Summary of reviews
Beautiful, clean, well-appointed apartment in a quiet complex near The Meadows. Easy walking distance to attractions with great communication from the owner.
5.0 / 5.0
This place was wonderful. VRBO check in note provided a code number, but the host provided a pickup location to be used with the code but VRBO did not send it. We arrived at midnight without a key or knowledge of where to obtain it. Thankfully host Joanne returned my phone call and told me where to get key. She was polite and we do not blame her at all. Just be sure with any bookings that check in is clear

We loved the apartment in Edinburgh - was easy walking to most of the areas we wanted to visit (though it was 'damp' most of the visit - always remember to dress accordingly!).
The apartment was great - easy access and exceptionally clean and well organized. Owner was very communicative and willing to help.
All made for a great visit and we hope to return in the future! Thanks again for helping make this a great stay.

We had 2 nights which were not long enough! This is a very modern 2nd floor apt/condo in a secure building with all of the amenities. Washer/dryer and drying rack came in handy with all of the rain we experienced. Downside was the key pick up process. For someone not familiar with driving or walking in Edinburgh, it was not ideal to try to find our way to the Ibis Hotel for the key after we had secured the car in the Quatermile Q-Park. The unit is a bit tired looking with smudges on some of the walls and nicks in the drywall but nevertheless clean and tidy. The sofa, however, was stained. Still enjoyed our stay.

The condo was beautiful, and in a wonderful location. We were able to walk to the sites of Edinburgh. Short distance to the royal mile and many other attractions.

Spacious ( for city), safe area, very well equipped, food store near by, short walks to tourist attractions. Joanne very responsive. A bit inconvenient to have to get keys and return keys at another location and drying clothes a long process ( due to set up of washer/dryer).
5.0 / 5.0
Absolutely beautiful and well-appointed apartment in the heart of Edinburgh, Scotland! It was a ten minute walk to the Castle and Royal Mile, and a two minute walk to The Meadows.
We saw new neighborhoods in one of our favorite cities. Close to history, restaurants, and parks, and the Lothian bus lines.

A great way to start our vacation staying at very modern apartment backing up to the Meadows and in the shadow of the University of Edinburgh. Everything was new, despite being so close to the old city and with the Fringe happening all around us the apartment and Simpson Loan were very private. Excellent restaurants in the neighborhood as well as the Coop for groceries. A special shout-out to Joanne who made sure we had a smoothie blender to accommodate my wife's breakfast needs. All communications were quick. My only minor complaint would be the key pick up and drop off at the IBIS on Hunter Square was hectic so it was a pleasure when we finally arrived at the apartment and were able to settle in. Highly recommend.

Great Place but Difficult Check in and out
A great property to stay in and same for location.
Difficult key pick up and drop off; especially drop off before 10:00 AM when all the taxis our taking people to the Castle and you are trying to drive to Ibis Hotel to drop off key.

Perfect for two
Clean modern apartment near Edinburgh’s main attractions. Close to the grocery store and Starbucks. Quiet building and neighborhood. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Just wished it had a larger French press for making coffee.

Functional Excellence in the Heart of Edinburgh
Joanne’s flat lived up to its listing. It was immaculate, well-furnished, albeit spare, and highly functional. The combo oven/microwave and combo washer/dryer are a mystery at first, but great once you figure them out. The building is very quiet. The location is superb—adjacent to the university, less than 10 minutes to the Royal Mile and15 minutes to New Town or Morningside. A grocery store, Starbucks, two cafes, and a really good Malaysian restaurant are steps away.
There was some confusion at check-in as to where the key was located and the wi-fi passcode, but these were quickly rectified. Joanne is an excellent communicator. One word of warning to other elderly travelers like us,: the bathtub is quite deep and getting in and out can be a challenge.

Moderne woning voorzien van alle gemakken.
Zeer moderne woning voorzien van alle gemakken op een rustige locatie in Edinburgh. Alleen het bed vonden wij onvoldoende. Je voelde de vering door het matras.

