Home was clean and walking distance to the castle and royal mile. Would have been nice to have a “welcome basket” with a few essentials so we didn’t need to run out to the grocery store upon check-in.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our week in Edinburgh. All of the rooms are large, with big windows to let in the sunshine. The flat was clean, the beds very comfortable, and all necessary amenities provided. The kitchen was well stocked (coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, some spices). The location is incredible, easily walkable to the Royal Mile, Grassmarket, New Town, Dean Village and to meeting places for tours. There is a beautiful view of the castle just outside the door. I very highly recommend this accommodation.

Perfect!

This was our second stay at this location and it was just as great as the first time. Location is great, management is very responsive, flat was clean and quiet. Has having you need in the kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. Even my husband, whose hobby is complaining, had nothing negative to say about the flat. And what could be better than stepping out the front door and seeing the castle? I’m hoping for a third stay next year!

Spectacular Flat

Location was perfect. Everything we needed or wanted to see was a short walk or used Uber for longer distances. Flat was very nice and clean for our family of 4. Check in was super easy and owners answered any and all questions we had. Washing machine was a huge bonus. Fully functioning kitchen worked great. Plenty of space so we did not feel on top of each other. Highly recommend. Hope to be back someday.

Heart of Edinburgh

The property was spacious and clean. Bedrooms and bathrooms more than met our needs. The location provided easy access to the Castle, Markets and Bars/Restaurants. Most everything we needed was in walking distance. The farmers market just down the block was a welcome surprise. I did not realize that the apartment was located up some stairs and did not really have any outdoor space to access except out the front door of the building.

Location, location, location

The flat is located just behind Edinburgh Castle and very close to Princes St. The location for visiting Edinburgh could not be better! The flat is just like the photos. It has a very large living room, separate kitchen and dining area. It has two bedrooms, one with a double/queen bed with a large en-suite bathroom and a second large bedroom with three twin beds that can be configured as a king and a twin. The second bathroom is across the second bedroom. You have to go up a flight of stairs to enter the flat. The kitchen, in addition to the refrigerator, oven, stove, and microwave, has a French press, toaster and kettle. Just a couple of blocks away you have a variety of restaurants, coffee shops and pubs. We would definitely stay there again on any future trip to Edinburgh.

West End Flat was perfect for us!

This was the perfect place for my daughter and I to spend our holidays. We each had a room/bath, along with a large parlor, full kitchen, and dining area. It was so easy to walk to Old Town and Princes St.Several grocers were close by, and it was a 10-minute walk to the Tram and Scot Rail stations.Our trip was so much more enjoyable staying here vs a Hotel.We've already discussed staying in the same flat for future visits to Edinburgh.

Awful Accommodation!

Don't let the Pics or reviews fool you. This place was so bad we had to leave within an hour. It had an awful odor, the furniture was worn out stained, the rugs were dirty and stained, and there was mold in the bathroom. We immediately contacted the property management and did not receive a prompt response. A week later they said they sent someone out and did not detect the odor. I had to find a hotel at the last minute which was extremely costly. Now the management company is saying no refund. I would not stay at this location and I would not trust or deal with this property management company.

As a family, we stayed 8 nights and just loved this location and property. It was an excellent home away from home, with a great kitchen, laundry options, plenty of space for downtime, two showers and a superb location for seeing Edinburgh. We were able to walk to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh train station, the castle, University of Edinburgh and lots of other locations very easily.

The Best Vacation Ever

We loved it. My husband, my adult son, and I could not have been happier with the location, the openness and size of the Flat (tons of closet space), and thrilled to have a washer/dryer. We walked and walked this magnificent City. There is no need to bring anything but sneakers, and be prepared for hills and many steps. Uber's were great, but we preferred to walk and walk. Our hosts were great, responding before the trip with any questions and even providing local bars to watch football or rugby, which we did. Food was excellent everywhere. Being in the old town right below the castle was incredible. Walk out each day, and there it was. I plan to come back and rent the same Flat with a girlfriend. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent
