We travelled with our 2 teenage children (14 and 17) to Edinburgh and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Laura’s. Communication and checkin were excellent. Stockbridge is a fabulous place to stay. Easy to walk everywhere and gorgeous pubs/restaurants all around. We would definitely return.

Great location! Laura communicated with us throughout our stay and answered all of our questions. She also gave us some great recommendations of things to do and places to eat near the apartment.

Nice rental in charming location

Very nice place. The owner Laura was very responsive to all of our questions, and very welcoming and accommodating. The place was comfortable and clean. The location was good. We could walk to the Royal Mile, or easily take the city bus. The neighborhood is charming with restaurants and pubs within easy walking. I would definitely stay here again.

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.

Excellent location and a home away from home.

Laura communicated often and quickly before our arrival and even checked in on our stay after we settled! The flat was comfortable and cozy with a lot of information available on Edinburgh and Scotland. Comfortable beds and amazing linens. Lots of steps up to the flat, but a great view of the street and all the local shops. Centrally located, it was easy to get around the entire city.

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
