Very clean, charming, and near Holyrood park
I recently stayed at this charming two-bedroom flat with my mom and a family friend. We thought it was very clean and enjoyed having breakfast and coffee in the kitchen nook each morning. We were there to visit the Edinburgh Fringe and check out the city for the first time and it was a great place to have our home base. The bus stops were nearby and it was fairly walkable. We would stay there again!

Lovely spot
We had a great time in this flat for our weekend in Edinburgh. We also had a friend stay on the sofa bed, and the living room was great because it has its own door.

Right next to Arthur's Seat
The photos are accurate, although a little dated (walls scuffed, more worn carpet). One section of the path around Holyrood Park is 20 feet from the building door. It is a little further to Holyrood Palace and the Royal Mile, but still very walkable. There is a grocery store just up the street. It's not the fanciest place in town, but it is a good price, especially for a 2 bedroom!
Tony always answered our emails quickly. The check in directions when smoothly - once we figured out the Scottish building numbering system! : ) Our bad!

Birthday & Christmas celebrations
Flat isn’t as bright as appears in photos. Towels & bed linen were brilliant, beds comfortable.
However felt the kitchen could do with a deep clean, pizza in microwave when we opened it & oven not clean, we had planned to cook Christmas dinner but had to have it cooked at family member due inadequate oven.Takes at least 46mins to heat up!
Location was good also.
A small Christmas tree or even a few fairy lights would have been a bonus too.
Also instructions on where rubbish/recycling was to go would be good!

November in Edinburgh
Lots of space, fairly well equipped. Walking to town through the park and past the palace was a delight. Easy check in with clear directions. Fish smell in the unit every night (probably from someone cooking in a neighboring apartment), but it went away quickly just by opening a window or two for a few minutes. Beds were very comfortable, even the sleeper sofa. Linens were clean and crisp. Solid wifi access which was good because it was a bit of a dead spot for cellular data. Overall a very good experience and a lovely time in Edinburgh for the Christmas Market.

Fine for 1-2 nights
This property had pros and cons
Pros: Clean linens, great location and very responsive property manager. Very nice to have a parking spot as well.
Cons: Definitely dingier than appeared in photos, shower on high setting went between hot and cold and didn't hold a consistent temp, and bathroom set up was weird (ex. the vanity was installed so high you can't use the mirror).
Overall, ok for 1-2 nights to explore Edinburgh

Edinburgh stay
The Waverley apartment was very well-suited for our needs. It was well situated for what we wanted to do while we were in Edinburgh. Close to Arthur’s seat, Holyrood Palace, Edinburgh castle, and the royal mile. All within walking distance. The apartment is in good shape and was very comfortable for our family of 5. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good place to stay within walking distance of these attractions.