Perfect!
We really enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh, here is what is great about this apartment:
- Exactly as pictured, decor is very soothing and the bed was comfy
- Very easy check-in and check-out
- Nice quiet part of the city but still close to grocery and restaurants.
- Easy walking distance to Old Town and The Royal Mile especially once you learn a few shortcuts
- Conveniently located to bus stops
- Communication with Joanne was great, it was nice to know she was there if we needed her but wasn't intrusive either
We were very happy with our choice of this apartment and highly recommend. Thanks Joanne!

Perfect to see it all!
We could not have been happier with our stay. Very clean, very convenient to everywhere we wanted to see (We walked to Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile, National Gallery, National Museum of Scotland...everything!) There was a safe and clean public garage down the block for 16 pounds per day (not cheap, but parking is difficult) and a nearby grocery store and coffee shop for everything that we needed. Just perfect!

Awesome apartment in a perfect location!
My husband and I stayed at Joanne's apartment during our first trip to Edinburgh. It is a very nice condo - great layout, nice building. It was an absolute perfect location - great amenities for food and coffee shops right across the street, and walking distance to old town Edinburgh. We will absolutely look to stay here again if/when we return to Edinburgh.
Joanne was fantastic to deal with. She was flexible with check in and out times to accommodate our flights, and she is very responsive. She also has built in very little complexity to access her apartment when you arrive. Thanks Joanne for everything!

This property has a great location and is well appointed.
I really like the location of this property, it is the Quartermile area which is surprisingly a very quiet area of the city. The property is right next to Holyrood park but is only a few minutes walk from many of Edinburgh's primary attractions. (Royal Mile, Castle, Scottish Museum, Grey Friars, Holyrood Park etc. ) I could walk everywhere within 15 minutes. The property was in perfect condition, very modern and well appointed. I was very comfortable during my 12 day stay. I also liked the fact it was close to the university as I was visiting my son who was attending the University of Edinburgh. There are also a couple of nice restaurants just within a couple of minutes walk, also a Starbucks! I would recommend this property to anyone who would like a relaxing place in Edinburgh that is close to all the attractions.

Central location, clean and crisp accommodation in new building, quiet with all conveniences of home
Visiting from Toronto, Canada from Dec 8-12, 2016 we had instant and ongoing communication with Joanne throughout our stay.
Located in the new Quartermain complex near the university we were within walking distance to everything a first time visitor had to do and see.
If your not walkers like us a quick taxi ride for under £10 will get you there.
15 minutes to the castle and the Royal mile, 25 min to Holyrood Palace and the park (another 40 to the top of Arthur's Seat), or 25 min to Waverly station or walking Princess St shopping (don't forget to see the 'giraffes').
From the palace take a £9 taxi ride to Craigmillar Castle which we found terrific without the crowds of Edinburgh Castle.
But enough about our trip....there is a Starbucks, Sainsbury grocery store, another Cafe, a Sodenberg pastry shop (Swedish I think), a separate Sodenberg restaurant, a pub, and Malaysian restaurant all around the corner <2 min walking.
A stroll beyond takes you to Greyfriars Bobby and more restaurants and cafes (Greggs for a quick breakfast snack if the line up isn't too long). Stop off at Mums for comfort food and a sassy server on the side.
Continue on and you're at the museum then on to the castle and the sights and shops of the Royal Mile, and of course St Giles.
Get lost on the way home and maybe get lucky and find Kabab Mahal for cheap and delicious Indian cuisine.
The flat is secure and has everything you might need (even an umbrella).
It's a very modern flat with modern bathroom and great hot shower.
It was very relaxing to return here every evening to unwind and plan our next day with the always excellent wifi.
You're in the middle of Edinburgh and this was perfect for us. Thanks again Joanne....well done !!!

Excellent stay, great place to base from
This flat is spotless and is very well maintained. The building is also has a secured entrance. It is well equipped and if you do desire to prepare meals, there would be no problem using the appliances and accessing the needed kitchenware. Location wise, it is near the meadows, and has easy access to a bus and cab stand.

Clean comfortable apartment
The apartment was a nice clean residence, with all modern features. Great location just a few minute walk from the Royal Mile. At the time of our stay, there was a bit of construction going on outside, but we really could barely hear it through the well sealed windows. We arrived early, and Joanne was very accommodating in letting us store our luggage in the apartment while we visited the city during the cleaning. Definitely a great place to stay.
