Fabulous Location

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.

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 and pretty quiet. Close to Hop On bus stop and shopping. Check in info and communication good. We found the beds very hard. We found the kitchen to be well appointed. There needs to be some instructions for the washer dryer unit, don’t think it is the same unit they mention in the black book. We could not get clothes to dry properly. The unit was incredibly damp, windows streaming. Too hot for heating. Airing didn’t seem to help. Shower needs resealing. Door is tricky and needs fixing.

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.

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.

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!

We loved Old Tolbooth Wynd

This is a very nice flat and it is very convenient to Edinburgh sites. You walk just a few hundred feet and you are at the Old Tolbooth on the royal mile. It’s also in a very quiet neighborhood - we slept very well here! Parking is provided, although we didn’t use it.

Great location.

Great access to Royal Mile. Washer/dryer was too tricky to figure out (the dryer function may not have worked). There were lots of key boxes - so pay careful attention to instructions on how to find the right one. Thanks for great stay.

Lovely and Local

I stayed here with three friends for New Year's week. The flat is lovely -- well appointed, comfortable, and we really enjoyed having the three full baths. It was very convenient for the High Street/Royal Mile, about a 3 minute walk up an incline; a bit hard on the legs for older ladies, but we soon got used to it. The instructions and information left for us were precise and useful, and the location, for all its being so convenient to everything, was nice and quiet in the evenings, good sleeping! All in all it was just a wonderful stay.

This is a lovely apartment, brilliant location just off the Royal Mile. Excellent facilities and thoughtful provision of items for a short stay e.g some kitchen basics left from previous guests and adaptors for electronic items for those of us. Lovely clean accommodation. Highly recommended. External door very hard to lock - needs attention. Two of the toilets had water hammer.
