Excellent location. Could not be better. Well equipped kitchen. Good beds. Very handy to have the third bathroom with a full size shower/bath, though it was really nice to have two en-suite rooms. The host was very responsive. We would stay there again.

Great location that is very close to the Royal Mile so we enjoyed the convenience to everything. And having 3 bathrooms is perfect for 3 adults. We really appreciated the availability of parking as well. There is a long-term construction project happening very close by (at the top of the street) so the noise was a bit bothersome in the morning. The listing says washer and dryer but it’s a combination machine. We were not able to figure out how to use just the dryer. The notebook of instructions did not say and we even Googled the machine online for instructions. Couldn’t make it just dry. That’s was a problem for us as we really needed the dryer. The apartment sleeps 4 and we had our adult daughter traveling with us so 3 people in total. Both of us have long hair so a month before our stay, I asked for one extra bath towel thinking we may get only 3. I was told that it would cost an extra 10 pounds to have an additional towel in the apartment. It doesn’t seem like much to ask for considering we paid 1467 pounds for 4 nights.It was very nice that they had coffee and sugar for us.

We had a great stay here. Would highly recommend. The flat is well appointed and very comfortable. Location is fantastic and you can easily walk to Edinburgh Castle and Hollyrood Palace. Dealing with the property manager was great from booking to checking out very helpful and friendly. If we ever get back this way I would not hesitate to book here again.

Great location for the Royal Mile attractions

Great location to walk to all that the Royal Mile has to offer, yet far enough to remain quiet. Be sure to frequent the Tollbooth Tavern, which is a mere 400 feet away!

A wonderful city break.

We were celebrating an 80th birthday. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and warm. The well equipped kitchen and dining area made eating in a pleasure and yet there is plenty of choice close by for dining out.The position also meant we were close to all attractions, station and bus routes. A wonderful place.

Girls trip

We stayed five days and had a great time. It was easy getting wherever we wanted: walking the Royal Mile, getting to the train station or tram or just wandering the small side streets. The ground floor flat was far enough off the Mile as to be quiet and the listing was accurate. Beds were comfortable and the living room was great for relaxing after a busy day. The flat is at the quiet end of the Mile, but there are lots of great places to eat and drink within a 5 minute walk. Communication was very good and attentive. Overall a great flat and stay.

Great location

This unit was located a block off of the Royal Mile and two blocks from the train station, and 3 blocks from the tram that took us back to the airport. Pleasantly surprised! It had 3 full baths, very comfortable bedrooms, and good sized living room and a very nice kitchen fully stocked! We used the washing machine several times - and dried our clothes on the drying racks. All told, we were very happy with the place.
