This second story walk up is set right in the middle of Grassmarket. It is well maintained and clean. Management responds to any and all questions. You are really in the heart of Edinburgh, I would highly recommend this location. Our only challenge at first was finding it. The entrance to the apartment is in a courtyard so you have to walk down a Close to get to the door. Just look for the Pink restaurant .

Wonderful location for the fringe and the Tattoo. Apartment has everything you need for a longer stay. We were there for 8 nights. As with all centrally located apartments in older cities the place is not large, but you shouldn’t be spending much time inside anyway.

We wanted somewhere central and this is right at the end of the Grassmarket in the Old town, brilliant location. It is pretty compact but actually has everything you need even a washer drier which we didn't need but I can see you might! The instructions were comprehensive and the place was clean and tidy. Highly recommend based on value and location.

Perfect location in Old Town Edinburgh

Location was super great! It is in the heart of The Grass Market…beautiful scenery and lots of action. Easy access in and out of the property. The bed was a bit small for us, but we are used to sleeping in a king size bed.

Edinburg vacation

My sister and I traveled to Edinburgh from the States The location of the apartment was absolutely perfect We enjoyed exploring Edinburgh on foot and the location allowed us to easily access all of our must see activities The apartment itself was very nice however a few things to consider, the location is right above and beside restaurants . So you guessed it.. extremely loud partying especially on Friday and Saturday night! Screaming , bottles breaking and partying until 4:00 in the morning, ! So if you don’t mind being awake most of the night then this is a great spot . Another thing to consider is the sofa and beds are VERY firm and after 8+ hrs on hard surfaces a firm mattress is brutal! Doors to the exterior and exterior are VERY heavy . I’m not sure if the pluses out weigh the negatives but our stay was memorable even if we got no sleep and out backs are out .
