This place is really nice, it’s got a gorgeous view and is right on the Royal mile. The stairs other people mentioned are no joke. Think 6 stories of spiral cathedral stairs where there’s no handrail part way up. If you have anyone in your party with mobility issues this is not for you. If you plan to spend most of your time out and about anyway and are willing to sweat a bit every time you return for the night, this is a great place.

This property was fantastic, location can't be beat, close to everything you want to do and visit in Edinburgh. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 for accuracy of online listing is you can't overstate the severity of the stairs you have to climb. We are a very fit family and to carry our luggage and golf clubs up the the apartment was no easy feat. The apartment is cozy and comfortable, would definitely consider staying there again.

We really enjoyed our time in Edinburgh. This flat worked well for my family of 6. Despite the older, historical building, the inside of the flat is very modern and updated. It is centrally located near many great attractions and pubs. It is a short walk to the train station. We also walked to Arthur’s Seat and saw a lot of Old Town along the way. There was excellent communication from the host. Other reviews have mentioned the stairs, and they are no joke, but we were able to get our large bags up and down without an issue. The stairs added a lot of character. We would love to come back.

The location was amazing and the apartment was so comfortable and beautifully appointed. The stairs were fine for us but would be a challenge for less active people.

We absolutely loved our stay. It is in an excellent location. I will say the stairs are killer as they are like castle stairs but it was in the description that there was no lift and apartment was on 5th floor. It would be a difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

This apartment is perfectly located on the Royal Mile just below Edinburgh Castle. It was large enough to comfortably accommodate our family of five adults. Please be aware though, it is 87 steps up a spiral staircase to the front door. If you have bad knees or a weak heart, this place is NOT for you! Otherwise, the owner is great and the apartment is wonderful.

My husband and I just stayed at the Top Royal Mile Apt with my Brother and his wife during our trip to Edinburgh. It was PERFECT for two couples. We loved the apartment and the location was amazing. The spiral stairs to the 5th floor were a little scary but the unit was well worth the climb. Being on the top floor we could open the windows in the front room and listen to the bag pipes and hustle & bustle down below but everything on the royal mile closes down around 6pm so it got nice and quiet at night.

I know this has been covered before in other reviews but let me emphasize... the stairs are a killer. If you are in your 20's or 30 's go ahead and book it if you are in good health and without any physical disabilities. if you are older than this or carrying large suitcases I would book something else. It was a lovely apartment and very nicely decorated . The location was splendid, we were able to take the tram from the airport and the bus back to the airport at the end of the trip. Most of the tours we took picked us up just a few minutes from our door. It felt very secure, a locked door down stairs and fairly quiet being so far up. It would be nice if the owner left some history of the apartment in their welcome booklet like what year it was built etc... The thoughtful owner supplied laundry detergent and dish soap and dishwasher detergent which was missing at another VRBO I had rented in the past. An oven mitt would be a nice addition. Overall a very nice stay. Handrails for the stairs might help a little , they only go to the first apartment.

My family and I enjoyed our stay here in late September 2022 as part of our UK travels. While we don't normally stay in "touristy" areas, the location was perfectly situated to everything we wanted to see and do over the 4 days we were in Edinburgh. The apartment was spacious and clean with comfortable beds. Some kitchen roll or napkins would have been helpful in the kitchen area, as well as being able to control the thermostat ourselves. Some nights were very chilly in the main bedroom! My communication with our host Paul was attentive and quick and the check-in process was a breeze! I'm glad we just had carry-on luggage though. While we have stayed in 4 and 5 floor walk-ups before, it being a narrow spiral staircase hadn't occurred to me when booking (seems obvious now!), and it would have been quite the challenge to lug a full-sized suitcase up the stairs. All in all, we would stay at this location again and recommend it to other travellers looking for a comfortable accommodation with personality in a convenient location.

First, I'll say this was a great property and great location. The managers/owners were very responsive. The only thing I would say is, while the listing mentions stairs and the fifth floor, it doesn't mention the kind of stairs. On our last stay in Edinburgh four years ago we had stairs and were on the third floor and managed fine. We knew there were stairs here and it was on the fifth floor and while we are in our 70's we are still getting around fine. The problem was we didn't realize they were turnpike stairs. On top of that they were stone, not unusual for the age of the building, and there was only a hand rail up to the first floor. If we were just going up and down, it would have been doable, but dragging suitcases up those stairs with no hand rail was not an option. Fortunately, some wonderful young Scotsmen carried our bags up for us, which was great in itself, but they wouldn't even accept beer money. Bottom line, great location, great apartment but not for most older people or the faint of heart because of the type of stairs.

We stayed with our two adult children and though the apartment was not over large, we did well with 4 people. Location is amazing. Paul was a great host and his recommendations for restaurants were perfect. Edinburgh castle is a must see. We would definitley recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at the apartment. The location is fantastic. You will need to climb five floors, which I wouldn’t recommend if you are out of shape, but if you do you are at a beautiful, comfortable and well appointed apartment. The sheets were especially comfortable. Paul was very helpful and responded very promptly. I would definitely recommend.

Top notch Capital trip

Top notch Capital trip

4 fantastic nights spent in our capital city. After each busy day it was lovely to return to the comfort of the apartment. Fantastic apartment, well equipped and great interior decor, with great exterior views. The stairs are a killer on arrival with suitcases (even our small ones) or return with shopping. But you do get used to them, and they act as an incentive to make sure you have everything you need with you when you head out for the day! After wandering around Edinburgh for a day you will soon realise that stairs are part of the attraction in an old city and so these are no worse than all the other flights you will climb as you explore the city. Paul was an attentive host. Thank you

Amazing Location, Beautiful Flat!

Amazing Location, Beautiful Flat!

Property is situated approx. 100 yards from the Edinburgh Castle, in the heart of the Royal Mile with an excellent view and was very comfortable for our family of 4. Check-in process was easy, property owner was very responsive, flat was very clean, bathrooms were perfect size and the beds were comfortable. The snacks, extra linens and binder explaining the history of the building, where the grocery store is, etc. was a nice touch and very much appreciated. We felt right at home and Paul's flat made our stay in Edinburgh enjoyable. We also got our exercise in on that stairway ;-) We loved Scotland and would stay here again without question. Thanks Paul!!
