The Holyrood apartment is in the perfect location to visit Edinburgh Old Town. It was extremely clean and perfect for two couples. The host was always responsive to our communications and check-in instructions were outstanding.
Super solid location and we'll appointed room. Check in was super easy and the bonus of a parking spot made coming and going exactly what we needed. Great stay for sure and recommend!
A great place to stay: great location, very clean and nicely appointed and the owner was very accommodating and helpful. We hiked up to Arthur’s Seat (worth it!) and walked all over Edinburgh mostly centered around the Royal Mile. If you are at all on the fence take confidence that this is a superb option.

Fantastic location .apartment as described .very comfortable with everything we needed for our weekend stay .we chose this because of the accessibility having a lift and a parking space at the door was great .access for key collection was easy .
Apartment was as advertised and host was quick to respond to questions. An additional cot was provided to accommodate our needs. Location was very convenient.
Great location, great communication from the host, well thought out details available for guests in the unit, clean and efficient property, washer and dryer was very helpful.
This is an excellent apartment, situated at the Holyrood end of The Royal Mile. It is very clean and well-appointed. All communications from the host were excellent and detailed and we very much enjoyed our stay.
A clean and cozy stay in Edinburgh. Close to everything but just off the main path to feel calm. The space was the perfect size for my family of three. We always looked forward to coming back at the end of a day of exploring to settle in and rest. The host was easy and very detailed in their communications with us. There was a misunderstanding on our part about the key return. Our host went out of their way to problem solve with us so we could get the keys dropped off in time for the next guests. A wonderful stay in a magical city.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Jeff.
You were all a pleasure to host.
Great location. Our host was very accommodating and check in was simple. The added bonus of a parking space was very nice. Highly recommend this location for a trip to Edinburgh.
The apartment was wonderful - exactly as described. Great location to get pretty much anywhere you need to be in the city. All the necessities were onsite. Spotless and very comfortable. Bed in the master wax excellent. Ensuite excellent. Some nice touches including great towels. For newcomers to Edinburgh, the Hop on Hop off bus is right across the street, a great way to introduce yourself to the city. Communication with Shahid was great. Overall, an excellent property.
It was a lovely flat with a fantastic view of Salisbury Crags. We were two couples on holiday together, and it perfectly met our needs. Comfortable, clean, and with all the amenities we needed.
Very accessible to amenities. The elevator was the main convenience for us. Very clean and comfortable.
