Great Stay 30 Minutes from Edinburgh Center
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here! A nice, straightforward, and easy 30 minute walk to the center of Edinburgh with a really great park directly across the street from the apartment (Holyrood Park). We had 5 adults and 2 children (ages 4 and 2) and there was plenty of space for all of us. We did have to be more mindful with our kids’ voices as they were specific about not being too loud, so that was a little stressful. It got a bit toasty at times with no AC, but we made it work. Some of the items were a bit dated with thin pillows, the washer/dryer combo took a long time to wash and dry, and areas that could use some extra cleaning with some spots on walls and such, but overall was a clean and cozy stay.

Great location and great communication
Great location if you’re primarily going to the Royal Mile. The host communicated really well. The beds were comfortable and it was clean. My only complaint about this place is that the main bedroom is downstairs so you have to lug your luggage down a big flight of stairs.

Falsely advertised as 4 BR, is a 2 BR
Rented it for 4 adults, since it was advertised as a 4 BR, 2BA. Turned out to be a 2 BR, 2BA. Was very disappointed and highlighted it to the property manager. Spent the entire stay trying to get him to work out an agreeable solution - nope. The host and the property manager only care about the money.
They accepted that the 4BR is wrong - but there was no refund / discount provided. I've taken this up to VRBO as well. Let's see what happens.
The property itself has not been maintained well. The upper bath clogs up and the water does not drain well. The table in the dining area has boards coming off. Parking is on the street - so depends on whether it is available. Does not come with parking.
This stay was a terrible way to end an otherwise amazing trip all over Scotland. Will never recommend this to anyone.

Great apartment for our weekend stay for a 6 Nations Match. Brilliant for the dog, immediately opposite Hollyrood Park. The Bellfield Brewery Tap Room just round the corner was a real find

royalmile kinda sorta
It was a cool design. The loft bed is very uncomfortable, The main bathroom had used shaving cream that was rusting and used razor in it. Good Water pressure. This place is ran by someone managing several properties. Just a little more time cleaning (make sure all the cobwebs and spiders are gone) and it would be a great stay. The kitchen is lacking some items - peeler, can opener and ice trays. Granted the contact is very attentive and ready to please. I'm sure if I had asked for the items he would have brought them. When we were staying such a short time we did not want to wait around for him to bring what we needed
