Overall, Stuart’s flat was very nice. A bit dated but it was clean and it appeared as advertised. Stuart was very responsive to our questions and needs. When I say it could use some updating I mean the master suite mattress needs to be replaced, along with its sheets. Towels also could use some updating. But we felt safe in the unit. We loved staying in Leith. It was so fun to get to talk with locals at the pubs. The area doesn’t feel like a tourist area. So if you are going to Edinburgh, and don’t want to stay in the central city, Leith is the spot. We were about three blocks from the tram line. Easy on, easy off to downtown or even to the airport. Hop on and you’re there. We’d stay at Stuart’s place again. It just needs an update.

A very nice place to stay, close to the tram and therefore easy access to central Edinburgh. Close to the Royal Yacht Brittanica so we took advantage of that and enjoyed it. Clean property and has everything you need.

Great location with trams, shops and pubs just a few mins walk away. Flat was well equipped, spacious and quiet considering how central to Edinburgh it is located.

My family of 4 stayed in this flat and had a great time. The flat was perfect for our needs and was even nicer than we expected. We loved Leith and were glad to learn more about this part of Edinburgh also. Highly recommend
