We had an excellent stay! Shahid was kind enough to let us check in early since the property had finished being cleaned. That was really helpful for some weary travelers on the day of our arrival. The unit was spotless and comfortable. I loved the huge towels! Need to find some at home!The location can’t be beat! So easy to walk to a number of historic locations. Also very convenient to have a coffee shop right downstairs!

Amazing location right on the Royal Mile! It was a very quiet night's sleep. Shahid was so helpful and answered help calls immediately. Great directions on location of the lock box. The apartment was spacious and well appointed. The stair access was challenging but not a deterrent for us. I am 74 but have no health issues and am active. The apartment ceilings are at least 12-16 feet high. The 3rd floor is a climb. The stairs are very wide and there are 2 flights per floor, carpeted, and with beautiful iron railings. Take your time. The apartment is worth it.

Very good

Great location, very nice apartment right in the center of everything. Would love an elevator in the building but not a huge deal. Would book again. We found the key box with just minor delay, but would advise future guests, when standing in the street and facing Café Nero, the key box is down the small alley directly to the left of the restaurant(host has a picture of the alley entrance in his check-in info)… Thanks to host and we may be back again some day. Enjoyed our stay.

Nice apartment right on the Royal Mile. We happen to stay there during a large festival. Thank goodness the windows in the bedrooms had double panes. However, the living/dining room does not, so it was very loud until later when the crowds lessened. Adding double panes in this room would be a huge benefit. Also, great mattress in the master, but the other room is in need of better mattress pads or at least a mattress topper. And while we knew there was 3 flights, no elevator, did not expect 65 steps. Tough with suitcases, but we carried them one by one with two people so made it work. Communication with Shahid was excellent. He checked in on us a couple of times to make sure all was well. Oh, and there is a wonderful coffee shop/evening bar with indie music right next to the apt. Would recommend this place. A few updates and it would be a 10/10!

Edinburgh visit

The property was beautiful, impressive size, clean, big windows, fantastic location. Property manager was responsive and helpful. We were not aware that the flat was many levels up with no elevator at booking, was a challenge for our senior parent. Nevertheless we would definitely recommend this rental for able bodied folks who want to be in the heart of the Edinburgh action!
