Perfect for us

We loved our “get away” apartment in Edinburgh. It is located literally across the street from the water and seconds from the bus stop, which we used many times since the apartment is not centrally located. The bus system is great. We “old” folks who are not as adept at using phone apps as our younger friends, still found the bus and tram app accurate and user friendly. Also, the drivers are very helpful. The #16 takes you directly downtown and back. Soon, we were old pros. The apartment itself is efficient and well stocked with linens and kitchen supplies although we never cooked. (The Pier House restaurant across the street is excellent for both breakfast and dinner. We ate there several times.) There is a tiny, but well stocked grocery store for basics (no fresh meat, limited produce) including a post office about a block or two from the apartment in the direction opposite the water. Uphill all the way. Neighborhood is quiet. Roberta was easy to contact and very receptive to our needs and questions. My husband injured his foot the first night we were there and Roberta was very kind and helpful. If you are looking for a quiet retreat away from all the hustle and bustle of downtown, this is your place.

Nice Quiet Spot Outside of Ediburgh

We had a great stay at this apartment in Newhaven. It was so nice to be walking distance from the ocean and to leave the hustle and bustle of busy Edinburgh behind for quiet restful evenings. It was an easy tram ride into the city. The apartment itself was great and Roberta was a very helpful and generous host.

Old port charm

We stayed 3 nights at Roberta’s place. The location is quiet and easy to find via bus or tram. There is a charming pier-like area really close with restaurants and bars. The center is about 20 minutes away by bus. The apartment was very clean and Roberta left many personal touches for us as guests. We were happy to have a washing machine and a big clothesline outside (and lucked out with a sunny day to dry things). The apartment was a bit smaller than we expected but it worked fine for the 4 of us. Roberta was excellent at communicating and very helpful and friendly! Fair value for sure!

Peaceful, cute, cozy home

My daughters and I really enjoyed our stay in Roberta’s cottage. It’s in a quiet area but the tram up Leith walk to downtown Edinburgh or on to Murrayfield stops a block and a half away. Communication with Roberta was fast and easy. Thank you, Roberta, for not gouging us during the T Swift weekend, too. We highly recommend staying here.

Newhaven Two Bedroom

The residence was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen is well stocked with most items one would need, so that was nice. The host was quick to respond to all of our questions. She was very kind and communicative with anything we needed, including flexibility around an earlier check-in as we were traveling from the US carting large bags. She also provided some delicious local snacks for us to sample, which was great. There were a few issues that brought our review score down. The first issue-there is a picture captioned "Exterior" on the website, which we assumed was the exterior of the residence. We booked assuming we would be right on the water, and were disappointed to find that while close to ocean front shops, it wasn't on the water as the "exterior" photo led us to believe. The futon/couch was incredibly uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. Same with the mattresses on the beds, they were both very well worn. The location was close to a tram, and the distance isn't far from Edinburgh, but with traffic it took on average 40 minutes to get downtown on the train. That ended up being much longer than we anticipated, which was disappointing. Know that if you are traveling with a group, the bathroom is centrally located and has a french door with windows on it. There is a curtain, but there is not much privacy. These issues aside, it's a budget-friendly location for visiting Edinburgh, and the host is very kind, considerate and communicative.

Clean, pleasant, in peaceful neighborhood

Spouse and I stayed here 3 nights with our 2 year old. The surrounding community with the fisherman cottage homes was lovely and a world away from the tourism-and-shops of other parts of EDI. The waterfront right there is nice, the nearby ASDA is a store for all your needs, and of course the tram gets you into town. We wished we had explored Starbank Park nearby. Communication with Roberta was excellent. She let us drop our luggage while she cleaned, since we arrived a bit early. Provided a cot for our little one and chatted with us about the neighborhood. I think the only thing we didn't care for was how hot the shower got. It was tricky to keep it in a reasonable range. Rishi's indian restaurant, around the corner, is fabulous, a perfect way to welcome yourself to Edinburgh. They treated our little one like royalty and kept her entertained, although she was jet lagged.

Roberta is an excellent hostess and her place Ins quite lovely! Perfect spot to enjoy your stay in Edinburgh…far enough from hustle/bustle but close enough to everything. Especially wonderful if you don’t have a vehicle…easy access to the tram and local bus system… and easy walking distance to shopping, restaurants, spa/gym, and lovely sights. Thank you Roberta!
