Really enjoyed this flat. The location is second to none. The facilities all worked. We just loved being central during the Fringe. Paul was excellent with communication when necessary and very helpful with getting us into the flat on day one. This place is very, very special. We were two parents with our two teenagers who went in the twin room.

We loved staying here! We have been to Edinburgh several times and this location is very convenient and puts you so close its hard to beat. Apartment was clean and all as it should be and host was very helpful and proactive in communicating all of the instructions for the apartment.

We had a great trip to Edinburgh. This home was so convenient for all of our planned adventures. You couldn’t ask for a better location in the heart of Old Town.

This was an excellent choice for two couples. Everything was exactly as advertised, the beds were comfortable and the pillows amazing. I have recommended this property to others who feel the same.

You simply cannot beat the location of this property, literally overlooking the Royal Mile about a hundred yards from the entrance to Edinburgh Castle! All amenities as listed. Minor gripes: filthy window panes and hallway outside the apartment, and no secure railing on winding stairway (perhaps not under the host's control), and listing should note that the apartment is accessible only by winding steps not friendly to the elderly or physically challenged. But a great choice for an Edinburgh stay due to the location alone!

Just enjoyed packed 4 day visit to Edinburgh. We once lived there so know the city quite well. This flat could not have served us better (3 adults). For location (!!), cleanliness, amenities, comforts, ease, host... can only offer accolades. One huge advantage... just one circular flight up/down, and you exit to the fun of the Jolly Judge! If available again, wouldn't consider anywhere else. Lovely!

This is a really cool apartment in a very old building right in the middle of Old Town.
We had a very comfortable stay.

What a great apartment right on the Royal Mile just steps from bars, restaurants and Edinburgh Castle. Plenty of room to enjoy a nice breakfast and wine and cheese in the afternoon! It was perfectly appointed with bed linens, towels and a well equipped kitchen. Thank you Paul for such a nice stay!

Nestled in the heart of Scotland's historic Royal Mile, this vacation rental is a delightful fusion of 300-year-old heritage and modern comfort. Despite its age, the apartment doesn't skimp on luxury, offering state-of-the-art amenities, sumptuous down comforters, and quality linens that promise a cozy retreat. The whimsical decor adds an element of charm, while the distant melody of bagpipes immerses guests in authentic Scottish culture. However, the quaint charm comes with a slight caveat: a narrow, winding stairway leading up to the apartment, a small hurdle for the promise of a stay that beautifully blends the old with the new. This rental is not just accommodation but an enriching experience that resonates with the heartbeats of Scottish history.

My very first time in Scotland and we wanted to be in the heart of Old Town to experience it all. This apartment was the perfect location making everything very walkable. The place was nice and clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and we just absolutely loved it!
It was great being able to open the windows for fresh air and look out over the Royal Mile taking in all that the city has to offer.
Paul was a great host and I’d definitely stay here again.

Such a nice property that is so enjoyable and has all that is needed. Paul was a great host and very helpful. Able to enjoy the antics on the street outside and still have the ability to sit back and enjoy a scotch.

This is a great place to stay in the heart of the Royal Mile and plenty of space for a family of 5. Apartment was very clean and lots of great places to walk to eat and drink.

This apartment was perfect for my family of four! Spacious and clean. Paul and Chris were very helpful on many fronts! Also, all our tours met just a couple of feet from our front door! There is also a great pub just down the steps from the apartment. Really everything is right out the front door, but at the same time it is quiet. Also, you are just steps away from Edinburgh Castle! Don’t rent a car during your stay here. You don’t need it! Paul thank you so much for all your help! Folks this is the best place to rent for your vacation in this great city!

We rented the apartment on the royal mile, and had an amazing time. The apartment is unique and beautiful, and has everything you could need for a stay. Paul was so communicative and helpful, and we lacked for nothing. This will be our home base in Edinburgh next time as well. Thank you for everything!

Extremely convenient, the apartment is located in the heart of the city, very close to the castle. There are plenty of restaurants, pubs and grocery stores close by. The apartment was a very comfortable size for our family of 4 including 2 full bathrooms (with showers), a small but very functional kitchen, a reasonably sized living/dining room that never felt cramped and 2 separate bedrooms. The old stone walls provided some splendid character. We very much enjoyed our stay.

This property is fantastic -- tucked into a close, up an ancient curved staircase, and with huge views exploding onto the top of the Royal Mile. We loved our stay here. Old Edinburgh is at your doorstep, with all its cobbled charms. Restaurants are a breeze. Getting into the New Town is a cinch if you follow the close down the hill. The physical space is charming and comfortable and spacious. And check-in and check-out were seamless. We will absolutely rent this apartment again when we return to Edinburgh!

Great place at an incredible location
If you want to spend time on the Royal Mile, old towne Edinburgh this is the place for you. It is in the heart of everything on the Royal Mile. Wonderful space with that old town feeling! We brought our children (13 and 15) and they loved everything about the experience as well.

Did not go!!! An odd survery that does not let us explain the situation without answering the above
Fro the past few months, we were in touch with the owner, Paul, and told him our flight from the US was cancelled and we could not visit Edinburgh. He is holding the deposit for us in hopes we will be able to visit sometime in the future.

Everything was perfect. The location puts you in the middle of everything, but that comes with some noise but it was bearable.

Very charming flat! Facing the Royal Mile is at times noisy, a trade off for convenience.

Wonderful property. Wonderful location.
This property and it’s location are outstanding. Cozy but enough room for four people. The only drawback is the stairway. Curved and made of stone. But this can easily be overlooked because of the pluses this property offers.

Wow! What a great place right on the Royal Mile.
The whole experience was incredibly easy and stress free. Paul gave us good information about the area and what to expect when checking in. We spent several days in the highlands and knew that once we got to Edinburgh we would be up against the Fringe crowd. The streets were very busy but Paul’s direction helped us navigate our way to the property. When we arrived the apartment was very clean and welcoming. Paul was readily available to answer questions. The apartment is on the Royal Mile so we got to enjoy the music and street performers right in the apartment! No need to have a car as everything is within walking distance. At times it was very convenient to stop by the apartment to drop off bags or just relax and freshen up before going out in the evening. Overall, being at this property made the end of our trip enjoyable and also made us feel more like locals than tourists. I definitely recommend staying here!
