly recommend.

What a fantastic stay in Edinburgh. The place is perfectly located and makes it easy to get around the city. Apartment is comfy & cozy on a cold winters night - we so enjoyed the view of the castle cozied up by the fireplace. Host was incredibly responsive to our needs. Definitely recommend.

Best place to stay in all of Edinburgh!

This place is truly magical! The location is unbeatable. The castle views from the terrace are absolutely gorgeous, day and night. Very comfortable and clean, perfect for small families. Offers everything you need, including Nespresso! It is in the heard of town, so there will be city noises into the evening, but nothing that white noise didn’t cover up! Highly, highly recommend staying here… hoping that we will be back someday!

Perfect Location and Amazing Views

This listing is exactly as pictured on the site. The apartment is in a very cool part of old-town, a bit outside the main tourist areas to avoid the crowds, but close enough to everything. We found the local pubs and restaurants to be the best in the city. The deck is amazing, and the castle views can't be beat! It is on the third floor up the stairs, but that is typical for these apartments and was not an issue for us. The views are worth it! Beds were very comfortable and we slept very well. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to Edinburgh!

Centrally located - Amazing hosts!

We are still gushing about how wonderful our stay was. Unforgettable location, top-notch hosts, and comfortable accommodations. The view is incredible and the flat is surprisingly quiet despite the location. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

Absolute Best Stay in Edinburgh

I cannot go on enough about this gem of an apartment. Rose Street itself is such a treat, but to have it as your base is a dream! The apartment itself was super clean, well appointed and quaint. We did not want to leave. Not gonna lie…the stairs to the apartment were a challenge for my old body, but very much worth it!!!

The property is in a great location. You can walk to so many places. The outside rooftop space with a view of the castle was the best.

Great stay in Edinburgh

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Edinburgh Rooftop Terrace. Communication with the owner was exceptional. Lloyd reached out to us, to make sure we were in good shape accessing the property and to let us know he was available for any questions. The property was perfect for our brief stay in Edinburgh, along a pedestrian street with many pubs and shops. There are several grocery shops nearby as well. The view of the castle from the terrace is stunning! We were able to walk to all the sites we planned to visit and many restaurants. We would certainly stay here again!

Short Stay

Fantastic property & location with the roof terrace being the star of the show. South facing so if you get the weather like we managed it is a real bonus to be sitting in the sun right in the heart of Edinburgh.

Fantastic apartment in the perfect location

A great property with awesome views right in the heart of the city. We had a lovely week in the apartment- absolutely perfect for a family with older teenagers. It was so nice to not get in the car for a few days and simply explore all the city has to offer on foot. Everything is kitted out well, the terrace was cool - a superb space to chill and soak up the atmosphere all around. Great communication and warm welcome from Lloyd too. Definitely the place to stay to enjoy a relaxing and comfortable city break at any time of the year.
