An October Holiday

This location was ideal for all of the activities we wanted to do in Edinburgh. Close to great restaurants and all the tourist attractions on the Royal Mile. The space was large and completely private. We felt it was ours alone for the week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The one downfall was the front door lock to the building. It's a shared door and the only access from the outside to the whole building, and the lock was incredibly difficult to manage. We would spend 5 minutes each night fiddling with the key in the lock until it finally opened. But once inside everything was what we needed.

A lovely flat in a great location.

I was able to get in early and leave my luggage, then explore the neighborhood while the apartment was cleaned. I brought my own shampoo, which was needed, otherwise everything was there that I needed, including coffee! The information folder was very helpful. The living room was so pleasant, and I spent many relaxing hours there morning and evening, and the view over Greyfriar’s Kirk was beautiful. The bed was comfortable and cozy. I would definitely stay here again!

It's the perfect location to see Edinburgh!!

This flat was perfectly located to see anything on the Royal Mile! Edinburgh Castle was less than 15 minutes to walk, Palace of Holyroodhouse on the other side of the Royal Mile took a little longer but still walkable. There are PLENTY of taxis to take you places if walking is not your thing plus the bus system was great. The Meadows was just a walk away and there are SO MANY places to eat for any cuisine that you want. And I have never been in communication with a VRBO owner as I did with Martin. He always replied back to me but he also gave us information about our stay, places to see, etc. in his welcome email. We used WhatsApp to communication as well. Very good experience with Martin! For those that have not traveled to these very old cities, please know that the buildings are older and tent to be smaller. Martin's flat was clean, well supplied, etc. but, especially for those first time visitors, it's different. And Edinburgh is NOT a flat city so there is a lot of walking up and down. We averaged 7-10 miles a day AND averaged walking up 37 floors according to my fitbit. The first 2 days were tough but then we got used to it. SO WORTH IT TOO! Enjoy!
