Edinburgh Trip

Absolutely fantastic stay in Edinburgh! The property was spotless, well-equipped, and perfectly located—close to everything but still peaceful and quiet. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in a breeze. It truly felt like a home away from home. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone visiting the city!

Lovely quiet flat well situated for getting places

Thank you for a lovely stay at 1 South Oswald Rd! We were a group of three and the apartment was perfect for us. First the check in process was very easy and communication throughout was excellent. The apartment was spacious with a lot of room to stretch out. Amenities were modem and met all our needs. We chose 1 South Oswald to avoid the crazy of the city center which we loved. In spite of this, the buses were a very short walk and we took full advantage. Going south out to Rosslyn Chapel on a single bus and taking a single bus north to the city center and all Edi has to offer. We loved 1 South Oswald and will def stay here again on our next visit.

Wonderful apartment in quiet residential neighborhood.

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment is beautiful with all the amenities we needed. Loved the convenience of having a bus stop right outside, where the #9 bus took us into old town (Victoria street) in about 10 minutes.

Convenient location, , well equipped and comfortable flat. Warm , plenty of hot water and good shower . Kitchen perhaps more suitable for a weekend rather than a 2 week visit . A shelf in the bathroom would be helpful as would a shaver/toothbrush socket. Rather expensive but would recommend .

We had a really nice day. Very quiet neighbourhood, yet close to city with bus at door. No restaurants in immediate walking vicinity (~0.8-1.0km), but that was a small price for peace and quiet.

Beautiful apartment with great views

The location of this flat was perfect as we didn’t want to be right in all the bustle of the city. The bus stop was right outside the apartment and was a quick ride to town and a corner shop was 2 mins away! It was lovely to stay in a place that was comfortable with modern amenities. The full kitchen was a bonus for making tea/coffee in the morning or warming up food in the evening. I would definitely consider this location again!

Beautiful Accommodations

This building is stately and beautiful with a lovely maintained courtyard garden with pretty flowers. The apartment was beautifully decorated and comfortable for 4 of us to spread out. The high ceilings were gorgeous, tall floor to ceiling windows gave us a nice view of Arthur’s Seat as well as the neighborhood, with lots of natural light. The location could not have been better (safe, charming and very walkable) for getting around town, no rental car needed for us as we taxied and walked everywhere, while our son and his fiancé took the bus that picked them up in front of the building across the street. We quickly adapted to not having a clothes dryer, as a pulley system to hang our clothes was in the 2nd bedroom and air drying clothes seems to be the norm in that area. As obsessive as I am about washing and drying our clothes, that would not deter me at all from staying there again, I would stay in a heartbeat. We had an amazing trip, Scotland is special and beautiful, and the neighborhood was 5 stars. Our stay could not have been better. Rona, our leasing agent was very responsive while Caroline & Richard made themselves easily accessible if we needed anything. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Period splendour in good location

We used this excellent first floor accommodation when visiting family and friends. It’s very spacious with some great period features and very well equipped. It’s in a quiet location, has free roadside parking and on bus routes that can get you into the city in 10 - 15 mins. A local convenience store is a 2 minute walk away. Although a Smart tv upgrade would be beneficial, we would highly recommend this accommodation and would definitely use it again when we return.

We were pleasantly surprised by how lovely the apartment is. Very clean and comfortable with a bottle of whisky to welcome you. The one downside is the weak shower. The shower is just a trickle and hardly gets you wet, pretty hopeless !!

Great flat! Great location!

We had an excellent stay! The flat is spacious and comfortable and has beautiful views from the windows. We would stay again in a heartbeat. For coffee people - they provide a French Press (and some instant). For talented coffee drinkers you will delighted, I am sure. For a less talented coffee drinker like me, even after youtube videos, I drank instant :-) But not a problem - there are a lot worse things than instant coffee :-)!! We were there during the Festival and it was great to have this quiet and pretty area to return to after the festival crowds. We were also there during the gargabe collectors strike and this area remained trash-free A great bonus for us was the #41 and #24 busses were almost right outside our door. So convenient! Even in the evening after the Tattoo. The buses and street were also really quiet! Thank you! We had a great stay.

Everything about the apartment was great. It is a very welcoming, comfortable, cosy , safe place to stay. The location is fantastic, with the bus stop just across the road and a great shop two minutes walk away. The views from the living room windows were gorgeous. We would heartily recommend it and will certainly book again when we come back to Edinburgh.
