This apartment is amazing! It was beautiful and clean and the communication prior to our stay was great. It was the perfect location for our stay - we could walk pretty much anywhere we wanted to go, and when we did want a taxi, we never had a long wait. We can’t wait to come back!!

What a lovely review, thank you! We're so happy everything worked so well for your trip and even more pleased to hear you're already thinking about a return visit. We'll keep the lights on for you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re very glad you enjoyed the comfort and convenience of the apartment, and hope to welcome you back to Scotland soon!
The location was perfect for exploring old town and the views from the parlor and main bedroom were truly stunning! Everything was very well appointed and very clean. The communication with the host was easy and responses were prompt. This was a perfect place for our family to stay during our time in Edinburgh!!
The location is spectacular and the flat is beautifully decorated. It is even more spacious than shown on the website. Host was responsive and accommodating. I believe you will love it - we definitely would stay here again!Traveler notes: If you have a car, there is a car park right across the street. If you use parking through an app, be aware that many don't allow in/out privileges (you might guess that is the mistake I made!). Also, the flat is on the second floor of a walk up - for excellent cardio.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed the apartment’s location and elegant feel, and that communication was smooth. It’s great to hear you found it both peaceful and well connected to the city - exactly what we hope to offer!
We traveled all over France and the UK on this trip, and this property was by far the most wonderful of our accommodations. Perfectly located, elegant, clean, quiet - we could not have asked for more.

We loved our time Edinburgh. The apartment was beautiful with stunning views of the castle and great space on both the bedrooms and common spaces. The apartment was clean and well taken care of. Basic supplies were provided. The location was perfect for walking to locations in both old and new towns. It was a perfect space for our group traveling with family ages 83-11.

This apartment was a perfect place for a family. We had so much room for the kids to play while we could relax after sightseeing. It had a sophisticated and warm feeling and is perfect as it is so close to the castle, Royal Mile and public transportation. It had every convenience for a long stay plus it was right across the street from a park!
