A fantastic appartment which was so suitable for meeting up with our family. Slawomir is a great host, very helpful and obliging. A great location generally.Providing tea and coffee , toilet rolls, washing up materials, towels and t towels really helped as we had travelled a long way. Thank you Slawomir.
We very much enjoyed the stay. The apt had everything we needed and Slawomir was an excellent host. He was vey communicative and helpful, bringing fresh towels mid week and an extra blanket for my daughter. Also, the apt was only a short 10 min walk to Sainsbury, the bus stop, and only a 25 min walk to the Palace of Holyroodhouse at the foot of the Royal Mile. The apt bldg had an elevator, which was very nice.Overall, I would highly recommend this apt.

Great stay in a lovely residential area!
If you want a quiet place to stay in busy Edinburgh this is a great choice! The owner was very helpful and gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities. Walking to the Old or New Towns takes about 25 minutes and there are lots of buses and taxis. We especially loved the Leith port area including the Compass restaurant.

Property was extremely well maintained, in a fantastic location less than 10 minutes from the train station, and the host was very friendly and knowledgable. Groceries, pharmacy, coffee, and a ton of attractions all within a 10-15 minute walk. Spent a week walking everywhere with no need for a vehicle and minimal need of public transit.
Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit Edinburgh.
