Excellent location. If you’re looking to explore the Edinburgh City Centre, I cannot recommend this place enough. Gaining entry the first time was a little quirky, but once you get the hang of it, it’s simple. Just a couple of minor notes: the parking option is helpful, but it’s not close (15-20 minute walk) and it wasn’t mentioned in the listing (understandably). The rubbish instructions were not great, and honestly, this shouldn’t be the responsibility of the person renting the property as long as rubbish amount is manageable (ie. one bag). A cleaning crew can handle one bag, especially given the far distance from the apartment to the rubbish location. Other than that, excellent place for a couple or two couples to spend some time in Edinburgh.

"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 area. 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.
