The apartment was lovely, didn't receive the check in instructions as a deposit payment hadnt gone through after changing cards. Only discovered this after I found an email in my junk mail. Staff were very helpful though once I contacted the office and let us store our bags until check in time. The apartment was lovely, location great. The only downside was it is across from a busy nightclub so the noise was pretty loud on the Friday and Saturday nights. Otherwise a great stay.

The property was OK, gaining access to it was NOT. We were informed we should have received a communication detailing how to access the property three days prior to arrival - this did not happen. As a result, we were standing on a very busy street corner with a lot of background noise, trying to call the property (at international call rates) in order to gain entry. A most unpleasant experience after an overnight flight. We got in after about 15 minutes of phone calls and received the instruction email a few minutes AFTER we took occupancy vs the 3 day advance notice we were led to believe we should have had. NOT a good experience and a terrible way to start a vacation! The property itself/location etc was fine, parking was not required so no issues there, no issues re: safety that you wouldn't expect in another other major city.

This was a modern hidden studio apartment upstairs of a mobile phone store accessed through an unassuming door in the corner. The original façade of the old building was untouched, but the insides were renovated. Plus: location was as central as you can get (maybe a little "too central"?) Window facing the castle. Studio felt very modern and probably remodeled not very long ago. Even though address was given in the email, some basic descriptions of the place in the email would've helped because Google maps sent me to the OTHER nearby (wrong) location when I just searched the name (there were multiple locations in the same areas). There were some homeless people loitering near the entrance and smelled of urine at the entrance. Walking in the studio. almost every other step generated loud creaking noise. They did not reinforce the old floor before covering up with new flooring. Thankfully it was a mobile phone shop that wasn't opened in the evening. But because of that, it affected the stay experience. Second complaint was the stairs. Not easy carrying my big luggage up since there were no lifts/elevators. Maintenance was feeling a little off, one of my bedside lamps did not work. Due to the apartment being a little warm, I had to open the window to get some fresh air (no air conditioning, but ok). However, being so central, and only on the 2nd floor, I can hear people talking loudly and traffic noises all the way until it died down in the later hours.

Great location

The property is fantastic. located extremely well for Princess and George Street with the apartment being well presented, clean and all the facilities needed and as described. The only area to improve on is that the property does not have air conditioning and if the weather is good the sun shines directly in and you cannot really leave the windows open due to noise emanating from Princess St

This was a great place to stay in Edinburgh. It was nice, had all updated modern amenities and centrally located to tasty restaurants and tourist locations - we walked almost everywhere. I would definitely stay there again - It was nice having a spacious studio. A few items I read in other reviews that were helpful: 1. The office, several blocks away, will let you store your luggage until you can check in. We arrived early, so this was nice. 2. There are no elevators - This was good to know in advance. I highly recommend these apartments.

nice apartment, well equipped. lots of street noise ( most of the year probably would not matter but the weather was quite warm and we needed the windows open). We had some questions after we checked in and received no response from the company.

Central location

Beautiful apartment overlooking Princess Street, couldn’t get a more central spot. Apartment was spotless, cosy and comfortable with secondary glazing which kept the noise down and underfloor heating in the bathroom. Had everything you would need for your stay with good quality bed linen and towels. Would definitely stay there again.
