The apartment is exactly as advertised, spacious, bright, very comfortable and in an excellent location. It's relatively close, about a 10 minute walk, to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. There is a grocery store very close by and many dining and pub options close by. City transit and the tram to the airport have stops right outside the front door. Communication with the property manager was prompt and friendly. I would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Edinburgh.

Outstanding Property in Edinburgh

Well-apointed and equipmed flat that was perfect for 2-week stay in Edinburgh. Location is short walk from Haymarket Station and central to every neighborhood that can be explored in Edinburgh (West End, Stockbridge, Dean Village, New Town, Old Town, Royal Mile, Tynecastle Park, Leith, etc.). Mere metres from grocery, coffe, pharmacy and pub too and 1 minute walk to nearest restaurants. Professionally managed property (they manage others too), outstanding communication and exceptional service. No hesitation in recommending this property and would defintely return.

Fabulous stay but!

Fabulous property and location but had some issues, and was not as polished as the price demanded! Bedroom carpet was stained, poor quality ironing board, broken glass and chair and TV picture not available as Ariel not connected. Damage on fridge door front. On the positive side a Dishwasher and Washer Dryer. Couldn’t find details of heating.Location is perfect for an Edinburgh trip, trams and buss on your doorstep.

Great Location!

A great location! Supermarket right next door to pick up our breakfast food and snacks. We did not rent a vehicle as we could walk to many of the popular areas of Edinburgh. The trams and buses were easily accessible for places not within walking distance. The bed was very comfortable too. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest is to bring toilet paper. I wasn’t aware I needed to supply my own and for what was charged I would have expected it to be supplied. Overall a nice stay.

Thanks so much for the review, we are really glad that you enjoyed staying in Edinburgh. I offer my sincere apologies about the toilet paper, there absolutely should have been some available to you in the apartment. I will investigate to find out what happened. I hope that you will come and stay again, Siobhan

Spacious flat in prime location

This is a well equipped and spacious flat in a prime location at the west end of Edinburgh spoiled only by a few niggling problems- the street entrance is a disgrace and badly needs to be cleaned up- one of the bedside lights wasn't working and despite reporting this on more than one occasion we had to live without it for the whole week- normally I would expect the password for the internet to be displayed boldly in the flat, I had to contact the manager to find it- the hot water system was dangerously hot - particularly for childrenOtherwise, despite some signs of tiredness, it was a very comfortable flat in an ideal position

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. I’m really pleased to hear that you found the flat comfortable and appreciated the space and location. I'm very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay, especially regarding the bedside light. I understand our property manager did visit to check it and found it working at the time, but I appreciate that it may have been inconsistent. The property owner has now been informed and is arranging for the lights to be replaced to avoid any further inconvenience. Your feedback about the entrance, Wi-Fi details and hot water temperature is also noted and appreciated. These are all things we take seriously to ensure improvements are made where needed. Thank you again for your constructive comments as they genuinely help us do better.

West End stay

Great location with bus and tram stops in front of the flat. The travel hub office to get bus passes is across the street. Grocery store, Boots and a pub are on the ground floor. Only two cons: We paid for the executive car transfer from the airport to the flat. We got a black cab taxi driver who could find the flat. Also had to walk a long way in the rain to his car with no offer of umbrella. Meter showed about 35GBP which is way less than we paid. The second con was that the chain on one of the shades in the living area broke on our second day. We notified the host immediately but the shade was not repaired during the remaining 9 days of our stay. These are the tall windows featured in the listing.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, John! We are glad to hear you enjoyed the convenient location and appreciate your feedback regarding the transfer. The £35 rate was for the transfer itself, while the additional charge was for the Meet & Greet service we offer to our guests. We also appreciate you bringing the broken chain on the shade to our attention. It has since been fixed, following Health & Safety procedures. Despite these issues, we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an even better experience next time.

Nice property and the location is ideal. A very walkable City. Buses and trams available next to the property if wanted or needed. Have a Grocery store next door. Nice pub next to property, nice staff and good food. Lots of places to Shop, dinning, and entertainment all close by. The property had a few issues. One of the shades in the living area chain is broken, Carpet needs to be cleaned in the bedroom, Stained. Ironing board needs pad to be replaced. Also, better communications would be nice with Property Manager. We were told she would reach out to us 14 days before arrival. It took us a few times to reach out to her before she responded day before our flight. Had an issue with the bathroom flushing valve one day before leaving. Reached out to update her and ask for assistance to fix the issue, no reply back. Need better communication on how to open the windows or if they open for fresh air. A fan was available for use we were very thankful. We had a great time in Edinburgh for our 9 day stay. Recommend using Rabbies Tours. They were amazing.
