Communication was about the best I have had with a vacation rental. The home was beautiful and so well designed. It is evident the host really trust their guests with the lovely home decor you can tell they have collected during their travels. The only draw back for our group was the stairs….but gorgeous views.

We’re so glad you loved the home and that communication was smooth throughout. We appreciate the note about the stairs. At least the views made the climb worthwhile! It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope to welcome you back to Scotland.

Amazing flat that’s even bigger in person. The only problem was that the shower in the main bedroom wasn’t draining so the bathroom floor would get soaked. (Also the flat could use more mirrors if you’re getting ready for a fancy event as we were). But beyond that, I loved this apartment. Great amenities, great location, and the host was very responsive. Would 100% stay here again.

Great place and the manager that runs the house for the owner is fantastic. Gave excellent recommendations for pubs and restaurants and handled a difficult fix that unexpectedly occurred with professional hands on approach. The place was terrific, we had a fantastic time, and the only complaint I have is that I couldn’t stay longer. Lots of great restaurants, pubs, shopping. Would 100% stay again.

This is a lovely property built in 1800s spacious with very high ceilings, beautifully appointed and very centrally located for everything Edinburgh has to offer. It is a second floor flat with 50 steps to gain access which kept us fit! We visited with American friends who were very impressed with its sense of history.

Edinburgh Getaway

The apartment was beautifully decorated, spacious and quiet. There was plenty of room for our group of six older adults and we appreciated having the extra half bath downstairs. The location has easy access to restaurants and small neighborhood markets to pick up a few needed items. We enjoyed our time there very much!

Great apartment and location.

Great stay with everything you need. The apartment is lovely and in a great location. Very clean too. Near lots of restaurants. Highly recommend the Magnum up the road but do book in advance. Just 2 extra points to be aware of, there are lots of stairs up to the apartment and parking is free on weekends but through the week it's pay to park.

Perfect location for family to enjoy the city

Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh. The beds, bedding, showers and all furnishings were very comfortable. The steps were challenging at times but also gave us more exercise. We did not use the kitchen much but it seemed to be well equipped for cooking. Nice location to walk to many great destinations.

Beautiful flat in New Town Edinburgh, fantastic location, beautifully appointed. Easy walking distance to Waverly Station and Royal Mile. Very easy process. One caveat for anyone with mobility issues, no lift, 2.5 flights walk up. Would definitely stay here again.
