Great Trip

As described and pick up of the keys went very smooth, came into train station and keys were there at a pick up spot, easy peezy. Location is great, coffe shops right below as well as a small convenience store to grab some things for the fridge and snacks . I will note that the flat faces the university and the main walking path that most everyone uses, you may hear some noise at night , but that didn’t bother us as I have an white noise app that I turned on.

This suite was as advertised. It had a large open conceot living room, kitchen, and dinning room. Bedrooms located at seperate ends of unit. 20 min walk from Waverley train station. Castle and Royal Mile only a 6 to 7 minute walk. Small grocery on ground level was a bonus. Lots of pubs and restaurants close by.

Fabulous property in great location. View from living room is so nice and restful. Clearly the host has put a lot of thoughtful consideration into the facilities. Spacious, comfortable great for families with direct access to its own secure parking, 2 minutes from Edinburgh University and 10-15minutes easy walk from all the main places in Edinburgh. Lots of facilities and restaurants nearby and gives you the feel good factor that you wouldn’t get in a hotel. One bedroom can hear students on their way home at the weekend but otherwise super peaceful. Would stay again.

Great place that is within walking distance to everything

This place is in a perfect location to explore the core of the ancient city. Walked to the Royal Mile within 10-15 minutes. Loads of shops and restaurants close by. Having the Sainsbury and Starbucks essentially right outside the front door made it super easy to get food. Place is spacious and clean. Would recommend.

CouldHaveBeenGreat

Great location, loved the view with 5 floor to ceiling windows. No AC but it was cool at night so not an issue.Apartment was very warm in the afternoon. Nice Kitchen with everything you would need if you wanted to cook. TV didn't work, cable was not reliable, flixed off and on, no local channels set. There is a washing machine. NO DRYER as mentioned in the listing. We ended up going to a local place to have our laundry done. The drying rack provided would only hold four items of clothing. Check is process is a disaster. You have to go to an IBIS right off the Royal Mile to get the apartment key. Our GPS took us down the Royal mile to the location. You then have to go to the apartment to get the garage pass, then back to the car to pull into the garage. This cannot be done by one person. You have to have someone to get the keys at IBIS and the apartment while the other waits in the car as there is no place to park. If the host would simply have the parking pass with the apartment keys and have a pickup near the apartment and not in the busiest area on Edinburgh, this would be a great place to rent. OTW I would look elsewhere.

Great location, comfortable apartment

We highly recommend this property. The only drawback for us was no air conditioning, which was easily remedied by opening windows. However, night times can be quite noisy as this location is occupied by a lot of students. This location is walking distance to all of the Edinburgh attractions, bars, cafes and a small grocery. Perfect!

Fantastic!

This is a perfect location for visiting Edinburgh as it is very easy to walk to the tourist sites, but isn’t right in the middle of them. It is located in a secure building which has two great coffee shops on the main level, and is on a beautiful tree-lined walking path that extends to the university and beyond to Edinburgh’s historical area on one end, and the more local and quaint shops on the other. The suite is lovely, and us quite well stocked for cooking and eating in if that’s your preference. A few things are missing that we would add, such as a sink stopper for the kitchen sink, paper towels and tissues, but otherwise the suite was stocked sufficiently. The beds are comfortable and the rooms were very clean. The TV was mostly local stations, even using the satellite option. A few movies would be nice, but we were so busy it wasn’t really an issue. We would also suggest that the instructions for using Virgin entertainment should include a line directing the user to change the input source on the tv. However, when we asked the property manager for help they came right over the next morning. The property is managed by a third party, and they were excellent to deal with in all respects; they promptly answered queries, and were respectful and always responsive to try to resolve any minor issues. We highly recommend this property for your stay in Edinburgh!

Nice and convenient

The place looked just like the pictures. Love the windows! We picked our keys at Ibis which was not an issue for us. I could see where it could be for an individual because street parking may not be available for you to run in and get the key. We were able to send somebody in to get the key while we drove around the block. We did the same when getting the parking keycard from the apartment. It would be nice if you could get the parking keycard from Keynest. The parking garage was a little confusing in that the directions say level -2 which is the correct level when using the elevator. However inside the garage the level is just 2, no -2. It also took us a bit to find the space. When you enter take the first turn towards exit. You will then see another gated entrance for private parking. You go through that and you’ll find the spot. The apartment was very clean and had sufficient starter supplies and kitchen items. We specifically booked this apartment because of the washer and dryer. Turned out to be a very small washer/dryer combo that took at least 1 1/2 hours to complete. Definitely couldn’t do the laundry we hoped to. There is no A/C and it was warm. Sleeping with windows open was difficult because of the noise outside. It is located near a university and next to a common area. That said it is very convenient to the Royal Mile and we were able to walk there with no problems. The non en-suite bedroom is isolated with a hall bath so it feels like an en-suite.

Great Flat and Great Location

Flat was great! Good location and well appointed! Very spacious for a family of 4. Rental company was timely in responding. Flat was so close to the University, Sandy Bell’s (great local musicians), the Greenmarket and wonderful shops and restaurants. Only one recommendation, maybe leave the parking key card with the flat keys. There is nowhere to unload and we received a £100 parking fine in a matter of less than 2 minutes. Admittedly, it was a no parking zone but having never driven in the UK before we missed the sign that said “no loading” (it was only about 30cmX15cm). When we left it was very convenient to load and unload via the lift to the parking space. Overall, I would highly recommend the flat. We hope to be back to beautiful Scotland one day soon.

Amazing spot, loved it!!!

All 4 of us loved this space!! It’s as described in the listing. The openness of living, dining and kitchen was comfortable. The rooms large and comfy. Windows open for fresh air. It was a bit loud due to being near a campus, but this didn’t bother any of us. Having a grocery and coffee below was a bonus. Able to walk to many of the sights we wanted to experience which was great. Public transportation was easy to navigate, we used it to go meet friends. There is a large step out of both tubs, they do have a step stool that seemed sturdy- just be cautious.
