We loved the apartment and location. Everything worked great and was very clean. Easy parking and good restaurants in the neighborhood. We enjoyed Giovannis downstairs! The management was very responsive and quick to respond to any questions before and during our arrival.The only drawback was our apartment was on the 3rd level (4th in US terms) with no elevator. Lugging our luggage was difficult. That being said, we would definitely stay here again!

Dear Nanni,
Thank you so much for your wonderful words it means a lot to us that our guests are happy with their choice
Im sorry to hear about the stair situation but it is out of control and we try to help our guests when we can, including making sure they are aware of it by stating it on our website before booking and by helping with the luggage’s as much as we can.
Thank you again,
Giovanna
The apartment was a perfect choice for our party of 4. (Two married couples) We had plenty of space to relax. The location is close to the city center, train, and bus line. It made it very easy to get to the sites we wanted to see. Giovanna was helpful and very responsive to messages.

This property was very clean and inviting. Giovanna was exceptionally attentive and helpful as a host, and she runs a great Italian restaurant next door. Check it out. Our stay was a wonderful experience for our family. The negative was the walk up 3 flights of stairs for us of a certain age; but, hey, the extra exercise may have resulted in our slight loss of weight—something that has almost never occurred for us on vacations.

Had a great stay here while exploring Edinburgh. Fantastic location, very clean, enough room for five of us to spread out. Hosts were super responsive.

Perfect location right in the centre of everything you could need. Large kitchen and living area that enabled the 6 of us to relax and spend time together. Every space was very clean. Nice to have a roomy shower. Beds were comfortable, even the bunk beds (considering we’re over 60). Grateful there were fans provided as it was super hot in Scotland during our visit. Excellent communication with the owners and check-in was super smooth. Appreciated that we could do laundry on site. Highly recommend!

Let me start by saying that this flat has an amazing location! We were able to walk down stairs and go right to the tram system and hit all of the sights! It is in walking distance to many shops, dining, etc. The flat itself worked great for our quick stay. We needed bedrooms for everyone and bathrooms were key in organizing how fast we could get up and around to sight see! The hosting family goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome as well! Thank you!
