A really enjoyable stay at this excellent flat in Edinburgh. Spacious accommodation and all within walking distance for the main attractions. Quick and attentive support from the host throughout. Recommended.
This apartment is big and beautiful! It has tons of sunlight pouring in and was very comfortable. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room to spread out. It had all the amenities we needed. The location is a great area of the city with a lot of restaurants and cute shops. The bus stop is right in front of the flat. Our men walked to the main part of town while we easily took the bus or an Uber. Host had great communication. We loved our stay here and would stay again!!
We were in Edinburgh for a family get together with seven adults and one two year-old. The property managers were very responsive to all of my questions. It was helpful that there was a portable crib and highchair available, which made our stay with a toddler so much easier. The property location is easy for walking and taking the bus. it was very comfortable for seven of us and five bedrooms. It was nice that the door to the kitchen and the living space closed so early risers wouldn’t wake up those who slept in. Please note that the apartment is on the third floor, and there is not an elevator, which we were told. at the time we stayed there was an issue with the lighting at the entrance, which made it difficult for many of us to walk up the stairs. It was nice that there were phone charger plugs in the lamps. I think this is a very comfortable and convenient choice.
