Honestly couldn’t get a better location! There is some noise at night but we were able to sleep without a problem. Perfect place to stay!

This is great and fully functional apartment right in the heart of the city. It is close to all the tourist attractions and had everything we needed to spend a comfortable few days there. It did get a little loud at the weekend due to the proximity to the center but the room at the back quiet and we knew that going in due to the great location. We will definitely look to book again next time we come to edinburgh.

Comfortable stay. We had plumbing issues that the owner communicated well to help resolve. Note that "first floor" is up narrow, circular stairs (~2 flights). We were surprised and not thrilled about hauling large suitcases up & down it. Overall, comfortable beds & plenty of space for our party of 3. It was great to walk out and be in the heart of Old Town!

Location was great but the apartment was very dusty and dirty. Every glass had lip stick marks and piece of silverware had food on it. The kitchen counter was dusty. The door to the apartment should be replaced along with the locks that took two people and much finessing to open. If they could iron out a few wrinkles in this property the location is fabulous ! And a heads up for those not familiar with Edinburgh you will be dragging your luggage up and down cobblestone hills and stairways - Lots ! Make sure you’re physically prepared or just get a taxi to exact location.

The location of this property couldn’t be better, practically in the middle of Edinburgh and only a short walk from most of the attractions we wanted to see. However that came with one downside, which was that the noise from people on the street was very loud and continued until 3am one night, I was in the front bedroom and it was a very difficult nights sleep. The flat itself is nice, however we encountered a few issues with the boiler having low pressure, the toilet not flushing and one of the fuse box switches having been tripped on arrival - all easy fixes but not something I’d expect to have to fix myself. Overall it was a good stay, I just think the flat needs a little TLC.

The location could not have been better; value was exceptional. It must be made clear, however, that it takes two flights of stairs (32 steps in a rather narrow spiral staircase) to gain access to the flat. Having said that, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

This place is old. The floor squeaks, and toilet has some issues, but everything else worked fine. It has a washer and dryer, which was super convenient. It allowed us to pack much lighter and just rewash our clothes. There are all kinds of kitchen appliances for cooking, the water pot for tea and coffee was a life saver! The bed in the main room was comfy and warm. The person who slept in the other bedroom wasn't thrilled with their bed, but it was good enough. If you are coming as a family with young children, this probably isn't the place for you. It's right at the end of the Grass Market, which is restaurants and bars. It's noisy until the early morning hours, sometimes until 3 AM. If you are young and there to party with friends, this is a GREAT location. You are minutes from all kinds of great options for fun. You can actually see the activity out the living room window! The location is pretty central and you can get to all the main attractions by foot with a 10 - 20 minute walk. We were able to walk all over the city from this place. All in all, we were satisfied with the accommodations and would stay there again if we returned. For the price, we really had no complaints.

This place is a no frills, affordable two bedroom apt at the bottom of one of the iconic streets in Edinburgh. It can get loud at night as there are several late night clubs/bars nearby but you quickly get used to the city noises. I would definitely stay here again.
