This flat was centrally located in Old Town but its location made it easy to get to Princes street as well. There were plenty of dining options nearby. The pub just to the right of the entrance into the close had great coffee.

Fabulously located property!

Spacious apartment with very good facilities - just don't expect to get back from a long day of seeing the sights to hang your coat and put your feet up!! Not one hook within the property, and the sofa is more of a bench! The ensuite room does get the noise of the live events in the pub below, but this finished at 11pm so not a problem. Recommended, we would definitely stay here again.

Edinburgh gem

Location, cleanliness and amenities are excellent. Beds are too small for sleeping two people. The check-in process to pick up the keys is challenging. It is also inconvenient to return the keys to a lock box blocks away from the location.

Unimpressed

We found communication with Altido very poor. The fact that we had to find an office to pick up keys and then proceed to property is very inconvenient. I have never stayed in a property that didn’t have a lock box. The property said “newly refurbished” but door handles fell off of doors, leaving people stuck in bathroom, window blinds were broken and couldn’t be opened, there were no necessities in the kitchen no paper towels, no dish towels, everything in the kitchen seem to be left by previous guests. And only 1 set of towels provided. We enjoyed Edinburgh, and location was ideal. The property was VERY loud, cars, people below, the pub/music.

Quick Scotland trip

Probably one of the best experiences I have recently. Owner/Manager were extremely responsive and accommodating being that our flight from USA was cancelled and we didn't arrive until 24 hours later. The flat was absolutely perfect in every way. Clean, spacious had everything we needed and the location couldn't have been more perfectly centered. I will definitely book again !!

Good location - poor communication

Of all the VRBOs this was the least favorite. My husband and I were traveling with another couple. No one ever answered any of my emails prior to arrival. Check in was ridiculous. Tired after a long day in the road we had to find their office to pick up a key and then haul our luggage up hills to get to the location. No one in the office was friendly! The beds were smaller than doubles. The sink in the en suite was about 6” x 8”! There is a spiral staircase that you have to navigate to get to the unit. Two nights we came back to find homeless people sleeping in our close - and before 9 pm! On a good note, the unit was clean and recently remodeled. The location was great! The 2 pubs underneath were very good - good food and friendly service. There were none of the personal touches we had in our units throughout Scotland. We had 1 towel each for 4 nights - I called and asked for extra towels and was told that would be an extra charge and would only happen if they could find time - they couldn’t guarantee we would get them but we would be charged anyway. We found a huge bag of dirty towels in a closet. Checkout was just as hard - had to make our way back to the Altido office to turn in the keys.
