What an amazing place in Edinburgh! Our family of six had a perfect time there because it was close to everything we needed, walking distance to the tram and close to grocery stores as well. Everything in the house is really easy to use as well so it was very comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

The accommodation was really well equipped, everything we needed to cook in the kitchen, books for the children etc. The host was there to welcome us and was very friendly. Great location close to Leith Walk with all it's shops and restaurants and trams to the city centre, but tucked away enough to be quiet. Highly recommend

Great apartment, location and host. The area was quiet, the rooms were well-furnished and good sized. The beds were comfortable. The host was responsive to questions such as the thermostat controls. We had a great stay in Edinburgh. The only small critique could be the instructions for the back door code entry were a little buried in the other instructions and recommendations. It took a few minutes at the door to find the code and gain entry the first night after a long day of travel. Thank you for a great stay.

Host gave clear instructions and helpful information, and was responsive when we had questions. The property was immaculately clean, comfortable, and in beautiful condition, and she even stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is quiet and ideally located away from the hustle and bustle of busy Edinburgh, but close enough to walk anywhere you might want to go.All 4 of us rate our stay 100 out of 100!
