Great large apartment right at the bottom of the castle off Princes street. We stayed with our two young kids and they loved having the extra space. Walkable to everything.

The apartment is marvelous. Everything is in good condition and it is pretty. Really comfortable and it has everything you could need when traveling. Pretty good size and location. We would prefer that the apartment had a lift and AC. I definitely can recommend this place.

Central location

Beautiful apartment overlooking Princess Street, couldn’t get a more central spot. Apartment was spotless, cosy and comfortable with secondary glazing which kept the noise down and underfloor heating in the bathroom. Had everything you would need for your stay with good quality bed linen and towels. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location

The property is fantastic. located extremely well for Princess and George Street with the apartment being well presented, clean and all the facilities needed and as described. The only area to improve on is that the property does not have air conditioning and if the weather is good the sun shines directly in and you cannot really leave the windows open due to noise emanating from Princess St

Fabulous Edinburgh Apartment.

An absolutely wonderful stay in a beautiful apartment. Well appointed and spotlessly clean. What an awesome location. Everything you need is on your doorstep. Tourist attractions, fabulous restaurants and bars as well as great local Tesco. Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing I felt was unfair was that our sons paid (xmas gift) for a castle view from the apartment, and a big section of the main window was poorly boarded up spoiling the view that was paid for.

Beautiful apartment!

We had a great experience! Communication with staff was prompt and professional. The apartment was wonderful and in excellent condition. Our only regret was that it was just for one night. I would certainly rent this apartment again!

Lovely central apartments

Both our apartments were lovely. We were overlooking princes street. Very central location. Spacious apartment, nicely decorated, plenty of toiletries in bathroom. Car parking was a 5-10 min walk away, quite expensive but we did receive a discount staying here. Would recommend and would stay again in the future.

This was a great place to stay in Edinburgh. It was nice, had all updated modern amenities and centrally located to tasty restaurants and tourist locations - we walked almost everywhere. I would definitely stay there again - It was nice having a spacious studio. A few items I read in other reviews that were helpful: 1. The office, several blocks away, will let you store your luggage until you can check in. We arrived early, so this was nice. 2. There are no elevators - This was good to know in advance. I highly recommend these apartments.

Fabulous base for visiting Edinburgh. Apartment for brilliant, with everything we needed. Traffic noise outside, which didn’t bother me as I slept like a log but woke my husband a few times. For the room price though, well worth it but maybe take ear plugs.

Apartment in Edinburgh

Well located in central Edinburgh. Easy access to the tram and buses along Princes Street. Good selection of restaurants in the area, but very busy in August. Accommodation was good, but flat 5 did not have a wardrobe. Three doors to go through in order to access the flat, each door needed access code to open.

Great Location for walking to everything. (Sopping ; Dining; Sights) Lack of Lift could be an issue for people with walking issues to the upper floors. Not a convenient place for drop-off by car as it is on a busy road / corner with no convenient stopping places.

This was a modern hidden studio apartment upstairs of a mobile phone store accessed through an unassuming door in the corner. The original façade of the old building was untouched, but the insides were renovated. Plus: location was as central as you can get (maybe a little "too central"?) Window facing the castle. Studio felt very modern and probably remodeled not very long ago. Even though address was given in the email, some basic descriptions of the place in the email would've helped because Google maps sent me to the OTHER nearby (wrong) location when I just searched the name (there were multiple locations in the same areas). There were some homeless people loitering near the entrance and smelled of urine at the entrance. Walking in the studio. almost every other step generated loud creaking noise. They did not reinforce the old floor before covering up with new flooring. Thankfully it was a mobile phone shop that wasn't opened in the evening. But because of that, it affected the stay experience. Second complaint was the stairs. Not easy carrying my big luggage up since there were no lifts/elevators. Maintenance was feeling a little off, one of my bedside lamps did not work. Due to the apartment being a little warm, I had to open the window to get some fresh air (no air conditioning, but ok). However, being so central, and only on the 2nd floor, I can hear people talking loudly and traffic noises all the way until it died down in the later hours.
