The location of the apartment is superb. The apartment itself very cozy and quiet, with a well-equipped kitchen (having a washing machine was very much appreciated, too). Would highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Edinburgh. We enjoyed our stay very much indeed!

A Great Option

I stayed here with my mother, and we were very comfortable. The apartment was cozy and clean, the location was wonderful —close to sites, but just tucked away enough to not be too loud at night, and getting checked in was easy. This is a good option for 3-4 friends/family members, or a couple and two kids.

Relaxing flat with great location

Spacious flat with relaxing sitting room and cheerful kitchen. Nice to have coffee and tea supplies with milk in the fridge. Door lock can be a little tricky but the building and neighbourhood are safe and quiet.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Good to hear that you enjoyed the spaciousness of the apartment. We will double check the keys for the lock; for the main door, the fob needs to be held near to the release button to be activated. Hope you had a good onward journey after your stay. Martin

We had a great stay in Edinburgh. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and had more bathroom space than we expected, which was a nice surprise.
