Accommodation was great, couldn't be nearer to the Royal Mile (on it). We could watch street performers out of the window

Location was awesome...right on the royal mile
Maybe this was in the description but we did not see it...flat is on the 4th floor so had to walk up 4 flights of revolving staircase with heavy luggage...that was a surprise.
Flat was clean, beds comfortable, bathroom was fine...only downfall...place smelled like smoke so we had to keep windows open the entire time...could not connect to internet either...

This apartment was perfect for us. It's very walkable to just about everything we wanted to see and cozy when we wanted to rest on a cold, rainy evening.
Pros: Clean, spacious, very central location, easy to stop in between sights/shopping/eating, good heating, good price.
Cons: Narrow circular staircase without the best handrail, small shower if you're very tall or broad-shouldered, can be noisy (but that's the price of being in a central location).
We would stay in this place again if we came back!

Really easy check in and short walk from Waverley train station. Lovely view looking down on the royal mile and great spacious apartment with range of utilities. Heads up there's a few flights of stairs to get to the apartment.

Andy’s apartment is perfectly located in the middle of the best of Edinburgh. But once you are inside, it’s quiet and a comfortable refuge. Loved it!

The flat was a perfect size for our family of 4. We loved the location right above the Royal Mile. The windows opened easily which was nice for viewing and hearing the activities below- including sounds of bagpipes. The bedrooms were nice and quiet though because they're located on the backside. It was clean and had modern facilities. The climb up is the only difficult part but it helped burn off the calories from all the good eats nearby! Overall very nice and would highly recommend!!

Just back from a two day trip to Edinburgh to see Hamilton at the Festival Theatre, run Holyrood Parkrun and visit the Scottish parliament, and what a fantastic weekend we had!
The apartment is in a perfect location for everything and is also super bright and spacious and very well equipped. It was very clean and tidy, had lovely towels, plenty of storage for our clothes and a really decent kitchen for a short stay.
Accessing the flat was easy. The stairs, although spiraling up 3 floors, were also much more easily negotiated than other similar Edinburgh apartments we have previously stayed in. Bedrooms are to the back so away from the street noise and a good night's sleep was enjoyed after each busy day.
Would book again next time we visit the Capital.

Flat was fairly clean. I'm a clean freak so not 100% to my standards, but pretty good. The flat is fourth floor with a spiral staircase and I wasn't sure about this. I'm a 53 year old fat lady with a bad knee, and I made it just fine. I had to rest on the way up, but made it without too much trouble. Carrying luggage, it's a lot.
The flat is comfortable with most of the conveniences of home. Lots of helpful travel books and brochure. Location couldn't be better being about half way of the Royal Mile.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was right in the center of everything , very walkable to everything. It was comfortable and clean. The host was very responsive.
It is on the 4th floor and the steps are small and spiral but it wasn’t a big deal to us, it was fine. We loved it.
I highly recommend staying here if your in Edinburgh.

This was a very comfortable place to stay, right on the Royal Mile. The bed was nice and firm, living room couches were nice, bathroom equipped with amenities. The host was quick to respond to a minor problem that was fixed in minutes. There is quite a bit of stairs getting up to the flat, but doable even with luggage. Was nice to look out the windows and see what's happening on the street below. I'd stay here again if and when I'm back in Edinburgh
4.9
Great unit in excellent location. It would have been fine if we were just weekend travelers with small luggage or backpack. We'd been traveling for 15+ days with medium size suitcases and backpacks which made it extremely difficult to climb 4 flights of a spiraling staircase. But for that, its a great place to stay.
4.9
This property was perfect for those who want to stay as central to EVERYTHING in Edinburgh. Easy to explore the city when your flat is a stone's throw away from all the excitement!
Surprisingly quiet for being so close to the action. Very well kept and comfortable.
The location of the entry is a little tricky, but we had some nice people help point us in the right direction. Only word of warning is getting up to the flat - spiral stairs up about 4 floors. Its a little tricky if you have heavy bags.... however its WORTH IT.
Had an amazing time - would highly recommend.

Great location, very clean.

