"This is THE place to stay in Edinburgh! It was newly remodeled and beyond comfortable with everything you could possibly need. This flat had killer views of Edinburgh castle and was literally a skip away from tons of great pubs and restaurants. I cannot wait to come back and if this fabulous place isn’t booked up, it will be my go to!" Julia - June 2021
"Absolutely loved our time at this property. The apartment is better than the pictures and is perfectly located. The living area is modern and allows you chill when you want a break from seeing the city. Lloyd made us feel welcome and we knew he was only a message away. Definitely looking at booking this place again the next time we visit Edinburgh" Thomas - July 2021

What a fantastic stay in Edinburgh. The place is perfectly located and makes it easy to get around the city. Apartment is comfy & cozy on a cold winters night - we so enjoyed the view of the castle cozied up by the fireplace. Host was incredibly responsive to our needs. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful yet cozy with great view and location in city center. Owners are amazingly responsive and helpful. We would stay again for sure!

This listing is exactly as pictured on the site. The apartment is in a very cool part of old-town, a bit outside the main tourist areas to avoid the crowds, but close enough to everything. We found the local pubs and restaurants to be the best in the city. The deck is amazing, and the castle views can't be beat! It is on the third floor up the stairs, but that is typical for these apartments and was not an issue for us. The views are worth it! Beds were very comfortable and we slept very well. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to Edinburgh!

We are still gushing about how wonderful our stay was. Unforgettable location, top-notch hosts, and comfortable accommodations. The view is incredible and the flat is surprisingly quiet despite the location. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!

I cannot go on enough about this gem of an apartment. Rose Street itself is such a treat, but to have it as your base is a dream!
The apartment itself was super clean, well appointed and quaint. We did not want to leave. Not gonna lie…the stairs to the apartment were a challenge for my old body, but very much worth it!!!

The property is in a great location. You can walk to so many places. The outside rooftop space with a view of the castle was the best.

Great stay in Edinburgh
Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Edinburgh Rooftop Terrace. Communication with the owner was exceptional. Lloyd reached out to us, to make sure we were in good shape accessing the property and to let us know he was available for any questions. The property was perfect for our brief stay in Edinburgh, along a pedestrian street with many pubs and shops. There are several grocery shops nearby as well.
The view of the castle from the terrace is stunning! We were able to walk to all the sites we planned to visit and many restaurants. We would certainly stay here again!

Short Stay
Fantastic property & location with the roof terrace being the star of the show. South facing so if you get the weather like we managed it is a real bonus to be sitting in the sun right in the heart of Edinburgh.

Fantastic apartment in the perfect location
A great property with awesome views right in the heart of the city. We had a lovely week in the apartment- absolutely perfect for a family with older teenagers. It was so nice to not get in the car for a few days and simply explore all the city has to offer on foot. Everything is kitted out well, the terrace was cool - a superb space to chill and soak up the atmosphere all around. Great communication and warm welcome from Lloyd too. Definitely the place to stay to enjoy a relaxing and comfortable city break at any time of the year.
