Great base for an Edinburgh adventure

This apartment was an excellent base for our trip to Edinburgh. There was plenty of room, and the full kitchen allowed us to decide when to eat out versus making something for ourselves. The combo washer/dryer also allowed for a simple clothing refresh when needed. The bedroom/loft was not ideal to access for the over 60 crowd. I would love to stay at this property during my next visit!

Location is in the middle of old Town. Rooms are in an old Church. Very unique in design. Roomy and comfortable. We were on third floor with stairs only, no elevator, so this may not be a good choice if you can not get your bags up stairs.

Fabulous location and ambience

Amazingly cute and quaint place in a PERFECT location right off of the Royal Mile. ONLY downside is there’s no lift (old building!), and the stairs are a killer with lots of luggage. But it was worth it!

This loft was exactly as the description. Lovely amenities and walkable to everywhere. The only suggestion would be to have a fan in the upstairs loft part as it can get warm up there. Loved our stay and will definitely be back! Thank you!

Don’t let the front entry fool you, this place is beautiful and perfectly located for discovering Edinburgh’s lively historic landmarks. There are several flights of stairs, but is to be expected in this repurposed church building. So worth the climb! There is a fabulous Scottish tour company within footsteps that we used for a day trip to see castles. Beds were comfortable and the 2-full bathrooms were appreciated. Super responsive host with questions regarding luggage storage before and after stay. Thanks for a lovely stay ;-)

Great location on The Royal Mile. The area was really busy because of the festival, but our apartment (no 4) was out the back and really peaceful. We are in the 3 Blind Mice pizza restaurant below which was good.
