Old town apartment

It was the first time in Edinburgh for my husband and I. The apt is exactly as pictured, on the ground floor and easy access to enter. Very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped and we appreciated the selection of teas. The bed was just ok for me, had an achy back each morning. All and all it is pretty quiet but on the weekend it did get noisy in the wee hours of the morning but that is the nature of the location.

Literary location

Want to stay at the corner of Robert Burns and Harry Potter? This is the place!The apartment is comfortable and spacious, located in a "close" (a private courtyard) right in the center of everything, at the foot of Victoria Street (inspiration for Diagon Alley) and Grassmarket (of Burns's famous White Hart Pub). Hopping neighborhood, but the highly private entrance keeps it nice and quiet at night.

Home in Edinburgh's Old Town

The apartment was very well located to explore all parts of Edinburgh. The "courtyard" in the description is a bit misleading as it is not really useable other than to pass through. Also the apartment is behind 2 restaurants which provided a bit more noise thAn i would have liked well into the evening. Having said all of that, the apartment was a great, clean and comfortable place to stay.

Amazing location!

We were provided very detailed information and directions. This is a quick walk from the train station and excellent location at the bottom of Victoria Street. The apartment is very clean, with a very comfy bed. The wifi is very spotty, which is the only downside.

Fantastic location

We couldn’t have picked a better vacation rental. It had all the space we needed, and the location was convenient to everything we wanted to do. We are walkers, but from this location we explored Dean Village and the walk along the Leith, walked up and down the Royal Mile, and hiked (almost) to the top of Arthur’s Seat. The Grassmarket area was full of history, pubs, restaurants and shops. We felt very safe in the well-appointed apartment. We would definitely stay here again.

Not on the Fringe

This property was in the middle of the Fringe Festival area which spreads over much of old Edinburgh, yet it's off a secluded walkway that is not too raucous. It was a modest apartment but clean and comfortable. As we were there for over two weeks the convenience of a washer dryer in the apartment was nice.
