The property was beautifully remodeled. There was a nice coffee shop close to apartment. Was a little bit of a hike walking to major attractions. Nice quiet neighborhood to stay!
Clean cozy apartment in a great location. Only change I recommend is adding a few items for guests such as tissues, paper towels, extra bath towels, information about the neighborhood and map
We stayed in this apartment for about a week and it was perfectly situated. The street was quiet and it was within easy walking distance of Edinburgh Castle. The experience was excellent overall!
The flat was well situated. A spacious one bed flat that was very comfortable. Pity the bathroom was not a little larger or a different configuration. We would stay here again
Good location. Flat was exactly as described. Easy walk to the bus stop where you could catch the 35 which takes you pretty much anywhere yo need to go.
The Flat was comfortable and met our needs during our stay in Edinburgh. Parking is not abundant for the flat, as most street parking is by permit only during the day.
The flat is lovely and very clean. The position is very central, with many nice cafes (Little Fitzroy, Polentoni) and food shops nearby, and many buses going to the centre or to Portobello stop in this area. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need to cook meals. We really recommend this flat!
Terrific little apartment. Remindful of Brooklyn: not much to look at from the outside, but absolutely lovely when you open the door. Well-equipped, warm, excellent amenities. Only negative is parking: virtually impossible nearby. We found a place a block away and didn't dare move the car for entire two days. Nothing Barry can do about this, but it's definitely the ONLY flaw.

Thank you for the great review! I agree that parking can be difficult outside the apartment at busy times but there are other times when it can be very easy. If it is busy then you can normally get a space within 10 mins. Please bear in mind that this is free parking. To park for free this close to the main sites is almost unheard of in Edinburgh. Paid parking is easy at all times. Thanks again!
We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. My partner was able to work remotely and had no trouble with internet or noise. The place was full of light and confortable for him to work. For me, it was really nice to come back "home" after a day of walking around in the city. Everything is at a walkable distance, yet we did not feel as we were living in a touristic area, which was nice. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would absolutely come back if we are ever in Edimbourg again.
The apartment was exactly as pictured. We were really happy with the kitchen and washer/dryer. Windows let in lots of natural light. The bedroom was big - we were wishing the bed was a queen instead of a double. We felt safe in the neighbourhood and walked everywhere. Holyrood Palace was about a 20 minute walk, Waverly Station about 25. I’d definitely recommend this apartment.
Apartment is as advertised. Clean & newly remodeled. We brought an in-tub plastic mat ( cut down to ~18” square which was very helpful in this very clean but smooth slanted modest sized tub with shower head & curtain.). Use google maps for best walking & bus routes.
( Remember that walking time can take a bit longer than estimated in g maps )
Great value and proximity to everything in Edinburgh
We stayed here four nights on our first visit to Edinburgh. This apartment was great!! Very nice and quiet neighborhood that was only 1-2 blocks away from bus stops that would take you literally anywhere in Edinburgh. Less than 15 minutes walk/bus ride to major tourist venues. Coffee shops, hardware/grocery stores easy walking distance.
Very nice comfortable apartment. Price was reasonable compared to listings closer to major tourist venues that were much more expensive. It would have been nice if there were instructions for use of combo washer/dryer.
Everything was as expected. The place was clean, modern, and well organized. Location was convenient, and while being close to the center of the old and new town, it is removed enough to find peace and quiet. The amenities are however rudimentary and the basics were absent. We had to purchase a floor fan and there were no cleaning products or vacuum cleaner to maintain the apartment during our stay. We had to buy cleaning products and the broom was a tiny hand held, impossible to clean the place with. Otherwise, the shower curtain needs to be changed as it's moldy at the bottom. But don't let these details distract you from a great place at the heart of Edinburgh! I would revisit and recommend highly.

Clean, comfortable, great location
We found the unit to be very comfortable. It’s quiet, well appointed and has nice views of the area. It’s a small unit so not well suited for more than 2 adults. Note that if you use both available double beds, there is an added charge. Barry responded quickly to any questions we had and Was very helpful. We needed a few items in order to use the kitchen and Barry was prompt in getting the things we needed. Location was good and we were glad for the 2 nearby bus stops for our long travel days. Overall, we enjoyed the accommodation.

