The Neighborhood:
Standing proudly close to Holyrood Palace, this is a unique location in the heart of the Old Town.

Situated at the very heart of the capital, the property is just minutes from Princes Street, the Royal Mile and Waverley Railway Station, from which there are also regular buses to the airport.

Nearby lots of fantastic bars and restaurants, see my online guide book for other details.

The vast open spaces at Holyrood Park are only minutes away, where you can get 360 degree views of the city from Salisbury Crags .

Edinburgh's Grassmarket is within walking distance, as are a large variety of famous museums, theatres and tourist attractions.

Getting Around:
I recommend down loading the Lothian bus app. It has a great route planner, and the Edinburgh bus service is very good. Edinburgh also has a tram service which takes you from the city centre to the airport. As Edinburgh is relatively small city taxis are also inexpensive.

Other Things to Note:
Please be aware we provide travel pop up cots but not the laundry or bedding. The cot is standard size and we only supply the basic mattress that comes with the cot. We do not accept responsibility for the use of the travel cot or high chair. Please note the cot will not be made upon arrival.

We are always here to help. Please contact us via your booking channel and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

The apartment was very clean upon arrival. The secondary bedroom is right over the busy street, which made it noisy, but not terrible. Be prepared to be greeted sith 2 sets of spiral staircases immediately after opening the door to the building. Host was very responsive to any questions we had, so that made it a nice experience as well. Fantastic location, right on the Royal Mile. So many restaurants, pubs, shops, coffee places close by. Overall had a great visit.

1. On check-in, the instructions to get in were wrong. Said the box for the key would be labeled with a number 1. When we got there, there were 5 boxes, none labeled number 1. We had to try all of them, before one opened. 2. No dryer. Washing machine only. 3. Only 2 rolls of toilet paper with only 1/3 paper on them. Contacted management immediately. Only said so sorry box not labeled and no mention of the toilet paper. 4. 48 hours later, towels arrived, but no toilet paper. Was finally told, so sorry, but service to our unit no longer available. That we should buy our own toilet paper and they would reimburse. 5. I bought immediately and sent receipt. Later that evening, toilet paper and a bottle of wine INSIDE our unit. However, had already purchased at that point and no time to drink the wine, day 4 of 5. 6. Had a problem checking out, did not contact me until that evening and then they made strange comments of leaving both keys, when only one....had already left the building 7. Please note, that while this building is in a highly desirable area, it has a very steep, winding staircase. Not easy for women to negotiate luggage. Or even men, we had to help the taxi driver male who was kind enough to try to help us. Once there, no air-conditioning. We had to leave windows open and people walking in area at night partying even though no business or restaurants open. Overall, because of no ac, no dryer, no lift, not a good place to stay.
