Terrific Stay in Edinburgh

We had a wonderful time in Edinburgh and this apartment was perfect for us. Spacious, clean and quiet. Laura and Maureen were terrific hosts and we would definitely stay here again the next time we visit. Easy to get to all the fun things to do near the Royal Mile either by walking or by bus. There is a bus stop very close by and plenty of restaurants too. Beds were comfortable, the living room was nice and sunny and the apartment even has a washing machine. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our visit!

Great stay in Edinburgh

Great location. Comfortable stay. Very easy check in. The host was waiting for us when we arrived. Familiarized us with the apartment and even drove us to a safe place to park our rental car for the few days we stayed. Loved the area. Great shops and restaurants nearby. Dean village is a lovely walk nearby. Appreciated the milk and food snacks left by the host

Delightful flat in Stockbridge

The location of this flat was great. We could walk to almost all of the main attractions in Edinburgh. The owner was great to work with. She communicated well and responded to our questions promptly. They provided everything we needed and included flowers, coffee, shortbread cookies and even arranged for us to check in a bit early.

Lovely flat, well appointed, in charming area! We will be back!

Laura's flat in Stockbridge was the perfect place to stay while visiting Edinburgh. Many thoughtful extras- fruit and nibbles on arrival, umbrellas, books and nana cart made it seem we had been given keys to a friend's pied de terre rather then rented through VRBO. The flat itself is cozy, light filled and comfortable. Definitely one to remember!

Fantastic flat in the heart of Edinburgh

Loved, loved, loved the flat. Two bedrooms - roomy, airy and light. The two bedrooms backed onto a green space, so we slept to the sound of rustling leaves - so restful. Kitchen is perfectly appointed and the living room was spacious with plenty of seating. Laura was fantastic to deal with - lots of helpful suggestions and very accommodating. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location for a shopping trip to Edinburgh.

Lovely apartment but really needed a deep clean. Misleading advertisement as it sleeps 4 in 2 rooms, one double, one twin room. There were 3 in my party, yet we were hit with an "extra guest" charge??? The lady who met us was lovely, showed me around and asked if we could keep the noise down in the stairwell as they had had problems with another guest. No problem at all, but then I received a text message of the owner who asked again for us to please keep the noise down in the stairwell, which was unnecessary. We had no intention of getting drunk and causing chaos in the building. The rugs in the living room also made the floor really slippery, and the television didn't turn on or off with the remote control, you had to go in the cupboard and turn it off at the switch. My towel was also covered in bleach stains and should not have been used for a paying guest. The owner left a lovely welcome pack which was very much appreciated, however, I felt like I had already paid for it myself with the "extra guest" charge!!!

Lovely Stockbridge Stay!

This jewel of an apartment could not be better located. You can walk everywhere, but all you need is right there. The space is clean and bright, with lots of sunshine coming through the windows. The kitchen is perfectly appointed; the bedrooms worked out well for us. Thank you,Laura for being the perfect hostess. To Note: if you want to try the absolute best meat pies please go to Harkness, just down the road by the new Marks and Spencer. All hand made, these pies are genuinely the best I have ever eaten!!

Stay in Edinburgh

The location of the appartement is great to visit Edimburgh.It is walking distance from many great areas. The only draw back is the door on the main level of the building. When people want to get in or out the building they have to slam the door and this is quite disturbing especially at night or early morning. Also, the furniture in the living room is outdated so it is not confortable at all. So for the price paid, I was expecting a more confortable furniture in the living room and also the chairs of the dining table are cheap quality.

Charming, Quiet and Clean Apartment in an Ideal Location

We loved our stay here. The location in beautiful Stockbridge is ideal-we loved lunch at Hamilton’s around the corner, and Scottish cheddar from the nearby cheese shop. Laura, our host was so easy to work with and answered our messages promptly; Catriona met us at the apartment, showed how to use the heat and the shower (complex), and left us with milk for coffee in the morning. The apartment was sunny, comfortable and clean; the bed was comfortable. We will return!

What a wonderful apartment

Such a lovely property. From the time we booked several months prior to our stay, all the way until check-in, the owner stayed in touch. The apartment is well furnished, very clean and well-kept. It’s in a wonderful location close to shops, restaurants and the Edinburgh Castle/Royal Mile area, as well as museums and art galleries.

Birthday trip to Edinburgh

Lovely flat in Stockbridge in a central location that also provided a bit of peace & quiet away from the crowds. All necessities were there and we had a lovely welcome basket & fresh flowers to boot! Don’t miss the Stockbridge Market on Sundays or the lovely Water of Leith walkway for a dose of nature right in the city.
