We loved our stay in Edinburgh. We found the apartment very centrally located and was perfect for going to shops, exploring, and hiking Arthur’s seat. We especially loved the amazing mountain view from our bedroom window. We would stay here again.

Great vrbo in Edinburgh. Hosts were accommodating with any requests. Easy check in/check out process. Flat is clean, in a quiet area (close to Edinburgh university campus) and close enough to royal mile. Great space, would recommend!

A clean, comfortable large apartment very close to grocery stores and main attractions in Old Town Edinburgh. Close to buses to things further out too. Great views from every window. Very comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen and apartment overall. Great communication from our hosts. While lounge did get a bit noisy of an evening we were there during the Fringe festival and the bedroom was very quiet. Iron, washer dryer and airing rack all supplied along with extra linen if necessary. Apartment warm, cosy and safe. Stairs to our room but we knew that before arrival. Wifi supplied

This apartment was very nice and just as described. It was within walking distance of all the sights of Edinburgh but just far enough away to be in a quieter area. With the unusually warm weather having a fan available would have been great but cetainly not a negative. We really enjoyed our stay...this is a great place!

Home for the week

This property was just as described, simple, comfortable with just enough of the basics to be a great base, a place to enjoy take away when we were tired. Easy walks or bus rides to everything. Thanks so much!

Overall this was a very good choice. Easy to get to both the Old Town areas and Arthur's Seat, with a nice view and a good layout of the apartment. Strong washer/dryer was a plus. In the university neighborhood, so there was some noise that you might not expect but shopping was easy.

Charming and Convenient: A Perfect Edinburgh Stay

I recently stayed in this cozy apartment in Edinburgh and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic—conveniently close to key attractions, restaurants, and public transport, making it easy to explore the city. The apartment itself is charming and well-maintained, with all the comforts one could need for a relaxing stay. From the comfortable bed to the well-equipped kitchen, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base while visiting Edinburgh.

Great location, but cold

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment is clean and the location is very convenient. Our only complaint was how long it took to warm up (24+ hrs). We had stay in one room with the space heater until it reached a comfortable temperature, around day 3.

Please accept our apologies for a lack of heating.The radiators are very quick to work so they must have been turned down low. We could have resolved that very quickly if you had contacted us during your stay. My warmest regards, Susie

Wonderful stay

This was a fantastic flat. We stayed three nights and fell in love with the city and wished we had more time in the flat. It was exactly as described/pictured and we were very impressed. The views were amazing, the bed comfortable, and the hostess was a great communicator and available. We plan on coming back to Scotland to see more of the beautiful country and will definitely book again.

Handy flat for sightseeing

Host was accommodating and flat was walking distance to Royal Mile and had great views of Arthur’s Seat. Only issue is it’s a third floor flat without an elevator/lift so be prepared to carry luggage. If you are sleeping in the living room on the pullout, there is street noise. Bedroom is quiet

Very nice, comfortable stay. Great communication and useful information available at the site. Just fair warning.....It's on the 3rd floor with no lift. Good to know for anyone with ambulatory issues.

A little overpriced

Street noise in living room made it difficult to sleep and cigarette smoke from adjacent apartment came right through walls. Hard to keep shower water from leaking onto floor. However, view from bedroom was nice and instructions for check in were clear and helpful.
