We loved this apartment- it was perfect for our family of 7. Short walk to the Royal Mile, and grocery store nearby. We were able to park our cars in the private lot. The convenience of the hotel for breakfast was a big plus as well. Very easy check in. Just be careful with the steep steps down to bedrooms!

Three Generation Family Vacation
This apartment worked out really well for my family trip to Edinburgh. We had 3 generations, totaling 8 family members and we had enough space for all of us. The host accommodated our bed needs and communicated promptly.
The kitchen was well stocked and clean. The stairs are a little wonky but we were just extra careful going up and down. We appreciated that the lights in the living room all had USB ports for charging. There were plenty of towels for everyone. The shared bathrooms are nice and they have towel warmers!
One interesting thing about the apartment is that is affiliated with the hotel across the street. I did not realize we would get house keeping and could order room service (we did not, so I can’t say anything about that). The location was quiet and the one incident we had was promptly taken care of by the hotel staff.
My sister and her husband went to the hotel breakfast buffet one morning and enjoyed it.
One cool thing was that on Wednesday night the Surgeons’ Hall was having a formal dinner, there was a bagpiper at the entrance and we could hear him play from the apartment.
We walked everywhere, except for my 87 year old father who took a taxi up to Edinburgh Castle. The hotel called for a pick-up for him.
Overall it was an enjoyable stay.

Lovely Property
All three generations of our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Edinburgh flat. The size of the rooms and the character of the property were just a couple of the outstanding features but more importantly, the level of service we received from start to finish was top notch. Also location was perfect. Highly recommend!
