Parliament Square apartment, Edinburgh

Very tidy, clean and spacious apartment. Well equipped. Ideal location for getting around Edinburgh. Owner was very accommodating when we wanted to check out a couple of hours later. Would stay there again, and would recommend to others.

Great location

Clean, tidy and well equipped apartment with a fantastic location. Owners were very responsive to queries. Only downside for us was the amount of stairs to apartment (no lift) particularly for older guests. That said can highly recommend.

Wonderful apartment in central position overlooking Royal Mile.

Amazing central location close to attractions and restaurants. The apartment was beautiful and was spacious and comfortable. Great views of the Royal Mile - including a great vantage point to watch the street performers! The host, Shahid, was very nice and helpful and could be contacted if required during our stay. Would absolutely book this apartment again! Only downside is that the sheer number of stairs made it hard work with heavy suitcases. Saying that, we were aware of this before we booked, but it did not deter us!

Outstanding Apartment

My wife and I and two friends stayed for 3 nights. Outstanding apartment with a perfect location. Exactly as described and spotlessly clean. Communication with the owner Shahid was first class. Only one very minor negative was the Wi Fi was a touch unreliable but it wasn’t really an issue. Overall very enjoyable and would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone anytime they wanted to stay in Edinburgh. Thanks Shahid.

Loation, location, location

Great location which could not have been better. Apartment was close to everything that we wanted for our stay in Edinburgh and especially close to the wedding we attended at the Signet Library. Apartment was spacious, very clean and true to the photos on the website. It was fabulous to be able to look out on all the activity happening below on the Royal Mile. As visitors from Australia we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh. Great to have a washing machine and dryer to be able to use and the little extras such as a few small grocery items, washing powder which we replaced were an added bonus. Lots of stairs but we treated them as a much needed workout! Thanks Shahid for a great stay.

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!

Honestly, there was really nothing that I could think of negatively that I could write about this booking. Great location, great host/communicator, reasonably priced for the location. For us it was an awesome vacation. Clean and property was exactly as described. If you have difficulty getting up and down stairs, then maybe not the place for you, but then again, Edinburgh would not be a good place to visit if you don't want to climb stairs/hills. Overall, we completely enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!

Great Location for trip to Edinburgh

Stayed two nights while we explored Old Town Edinburgh. Excellent location. Taxi can drop off right out front of the apartment. Accommodations we clean and comfortable. There is 5 flights of stairs to climb but it was manageable. Very close to everything. Coffee shop right downstairs. Apartment did not have a hair dryer or bath products (shampoo/body wash) so need to bring your own other than that it was a spectacular space.

Convenient

We enjoyed our stay in this apartment. We are a family of 5 with teens. The location is so convenient to everything people love to see and do in Edinburgh. There are fantastic restaurants and cafes right out the front door. A grocery is just a 5 minute walk. We would stay here again. The apartment does require you to go up 5 flights of stairs. However they are large and easy to navigate. We didn’t mind taking our full size luggage up. Rashid was very helpful and quick to communicate about anything we needed.

Edinburgh Sight Seeing Trip

This was a perfect location for visiting Edinburgh. Overlooks the Royal mile and is easy walking distance to Edinburgh Castle or the Palace of Holyrood which are at each end. Many of the street performances are right out the window below. Plenty of neat tours to take for Edinburgh of the past. The price is competitive with the hotels, but you get a huge living area, a full kitchen, and two bedrooms with ample roaming around room instead of a cramped hotel

In the heart of Edinburgh

Spacious, clean and comfortable apartment right on the Royal Mile, across the street from Mary King’s Close and blocks from the castle and train station. This is a fantastic place to stay to explore Edinburgh. Host communication was easy. The stairs are a bit of a challenge with luggage but worth it once you’re settled in. I’d definitely stay here again if we come back, which I hope we do!
