We really enjoyed our stay here. The area is easily accessible on foot, by bus, or by taxi/Uber. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a lovely review, Melanie! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and we are certainly looking forward to welcoming you back in Edinburgh!
We had a wonderful stay here for our week in Edinburgh! Amazing access to the University & all other areas of the city. Access to a diversity of fantastic food (we ate Scottish, Japanese, Spanish, Italian & Chinese). The home was in great shape & perfect for us: 2 BRs, good bath & kitchen/dining enough for a small Thanksgiving dinner. Lastly, the Old Bell Inn—only steps away from the front door—is a gem. So grateful for the memories. Thank you, Alison!

I stayed here for two nights with my family for my graduation at the UoE. The location is excellent, the apartment was very clean and well-equipped, and the host was great at communicating. I would definitely return.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Paulo! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that everything met your expectations. Congratulations on your graduation! We look forward to welcoming you and your family back in the future.
Moving our son to University, we found the apartment to be a perfect fit for our needs.
The kitchen was well furnished, the sleeping arrangements comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet, and the owners quickly responded to our questions.
The bus route was a quick 4-minute walk away, there was a Tesco in the same block, and several restaurants close by.
It was a wonderful stay!

Booking was straightforward.
Host and managing company communications were clear and prompt with useful, friendly advice provided.
Access was clear and our arrival was straightforward.
The apartment was clean and bright.
The location was excellent for Summerhall and a short walk to the Meadows.
No problems with any Uber or Deliveroo drivers finding the apartment.
Thank you for a great stay.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled that you had a great stay and found everything to your satisfaction, from the booking process to the apartment's location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
This was the perfect property for me and my daughter. We were over in Edinburgh from the US for a week to visit family. The location is a bit out of the city centre but perfect for us. The property was just 5 minutes walk from my brothers house and 10 mins walk from my mum's flat. Although it's on a busy street it was very quiet at night. We had no trouble sleeping thanks to the double glazing. All the things that we needed to make our stay comfortable were provided. We visit Edinburgh a lot and we will definitely try and rent this flat again.

Thanks for your review Elizabeth. So glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to get around the city hassle-free. The location is truly ideal being next to the old town and just 5 minutes from the Meadows. Hope to see you again in the near future
Lovely apartment. All amenities (and more) provided. It was great to get "home" after a busy day sightseeing. Easy walk to the centre. Quiet location. Great Pizza shop next door (Zia Italia) with a real Italian Chef. Great Indian restaurant across the street (Pataka).
So all in all a wonderful place to stay (family of four, 2 teenage children)

Thanks so much for your informative review Ingrid! We're so glad to hear you had a good time during your trip and enjoyed the apartment. The food options nearby really are fantastic, we hope you can return to Edinburgh soon, thanks!
Nice property and very well equipped and clean. We liked the location.
Suited our needs, as it was just the two of us we could afford to eat out every evening, all the restaurants we ate at were local and very good. Alison made lots of contact with us and gave us good information about the local area etc. I hope the festival will return next year as we also hope to return.

Amazing apartment - great location and everything you need
From the booking process to the arrival information and the stay itself everything was wonderful about this apartment. It was furnished well and we liked the added touches of fresh flowers and tea and coffee. The apartment was warm and very clean. The location was ideal with easy bus rides into the city and a local pub and Tesco a few feet away which was great. We would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment - thank you.

really nicely presented, clean, well equipped
A very nice apartment just a few minutes from the main attractions in Edinburgh city centre. All amenities very close by. You don't need a car if you stay here! The apartment was very well presented, everything worked fine. The kitchen and bathroom are in very good condition and there's plenty of space for four in two bedrooms. We will be booking again soon!