Thank you very much for the review! Just to clarify. If there are 2 guests and the sofabed is required there is a £15 fee for the laundry. If more than 2 guests then it’s included in the price. Thanks again!!

I’m sorry that you feel that our communication was poor with regards to the check in process. We sent you full check in details in time for your arrival as was explained beforehand, you thanked us and checked in without any issue that we are aware of. You also sent us a message telling us how much you loved the apartment. I hope the rest of your vacation went well.
Perfect place for a two couples or a family of 4. The apartment is perfectly located away from the bustle and bustle of old town for a good nights rest. It’s is literally 4 bus stops from Waverly train station and a (wee) walk, with a convenience store just as you get off the bus. The bed and pull out sofa bed are very comfortable, the couches are also comfy. Kitchen is good size, but the table is tiny, but serves the purpose. It could be a bit more stocked, as there were no condiments nor napkins/paper towels. The bathroom is updated, but small. I caution if you have difficulty getting out of tubs as it is pretty slippery and sort of awkward. The host was Great!! I would definitely book again.
Lovely gem of a flat close to waverly and royal mile
We had a wonderful stay! The flat is recently renovated and is quite chic with all the modern conveniences you may need. The area is very quiet (except for the sea gulls!) It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the Royal Mile from the flat. We would definitely stay here again. My only complaint was that the check in process was a bit harried. The door code is sent right before check-in, and because we had our US phones with spotty international service, the code (which comes as a picture file) wouldn't come thru. Barry was super responsive and we were finally able to gain access via whatsapp when I found a pub with free wifi. It just would have been a lot less stressful if the code was sent a few days before instead of minutes before check-in.

Thank you for a great review! I am sorry that the key procedure did not work out for you as it does for the majority of our guests. For your safety and security the key safe codes are changed on a regular basis. We can email, Whatsapp or text the codes to guests. This is done after the apartment has been serviced. With very few exceptions our guests find this a great, hassle free procedure. We hope to see you again soon!

Clean but major discrepancies
The property was definitely clean and was in a great location. But, there were some major discrepancies between the Vrbo post and the instructions once you were inside. I think it might be dual listed with Vrbo and another letting agency, so there are two different instructions.
The first, and most severe difference was with beds. My friend and I were travelling together but searched for Vrbo properties based on whether or not it had 2 beds. This Vrbo said that it had a bed and a pull out couch. The listing says, "a large bright sitting room with a 2 piece suite which converts to an extremely comfortable sofabed." The ad also says, "The sitting room also contains a large double sofa bed, allowing this apartment to sleep up to four guests" and " All bookings are based on sharing" whatever that meant. We arrived at the Vrbo and found that sharing meant that the linens and sheets for the sofa bed were locked in a trunk unless we paid more. For the price that we paid, that was extremely disappointing and struck me as dishonest.
The other discrepancies had to do with timings. Vrbo said that we should get the code for the keys that morning. I messaged the host who said that we wouldn't get the code until just before check in (an hour or so). That wasn't ideal because we were travelling and didn't know if we'd have WiFi when we arrived to get the code.
Check out time listed on Vrbo was also different from the printed instructions inside.

I’m sorry that you did not understand how it worked. For more than 2 guests a sofabed is provided automatically. For 2 guests you have the option to pay extra for the sofabed laundry. This was all explained in the message sent to you after you booked. You could also have spoken to me and I could have explained. This review is the first time I have heard from you. Key safe instructions are provided just before check in so that there is no risk of guests entering apartments whilst other guests are still there.
Eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung in einfachem Haus. Zentrumsnahe Lage super. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter perfekt.
We enjoyed the neighborhood location, access to food shops, walkable to areas of interest. Nice to have 'our own place' at the end of our trip. Apartment was comfortable and well-equipped, except the bathroom was really tiny. We were extremely careful stepping out of the tub. A shower stall would have been a better choice for that little space.
