Very responsive and flat was exactly as advertised....within a few minutes walk of major city center attractions, dining and shopping but just far enough away to not be right in the middle of vehicle and pedestrian traffic...Perfect for my family....would stay again and highly recommend!

The apartment is in a fantastic location. The area is walkable with many restaurants. The bar downstairs was great. The unit is clean and well maintained. The only complaint is the couch and chairs need to be replaced. There is construction behind the unit that did not affect us since we get up early anyway. Overall it was cozy and the location can’t be beat!

We (2 couples) spent 6 nights in this lovely apartment. It's in the best location! Thistle St. is a perfect base to explore Edinburgh - near everything, yet away from the busy streets. Plus, Glenn was a great host!Glenn answered my many questions promptly and offered great suggestions. On his list was Fischer's, just down the street. We went twice for dinner; it was excellent, our favorite! Cafe Royal was another Glenn suggestion - drinks in a historic, beautiful location.Across the street from the apartment is a Cafe with wonderful pastries & coffee which we enjoyed daily.On the street level below the apartment is historic Thistle Pub which we also enjoyed daily! A charming and friendly place. I've traveled for many years, renting many homes and would definitely recommend this apartment.

Stay Here!

The flat is lovely, well-equipped, and well-located. It is near many of Edinburgh’s excellent museums and is close to the Royal Mile. There were good restaurants nearby. Our time in Edinburgh was better because we stayed on Thistle Street.

We were very happy with our stay. We were met early due to our early flight. She let us in so my husband could rest before she was finished cleaning. It was very kind of her and we were grateful. Love the push start shower. Perfect location and out standing shopping! Thanks for all you did to make us comfortable.We all fell in love with Scotland

Fantastic location

Our stay was fantastic. Easy to check in the people were so helpful when my friend got sick. They were always full of advice and so helpful. Great location. Close to Rose St and Princess St. the Thistle Bar was just below us. Never heard any noise and it was a great place to visit. The Queens Arms Pub was at the end of the block and had great food and whisky. Just wished we could have stayed longer

Perfect location - needs new mattresses

This apartment is located in the most perfect location. The local pub downstairs, coffee across the street, amazing Thai restaurant a few doors down and wine/liquor store all on this quaint and quiet street. The Royal Mile was a 10-12 minute walk and plenty of other choices for dining and shopping along the way. The stairs were a little precarious but manageable. The layout of the apartment was comfortable. We didn’t spend much time here as most of our visit we were out exploring. But with lots of exploring, good rest is vital. These mattresses were by far the worst things we have slept on in a long time. Old, thin, inner spring mattresses kept all of us from enjoying a restful nights sleep. We all took turns sleeping on the couch for a night. It’s clear the owners do not stay and sleep at their property or this would have been noticed and surely fixed. The necessity to meet the manager st the property was very inconvenient. After a very long day/night of travel you have to time the arrival just right with the management company to retrieve the key. And after that they insist on “showing you around” the apartment as if you couldn’t figure out where the bathrooms were located. What would have been way more helpful would have been instructions on how to use the very complicated washer/dryer combo system. Google proved quite helpful in this situation. This apartment could would be a solid choice with better mattresses, fans, and operational instructions.
