I was concerned about my stay before I left, as I had read other online reviews that weren’t positive. The lights in the hall leading up to circular stairs did not work. I was assured that they would be working when I arrived as my stay was a month after the bad review. We arrived with no lights. It was very dangerous and a downright safety hazard. I contacted the host who apologized and said matter would be taken care of right away. I was there for a week and it didn’t work the day I left. Also, master bathroom didn’t seem to be cleaned. Someone else’s dark long hairs were all over the place. I contacted host and was told that the cleaning crew would be contacted immediately. No response from cleaners. I ended up cleaning myself. It’s a shame that this host is not responsive. I would definitely NOT recommend any property managed by this host.

Super easy access! Rooms were great, location was good… not close to the Mile/Castle but very safe and easy transportation to everything. Definitely would rent again!

Overall a nice place, entrance and stairway dirty, peeling paint, no lighting (not working).

Great location within walking distance of Old Town, Princes Street, restaurants and shopping. Parking on street is expensive and time restricted between 0830-1830 but free overnight. We found prebooking the car into the NCP Edinburgh Castle parkade for a lower daily rate was our best bet.

Unfortunately our first impression of the rental was poor. As soon as we retrieved the keys and opened the hallway entry door we noticed it was filled with a pile of trash. The smell was horrible and even after we removed it ourselves, the smell did not dissipate for many days. It was a shared hallway with another unit but we were unclear why the cleaner left things in this condition. The lights in the hallway were also broken so it was very dark navigating the narrow stairs. We had to use our phone lights to see the key holes. Paint was peeling off the walls. We were told the lights would be repaired but it did not occur during our stay. Once inside the unit things were much cleaner and brighter. It is very spacious with plenty of room for familiies to spread out. The neighborhood is very convenient with many pubs, restaurants, and grocery. The tram station is just minutes away. We did notice that it was difficult to keep the windows open because the street below was loud and there were food smells coming from the nearby restaurants. Not totally unpleasant but we eventually decided to just keep the windows closed. Some of the living room furniture was a bit dated and uncomfortable. We noticed that it would be helpful to have hooks by the door as there was nowhere to hang up coats from the rain. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and were able to walk many places throughout Edinburgh.

This place has an excellent location, within 15-30 min easy walk to all the attractions such as the Royal Mile, the Edinburgh Castle, shops, etc. The place is clean, the kitchen has everything we need to prepare a simple meal. We really enjoy the stay.

Excellent, easy walking distance to all the main attractions

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The apartment is in a great location, close to all the things we wanted to see in Edinburgh. The host was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
