10/10 A fantastic base for an Edinburgh visit

Everything about our stay was perfect from start to finish. Gareth’s communication was excellent and he even made sure the apartment was ready slightly earlier than the usual check-in time so we could drop off our bags as soon as we arrived. The apartment is in a fantastic location in easy walking distance of all the sights, shops and wonderful places to eat. The apartment was spotless and a lovely, cosy home from home. I would definitely recommend it!

Very clean, great location, great layout

This is a very nice property! Plenty of food and retail shops within a few steps, and close to the primary Edinburgh attractions. It was also very clean, with modern plumbing and very comfortable beds. Add a great check-in experience and prompt owner communication. One of my favorite short-term rentals. We’ll return if we come back to Edinburgh!

You won’t regret it

This apartment is perfect for a family! Stayed here with my wife and two kids (Ages 2 & 8mo), and it was perfect. Has a washing machine for clothes, two comfortable bedrooms, a full kitchen and living room. There are stairs up to it, but it’s easy enough to carry a stroller up there. We would definitely stay again.

Awesome Rose Apartment!

We loved our stay at Rose Apartment! The location is right in the middle of all the top tourist attractions, shops and restaurants, yet it is quiet in the evening. People watching from the front window was the best! Communication with Gareth was great and everything about the apartment was exactly as we hoped. I will definitely stay at Rose Apartment next time in Edinburgh!! Try the Taco Libre across the street for some fairly authentic Mexican food!

Edinburgh in March

My family had a wonderful stay. The owners made checking easy ( I was delayed twice on route from Newcastle). The apartment had all the amenities one would need and having a clothes washers was a big bonus. Everywhere we visited in the city was easily accessible from this property. On my next visit to Edinburgh I would not hesitate to book this for my stay.

Great apartment in downtown Edinburgh

The Edinburgh New Town apartment is one of the nicest VRBO properties we've stayed in. It was on a pedestrian only street and close to everything including Edinburgh castle, the Royal mile, Holyrood, as well as grocery stores, shops and several good restaurants. The property was nicely decorated, very clean, and spacious, and our host, Gareth, was great to work with and very helpful. The booking, arrival and checkout all went well, and he was very responsive to inquiries. I would definitely stay here again.

Had a fantastic stay in Edinburgh at Gareth’s stunning flat. Location was absolutely perfect for all of our adventures. The flat itself was beautifully clean, comfortable and had everything you need for a stay of any length. Gareth's communication was top notch, he responded very quickly, gave us great tips on finding parking and gave check in instructions very early. We were so grateful that he was able to accommodate early check in for us, as our flight came in early in the morning. Bed were firm, but very comfortable. It was a bit noisy during the daytime, as there was construction going on around the flat (it’s everywhere in Edinburgh), but this did not affect our stay whatsoever. Little cafe below the flat was amazing, definitely recommend checking them out for breakfast!

About the host

Hosted by Gareth

Host profile image
I'm Gareth and I own and manage this gem of a holiday apartment, recently renovated in a great location I'm privileged to be able to host guests from across the world and accommodate them in Edinburgh. I love meeting new people from all walks of life and hearing their stories.

Why they chose this property

I was looking to buy a city centre property in need of renovation and I came across the flat in 2011, it hadn't been maintained for atleast 25 years. I seen that it had masses of potential but it was a huge challenge...Great location and great character!

What makes this property unique

The property was built in 1792 when Edinburgh's 'New Town' was under construction. It still retains all the original internal doors and floorboards which I restored. Along with the exposed original stonework wall, this property has a great feel to it. Put together with the location its a stunning place to take in the city!
