Great location right in the heart of the Edinburgh Rose Street pub scene. Pretty much everything we wanted to see and do was walkable from here. Apartment was very secure and roomy for the 4 of us.

Great location. We happened to be there when it was very warm and the rooms were unbearably hot so we couldn’t sleep but I can’t hold ten days of heat per year against the host. One issue is, you can’t have windows open for coolness and it not be noisy at the same time. Few homeless in the doorway on occasion but location trumped everything. Needs modernising and new carpet for what is charged.

AMAZING Location

The location is better than expected. It was clean, and comfortable. For the Americans who are not used to a combo washer dryer you might want to leave instructions.Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Great Location

Great location close to restaurants and sites one would want to visit, bus routes, etc. A walkable area. Clean and comfortable. Felt secure and safe. Had decent communication with the property management who even helped send someone out when local construction workers accidentally blew the power in the bathroom. Would stay again.

Super clean, but the shower was electric and confusing, the photos online of the outside of the property did not reflect the current structures. We couldn’t find the front door because we were looking for shops that were no longer located in that space. The WiFi wouldn’t connect, so we used the downstairs restaurants WiFi.

A nice place to stay in Edinburgh

My wife and I along with my sister stayed at this 2 bed apartment. The place was clean and usual toiletries and towels were provided. Although available for our use, we did not utilise all the kitchen facilities. It was quite nice to see everything was available, if needed to cook. Shower was very good. Facilty to adjust the heating was very simple to use. The beds were fine. The location of the apartment made it very easy for us to get about using local transport. So much variety of international food choices and if one likes a drink, plenty of watering holes.

The pros:The location was great, we were able to walk to many areas of interest. The property was perfect for our needs. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is exactly as pictured.Cons:The check-in could have been much smoother then it was. We we're not provided the necessary check-in information. We had to contact the host which did not respond to our messages. We had to call for the information. I should mention this was after the 3pm check in time.The property is not easy to find. It is not what you see on google maps. I would suggest providing future guests with a picture of the door/exterior with the check in details by 3pm.Check out: 11am which is not unreasonable. In our situation the cleaner entered the property before 11am, when we were still there and felt the need to tell us she'd had been waiting since 9am!

The address was correct and once we found the apartment, navigating was so easy. The adjoining building is no longer blue. It is pink and also an Indian restaurant.The Rose Street strip is filled with many dining options. Everything is within walking distance. We even took the bus to the Portobello Beach for an enjoyable seaside day.The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos. The windows open to either the street or a small alley type street. The night air is cool so sleeping is not going to be an issue. You may hear random people walking by, but, they never linger. The seagulls were determined to pluck my very last nerve. One took pleasure in screaming at me early in the morning. Only my window.We did hear some construction early in the morning, which was not an issue. It was our alarm for breakfast.The host has an office in Old Town if you need anyone. We didn't have any issues. Check in and check out were super easy.The appliances are easy to use. The washer/dryer combo is set to 6. That is the best setting for laundry. We left the door ajar to ensure that the machine was dry before closing it.Old Town is a short walk away. The Waverly train station is also a short 10 minute walk away.We had no issues with anything and enjoyed our stay. We would recommend.
