Thank you for taking the time to review your stay - I'm so glad to hear that you had such a lovely time. We really appreciate you choosing to stay with The Edinburgh Address and hope to host you again next time you are in Scotland.
Location & property were perfect for 2 couples visiting Edinburgh. The 5 flights of stairs were okay for us but could be challenging for anyone with major mobility issues or very heavy luggage. We loved our stay!

The apartment was centrally located & we were able to walk to all the places we wanted to visit.
We all loved the apartment which was very clean & tastefully furnished.
We would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay and hope we can welcome you back soon.
We had an amazing stay at the property! Communication with the property manager before our stay was wonderful, as were the instructions (and pictures) provided for accessing the apartment and parking space when we arrived. The apartment is lovely, and is exactly as pictured. We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our stay. The apartment is just a couple of blocks from both Princes Street and Rose Street, filled with restaurants, pubs, and shops, but removed enough from the action for a good night’s sleep. It was also only a 15-20 minute walk from the heart of Old Town. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re in Edinburgh.

This was the perfect place for my husband and son to stay while in Edinburgh!
The flat is shown accurately in the pictures. It is a lovely flat! The beds were comfortable and all we needed was provided. The location was excellent and we were able to walk to most anything we needed or wanted to do. I would definitely stay here again.

Lots of steps, 72 to be precise! But it is lovely. Great amenities and three baths! The washer dryer is a combo machine, but works great. Loved our stay.

Thanks for staying with us Mary, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us!
The apartment is beautiful and in a great location. We walked to go sightseeing, grocery shopping, out for meals, etc. It was also a very easy place to get Ubers and having the parking spot in back was a bonus. The warning about the stairs to the apartment is very real, but is it worth every step!

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
The apartment is in a fantastic location, and the height gives it great views. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed every part of your stay both in the property and visiting all that Edinburgh has to offer!
We very much enjoyed our one week stay in this well appointed apartment in the very nice New Town area of Edinburgh. The website pictures of the apartment accurately represent the unit; in fact, this apartment is probably more even attractive in person than in the pictures. The unit was comfortable and more than spacious for our group of 4 adults. Lastly, the property manager (Karen) was responsive and helpful with respect to all aspects of our stay.

Thanks so much for your glowing review Garen, great to hear the apartment lived up to your expectations and then some. It would be a pleasure to host you the next time you're in Edinburgh. Thanks!
The apartment is very spacious and lovely! All of the rooms were large and well appointed, including two comfy blankets for those cool mornings. The bedrooms were also super comfy and spacious, and the bathrooms (and kitchen) were modern and comfortable. It is definitely one of the nicest apartments we've ever stayed in while traveling, and perfect for us (4 adults). Would highly recommend. My husband did most of the communications with the property manager as he arrived first and has What'sApp (I do not--you or someone in your party will need this to communicate) but I believe entry (and exit) was easy. The location is ideal--we could walk to everything or take a short walk to the train or bus (public transport is fabulously easy in Edinburgh). We stayed at the start of the Fringe and our location was much quieter and less busy than the Old Town area (which is about a 20-25 minute walk away). We were warned and I'll warn you as well--the unit is on the top floor, 72 steps up! Just something to keep in mind if anyone in your party has mobility issues. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment and highly recommend!

eine fantastische Wohnung in einer wundervollen Stadt
Wir haben unseren Urlaub in dieser tollen geräumigen Wohnung verbracht und jeden Tag genossen. Sehr gemütlich waren die Sitzmöglichkeiten an den Fenstern mit den Innenklappläden.
Die Inneneinrichtung (egal ob Möbel oder Bilder) luden zum Wohlfühlen ein. Die Lage der Wohnung zwischen Queen- und Princessstreet ist für Unternehmungen optimal. Wir danken für die tolle Unterstützung und Hilfsbereitschaft der Mitarbeiter vor Ort. See you next time Edinburgh.

Vielen Dank für Ihre fantastische Bewertung, Doreen, großartig, dass hier alles Ihren Standards entsprach. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei Ihrem nächsten Besuch in Edinburgh wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen.
We had a lovely stay. The apartment was very comfortable. The beds were nice and each couple had an ensuite bathroom plus an additional full Bathroom in the common area. The neighborhood was very nice close to everything. The only negative was the 5-floor walk-up and no fans for the bedrooms. We loved our stay

Very comfortable apartment.
The apartment was very comfortable and quite quiet. They were lots of good places for eating and a few drinks, all within a one to three block radius. And too many to count with in an 10 minute walk. We would most definitely stay there again. However, the four long flights of stairs up is probably not good for overwrought/ extremely out of shape persons

Beautiful Rental
This is a beautiful apartment in a perfect location. We loved that it was near restaurants and princes street, but farther from the crowds of the royal mile. It was decorated beautifully with everything a person could need in the kitchen with laundry included. It has two ensuite bathrooms, which is great as we travelled with another couple. A couple pieces of constructive criticism would be: 1) Have a couple of fans available to put in the windows in the summer. No AC, which usually isn't necessary, but we had a couple of very warm days and fans would help. 2) New mattresses. At least in the room overlooking North Charlotte Street. The mattress drooped and was very thin on the right side. 3) Room darkening curtains in the room overlooking north charlotte st like you have in the other bedroom.
That being said, I would certainly stay here again. Great service. They also had free parking, which was great.

Great weekend away
Fantastic property, exactly like the photos. Be warned the stair do become hard work. Couple of downsides; the double bed has roll together due to the design of the bed frame, not good for couples, there is an nespresso machine even if the letting didn't realise (lead to one extra trip up the stairs being our own from home which wasn't needed), the security code to enter the car park doesn't work from the street side, luckily we hadn't posted the keys back. All in all great stay, just minor niggles.
