Scotland trip

It was very well located. Once we ignored Google Maps, the instructions were clear. Closed Road confused Google. The only complaint was our lack of ability to get clothes dried; took a long time. The place was excellent

Great Location

It was our fourth stay in Edingburgh. The location of the apartment surprised us. At the very end of the Royal Mile, the apartment was in a quiet residential complex. The apartment was great. Clean and cozy. From the bedroom window you had a good view of Carlton Hill. We felt very comfortable. And would love to come back.

Flat is in a great location just a short distance to the Royal Mile and a short walk to Waverley station. There is a grocery store nearby and the kitchen is well appointed to make meals in house. The neighborhood was quiet considering how easy it is to get to places.

Wonderful Location

The location is truly perfect. Close enough for an easy walk to anything on Royal Mile and train station, but just off the street for a quiet stay. The trains didn’t bother us at all. The parking was great and easy accessed. There is a fun pub just minutes away and a grocery store super close by. All was as advertised and we enjoyed having a kitchen, laundry and more space than we’d have in a hotel! We’d definitely use again and recommend to others.

Excellent Location

The apartment is very well situated being a block off the Royal Mile. We were able to walk everywhere. Plenty of restaurants and shops. The apartment was as listed. Photos were an accurate depiction of the unit. We had four adults in our party and it worked well for all of us. Communication with Anabel was excellent. Very timely responses to any and all questions. Super easy checkin. Definitely would stay here again!

A few short steps to the royal mile

Three flights up with a lot of baggage. Tight fit for 4 adults. Super clean. Great location for sight seeing on the royal mile as its only a 2 minute walk to get to cannon gate which becomes high street. All the shops and pubs and the castle are just a wee walk away.

Quiet, restful stay right off the Royal Mile

This location was perfect and so charming. We enjoyed the lively pub right at the end of the Wynde and did Arthur's Seat, The Royal Mile and Botanical Gardens by foot. It's really close to the train station as well. Kitchen had nice mugs and a small but functional washer/dryer. Beds were great and bathroom was a great comfortable size. Highly recommend this place. My husband and I were there two nights with our university student. She loved the cheerful yellow walls. Thank you!

Property safety

On the first evening in Edinburgh we returned after dark to the property. The entranceway is not well lit and the stairs are uneven which contributed to a fall which resulted in a broken ankle. This required a trip to the Royal Edinburgh Infirmary emergency department and an early return to Canada by 2 people in our group.
