The location was great! Close to all the places tourists might want to go, but not so close as to be noisy. The host was really responsive - we had some issues figuring out the temperature controls and they responded immediately and took action. The rooms were small, but everything was clean and had all the amenities we needed.
Clean and nicely appointed, great location, easy access to many sites within walking distance. Laundry available in the apartment. Great little restaurant around the corner serving breakfast lunch and dinner called Richmond cafe. A couple of market places to buy some grocery and snack items within close walking distance. Really enjoyed our stay there.
We had a great stay at this wonderful flat. It was very clean, well equipped, and very close to all the sites to see on Edinburgh. It was so convenient to get out the door and a mere five minute walk to downtown. This place was great!
Really enjoyed staying here! The location can't be beat. The flat was perfectly located for the Fringe, at the epicenter of several Fringe hubs. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, grocery/convenience stores, etc. all within a few blocks walk. Highly recommend Origin Coffee and Lighthouse Books. The Royal Mile, the Castle, and Arthur's Seat were also close by. Nothing is really more than a 20-30 minute walk tops from here!The space isn't huge but was very nice and had everything we needed (i.e. enough towels, hair dryer, iron, etc.). It's on the ground floor. We were 4 adults and we did totally fine here. Excellent shower/sink water pressure and hot water. Heating was also great - we ended up turning off most of the radiators as it gets warm easily. Having a washer was a bonus, we were able to pack less and wash throughout our stay (drying racks were available). Beds were comfortable. The room with the double bed is smaller than the two single beds room - we were two adults with two large suitcases in the room with the double bed and it was quite tight to move around. The single beds room has a closet as well. The single beds room faces the street, so if you have the window open, you will hear some street noise.The hosts were extremely communicative and friendly, and even let us check in a little early as soon as the flat was ready. Thank you to the hosts! A wonderful stay overall. I'd be more than happy to stay here again.
This flat was a great location within walking access to a lot of great attractions in Edinburgh! The flat was clean and worked out great! Would stay again!
Cosy and warm apartment in a fantastic location, really close to public transport, shops and a lovely cafe just around the corner. Had everything we needed (except perhaps a hair and clothes dryer). Would definitely stay again.

Hi Pam,
The hairdryer wiould have been in one of the bedroom drawers!
Thank you for your review, we hope to welcome you back again one day.
Excellent location, a short walking distance from the castle. Very clean, a very well stocked kitchen. The area is quite, although restaurants and cafes abound nearby. We highly recommend this rental
This property was well taken care of and had a nice living room where we relaxed at the end of the day before bed. The area was quiet and safe and we were able to walk to grocery stores, pubs, and restaurants.
Property was very large with a nice center courtyard. Easy to jump on the underground and a straight shot from Heathrow.

Hi Analissa,
I think perhaps you are reviewing the wrong property as we are in Edinburgh, nowhere near an underground and without a courtyard of any description!
The other property sounds nice thought 😊
Plain little flat with everything we needed. Good value but a bit small/ tight for 4 adults. Perfect for a couple with small children or 3 adults. In a perfect location minutes from the royal mile and everything you could want in the immediate neighborhood
Flat is located in a great location. It’s a quiet area just around the block from great restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores. The space comfortably fit my family of 4. Plenty of amenities to meet our needs.
Beautiful 2 bedroom flat walking distance to the Royal Mile. Situated on a quiet street with plenty of pubs, cafes, restaurants and grocery stores just blocks away. Ideal location for an Edinburgh vacation.

Really well situated apartment very close to shops and restaurants but in a quiet street in terms of traffic noise, although it's close to University of Edinburgh buildings and there was noise from neighbours that we suspect were students. The apartment was lovely and warm, with good bedding and towels. The only disappointments were the sofa set-up which wouldn't comfortably sit 4 people and it felt like some of the finishings like paintwork had been rushed. While there were whiskey glasses and champagne flutes, we thought it odd there were no wine glasses. Otherwise, a comfortable stay and very well located. Would recommend.
Situated perfectly close to the city center, this apartment has everything required for four people, including a well-equipped kitchen.
Minor technical problems were resolved rapidly.
Fantastic location! The apartment is crowded, especially the double bedroom. Bed was ok. The apartment wasn’t appropriately cleaned, with leftover scrunchies and q-tips on the floor.
needs an owner's touch - chair legs stuck out so everyone was always tripping, the one semi upholstered chair very worn, big blob of dirt/dust in bathroom. Location was great. Walls very thin but no one was loud. beds were fine