I stayed with my wife and two of our friends at the flat, and was really happy with our choice. Less than a 10 minute walk from most of our planned activities, the train station, and the castle set on a gorgeous part of the royal mile.
The flat was clean, the property manager was helpful, and it has great views out both sides!
4.9
Andy is very nice, we spent wonderful days at Edinburg. The place is so well located and the apartment got everything you need. We recommend without any hesitation!
Thanks again. :)

The apartment was lovely and warm, very nicely furnished and cosy and had everything we needed to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay. Central to everything the position is perfect on the atmospheric Royal Mile, we loved watching from the window seat in the apartment. We went to the castle light show, the vaults tour, the Christmas markets and the Monkey Barrel Comedy Club. Yes the stairs up to the apartment are steep but didn’t pose a problem for us. The location is brilliant. Our host Andy was very helpful and quick to respond. Check in really easy. Would definately stay again.
4.9
We enjoyed our stay very much. Apartment was spotlessly clean, comfortable with all facilities you would need. Stairs up to the apartment are fairly steep solid spiral which make your heart pump. This would not put us off returning. Location is brilliant, right in the middle of things. Bedrooms are at the back of the property so sleep is not distrubed. Would definitely reccommend.
4.9
We loved our stay ! The circular staircase was challenging with our luggage but we laughed about it the entire way up! The flat is very clean and comfortable. The location is ideal as it’s close to the rail station, the castle, and all the amazing food and shops.
We really appreciated how quiet the flat was. Yes, we would book again. ❤️

This was a beautiful appartment with a great location. The only thing i think they should mention in the description is the accessibility. The stairs up to the apartment were difficult.

The location could not be beat. The apartment met and exceeded our expectations.
4.9
The flat was very clean and offered a great location and beautiful accommodations! The beds were very comfortable. The only downfall is we did not realize the amount of stairs that had to be climbed, which offered some difficulty at times. Anyone with heart concerns or old age may have difficulty with the amount of steps to get to the flat. All in all, this flat offered everything you could ever need when visiting this beautiful city.
4.9
The flat was in an ideal location and very well appointed. The beds were super comfortable and the bedrooms were not on the street side therefore were relatively quiet. The flat was exactly as described. The lock box is the top one of eight therefore if you were short in stature it might be a bit tricky to see the numbers to open. Check in and check out we’re straight forward. Overall a wonderful spot!
4.9
Not only was it located in a perfect spot to see everything and get guided tours nearby....But it was such a lovely apartment and so clean! The beds were very comfortable, which is very important to me because I usually hate the beds in hotels....
4.9
Fab location, spotless apartment in heart of Edinburgh. Sprial stairs up to flat were a killer as 3 flights up. Only thing I could add is one bath towel per person isn't enough for a 2 night stay as I shower every day. Towels were great quality. Loved the window seat looking onto Riyal Mile. Highly recommend
4.9
The flat is in an ideal location for visiting the museums and galleries. Checking in was a little difficult as the light on our landing was out, so we were fumbling with the keys in the dark. The bedrooms were comfortable, but there is not much space for cooking and eating. There is no bath, just a small shower.
4.9
Awesome apartment right in the center of everything.

Renting was lovely and everything was great and very clean only down fall boiler was going all night especially in the bedroom hard to sleep

We loved this flat. From the moment we opened the door we knew we made the right selection. It was spotless and so welcoming. The location is magnificent and convenient to all shops, pubs and restaurants. Paul was very responsive to all questions we had. We can’t wait to return one day and would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I enjoyed our week long stay at this beautiful flat right on the Royal Mile! We enjoyed the location and it’s proximity to many excellent restaurants, pubs and New Town. We were pleasantly surprised at how many restaurants offered vegan and vegetarian options. Even being directly on the Royal Mile, we found the flat to be quiet as the bedrooms are located in the back. Andy was easy to deal with and provided some great tour suggestions to the Highlands and other great destinations within Scotland. Would highly recommend! As a side note, it is four flights up a spiral staircase to the flat. We treated it as our daily exercise so didn’t bother us at all!
4.9
We had a wonderful stay here in Edinburgh. Andy was amazing with communicating, and even let us check in early when our flight changed. I can't stress how great this location is. It is right in the thick of the city, in the best way possible. A very short walk to all of the major sites, yet it is high enough off the street so there is virtually no noise. The stairwell was a little rough the first day carrying up luggage, but overall not a big deal. The flat was very clean and beds were very comfy. We would definitely recommend staying here!
4.9
We liked the flat although the spiral staircase was a challenge with luggage. It also had no lighting on upper floors so was hard to see at night.
We had no hot water in the unit for one day and contacted the host. He proceeded to fix it that day, but we weren’t able to take showers before we headed out for the day.
Overall a nice place in a wonderful location.
4.9
This location can’t be beat! It was walkable to everything but noise was not a factor. The beds were comfortable and communication with the host was excellent. I’ll miss sitting in the window seat watching the activity on the street.
4.9
Amazing location
This place was beautiful, if you don’t like stairs though be warned I believe there are 69 to climb. We enjoyed our stay very much. Of course we arrived during the hottest days on record but the apartment wasn’t that bad. I had to contact the owner about a power issue and he got back to me fairly quickly. I highly recommend!
