The property was clean and well positioned but the check in process and car parking was a night mare. We were really tired and had to collect the key from a hotel several miles away. We then could not park the car until we had accessed the flat and got the parking pass. Checking out was almost but not quite as complicated. It was a nice flat but the single beds were very small. I thought it was expensive. It was rather impersonal - no welcome tray, no milk etc .
Good communication with the host. Nicely stocked. Perfect location with great view. Would have been 5 stars except for the showers over tub. Even with the provided step up it was very difficult to access the shower safely.
Great location, walkable to everything central, convenient to grocery store, cafes, etc. Very comfortable apartment, as pictured. Well equipped kitchen. Quiet, secure building. In university district. Beautiful views from windows. Mattresses could be improved.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We had a bit of a time finding the entrance to the unit as the entrance door is on the opposite side of the street address. Once we discovered the entrance and entered the unit, we found that the unit was not totally clean, find dirty socks between the couch cushions and dirty underwear left in the laundry room. The floor was not completely clean in parts of the unit. The windows were covered in hand prints and happy faces drawn there by someone, a nice touch but not a indication of cleanliness.We picked this unit for it's location and the options it provided. The first night there we discovered that the courtyard below is a place that young people and homeless people come to drink and party until the wee hours of the morning , very noisy. The washing machine and dryer are a combined appliance and we were on an extended vacation and at the mid way point and wanted to use the machine to wash and dry some clothes. The washer worked fine but we never were able to figure out the dryer process even with the instruction manual. In the evening we wanted to relax and watch some T.V. only to find that it was not working properly. I know that the property manager was available to us but for those who travel you will understand that we didn't want people wandering around our stuff when we were out and also there was not a safe provided to secure our valuables.On the good side the unit was close to the old town, had a great coffee shop and market downstairs.May 2026, Glenn
This apartment was very clean and location was perfect. It was within walking location of restaurants, shops and more. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you.
This large well appointed apartment is in a great location for University visits. Close to everything with a coffee shop and grocery on ground floor, It was a quite haven after sight seeing and graduation.
Excellent accommodation, very clean, modern and equipped with everything we needed for our stay.
Ideal location in quiet area near University and Meadows with short walk to city centre.
We travelled by car so appreciated accommdation had an allocated parking space.
Enjoyed our stay.
We were so pleased with the location of the apartment. It was right upstairs from a great coffee shop and had a small grocery store in the same building. Located near the University of Edinburgh, and a short walk to all of the sites. It was great!
This apartment is lovelier than any of the pictures. The floor to ceiling windows give an absolutely beautiful view to the park below. We LOVED the accommodations!
Great place that is within walking distance to everything
This place is in a perfect location to explore the core of the ancient city. Walked to the Royal Mile within 10-15 minutes. Loads of shops and restaurants close by. Having the Sainsbury and Starbucks essentially right outside the front door made it super easy to get food.
Place is spacious and clean. Would recommend.
We were looking for something close but not too closes. This was perfect. Two bistros and a grocery store in the same building. Short walk to the Royal Miles and transportation.
This suite was as advertised. It had a large open conceot living room, kitchen, and dinning room. Bedrooms located at seperate ends of unit. 20 min walk from Waverley train station. Castle and Royal Mile only a 6 to 7 minute walk. Small grocery on ground level was a bonus. Lots of pubs and restaurants close by.
With a Sainsbury's grocery store in the building and a well-equipped kitchen, we were right at home for a week- long visit. And, with Old Town just steps away, we could see the sites with ease. We took the tram from the airport and picked up the keys at Waverly Station, and checkout required leaving the keys in the mail slot - simple and easy! Overall, a great experience.
As described and pick up of the keys went very smooth, came into train station and keys were there at a pick up spot, easy peezy. Location is great, coffe shops right below as well as a small convenience store to grab some things for the fridge and snacks . I will note that the flat faces the university and the main walking path that most everyone uses, you may hear some noise at night , but that didn’t bother us as I have an white noise app that I turned on.
We highly recommend this property. The only drawback for us was no air conditioning, which was easily remedied by opening windows. However, night times can be quite noisy as this location is occupied by a lot of students.
This location is walking distance to all of the Edinburgh attractions, bars, cafes and a small grocery. Perfect!
