Great location for stay in Edinburgh

This is a great location for Edinburgh. About 15 minutes from the city centre, but Leith has a great selection of eateries in the area from takeaways to eat in - cheaper to more lavish experiences. We loved the Rose Leaf Pub, East Pizzas and we had Britannia Spice deliver on one evening when our feet were worn out. Good bus routes outside the apartments and also nearby you can use the hop on hop off tourist buses. The apartment is well equipped and was larger than we thought, having two good sized bedrooms a nice light lounge and a separate dining room. Only a 5-10 minute walk to the Royal Yacht Britannia (which was a great experience). Would and have recommended to friends and family.

Overall, a comfortable flat & well equipped. We are all over 80 years old , so disappointed that our nearest lift wS not working. Stairways entrance & corridors could do with a really good lean. Near a bus stop, no.16 to city. Good.

Great stay in Leith

Our stay was, again, superb. We stayed in this location a few years ago and had such a pleasant experience that we returned. Everything in the flat was terrific and the Leith area is a lovely place to visit. We hope to visit again in the near future.

Perfect flat in the perfect location.

Very clean and comfortable apartment. Lots of restaurants, cafes and pubs in very short walking distance. The bus stop was right outside the building with frequent departures to downtown Edinburgh and all the sights. I would highly recommend this flat!

Visit to Edinburgh

The flat met our needs perfectly. Clean, enough space, easy access to public transportation. The only downside was there was not a lot of air flow and the doors all closed on their own unless propped open. That made it a bit tricky at night but all in all we were very pleased.

Spacious two bedroom flat on multiple transit lines. Easy access in and out to everywhere.

This rental couldn’t have been better located. Simple access to and from the airport, the train station, The Old Town, the New Town and all points in between. Grocery across the street. Shops, pubs, and cafés a short walk away. Blocks from the Water of Leith. Communication with the property managers was clear, easy, and quick. The flat was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I highly recommend considering a stay here over something closer to the Royal Mile. Leith is a gem.

Great Stay in Leith

This is a large apartment compared to where we usually stay--two bedrooms, two baths, living room, dining room. It's on a major city bus route so getting into town is easy. We had everything we needed and were comfortable. I'd stay again if I went back to Edinburgh (highly likely!)

Amazing Flat in Leith!

The flat was so perfect for my son and I! We relied fully on public transportation to get around Edinburgh as well as points north and south. No problem! The bus stop was steps away. The flat was spacious and very clean and well appointed. As it’s in Leith, it is about a 25 minute bus ride to city center but the area is so cute with nice pubs and restaurants. Martin was very responsive to all my questions and the check in/check out process was very smooth. I would definitely stay here again.

Great time in Leith

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We found it very convenient (very close to the bus line), with an Aldi right across the street and several excellent restaurants and shopping nearby. The flat was clean, quiet, and had everything we might possibly need. The Host was extremely accommodating and responsive. All in all, we had a fantastic stay and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Familienfreundliche Unterkunft

Wir haben eine Woche im April in der Wohnung verbracht. Die Lage war für uns optimal, da weg vom Trubel der Altstadt und verkehrsgünstig gelegen. Wir kamen bequem mit den verschiedenen Bussen zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Der SkyLink-Flughafenexpress hält sogar in Laufnähe zur Commercial Street. Sämtliche Fenster liegen zur ruhigen Gebäuderückseite hin, sodass wir mit offenen Fenstern schlafen konnten. Die Fenster verfügen über extra Kindersicherungen. Freudig überrascht, fanden wir bei unserer Ankunft Mineralwasser und Milch im Kühlschrank und auch die gängigsten Gewürze im Küchenschrank vor. Zum Lebensmitteleinkaufen befindet sich ein Aldi direkt gegenüber. Begeistert hat uns der Vierschlitztoaster. Dass die Küche kein Fenster hat, stört nicht, da der Abzug über dem Herd leistungsstark funktioniert. Heizung, Warmwasser und sämtliche Ausstattungen funktionieren einwandfrei. Es gibt ein Badewannen- und ein Duschbad jeweils mit Toilette. Nur die Hebel der Toilettenspülungen brauchten eine energische Bedienung. Sämtlich benötigte Bedienungsanleitungen, sowie Tips finden sich übersichtlich in einem Ordner im Wohnzimmer. Das Wohngebäude ist wohl ein ehemaliges altes Speichergebäude, da die Wände und Decken hellhörig sind. Wir können die Wohnung auch für längere Aufenthalte wärmsten empfehlen.

a happy home

The property was lovely & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. I belong to Leith & it was lovely seeing the whisky bonds turned into such lovely flats. We intend booking up more often as in the past we have stayed elsewhere but really want to stay at the flat. I will be sorting out dates in the next few days. We were also impressed that it is so well double glazed that we heard nothing from the outside. The people we had to contact when the alarm went off couldn't have done enough for us. Again thank you. Keep up the good work Iona

Great apartment

The apartment was spacious and very clean. There was plenty of room for our family of four. There are quite a few good restaurants in the neighborhood, on both sides of the bridge. The bus stop is right outside the apartment building. The location is too far to walk to town so we took the bus every day. The bus schedule was easy to follow and we bought tickets on-line. Although the apartment is great, if we return to Edinburgh, we will stay closer to town.

Great off the beaten path location

My brother, sister-in-law and I made this lovely apartment our home base for a two week vacation in Scotland. It was nice to feel off the beaten path with the comprehensive bus connection out the back door. Easily made it to all the locations we wanted to see. The only negatives were no mechanical dryer and the convenient lift of three available was broken. Both were overcome by will and ingenuity. I loved the place. What can I say? colored lights all night if you chose to watch and Scots flags flying out the rear window! Well stocked kitchen, had everything we needed. Once we figured out the hot water heater all was great
