We loved the West Bow area It was a great place to experience Old Town Edinburgh The flat was set up well lots of amenities The view of West Bow was lovely It is a busy area with lots of activities at night It’s where many tourists and locals come to party on weekends The steps up to the flat would be a challenge for people with limited mobility We managed I did ask the airport transfer driver to help me with my luggage going back to the airport which was not a problem It was a good price and we had a great experience

The location is right in the middle of the Old Town and main tourist attractions, which is very convenient. The apartment is spacious with a very well equiped, and large, kitchen. There are plenty of supermarkets nearby. Naturally, the area is very busy, so lighter sleepers may want some earplugs and a sleep mask.

The location was perfect! The flat itself was nice inside. It can be very noisy due to the restaurant downstairs, emptying bottles and rubish etc. But the location absolutely makes this flat a good rental.

Overall, a great spot to stay. Right on the Grassmarket, so close to everything. Internet didn’t work in the apartment, which was unfortunate. Once we were able to connect with the owner, he was very responsive and helpful. I’m confident that he’ll get things fixed, so we do recommend this property.

Hi Robert Thanks for your feedback. Again apologies about the internet, I had to get a VIRGIN engineer out to fix and unfortuantely the earliest they could come was the day you were checking out, All fixed now thankfully. SApologies again for your inconvenience and hope you still had a great stay. Thanks Gavin

Great location and nice place

The location was excellent! Stayed there with my wife and kids and we had a good time. We did hear noise from bars and restaurants but were okay with it just because of the location.
