Great location!

Cute apartment! Easy walking distance to everything in Old Town. Can get a little loud weekend nights, but didn’t bother us. Quite a few stairs to get to apartment!

Great spot in Edinburgh

Great location in the heart of the Royal Mile! Derek was very responsive when we reported an electrical outage - which I think happened to the entire building and was resolved quickly. The apartment had everything we needed and was quite comfortable. Being on the Royal Mile, there was commotion outside the windows in the morning, but as long as you don’t expect total quiet you’ll be fine!

Perfect location!

Just as advertised. Literally in the middle of everything which was great for walking! Little noisy at night so bring earplugs. Very clean and just the right amount of space for the three of us for 8 nights!

"As a family we have used self catering properties around the world for our own holidays and know how important it is to make sure that when you arrive you are not disappointed with your choice of holiday accommodation. The two main areas of disappointment that we have found are location and standard!

The apartments that we offer are situated in Edinburgh's no 1 historic tourist street being the Royal Mile and Grassmarket areas. Our apartments are maintained and cleaned to a very high standard exactly as we would want to find ourselves when going on holiday.

We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh.
