Comfortable and convenient for tram travel. Host very accomodating permitting an early check-in.

The flat was just as described. Short walk to the tram and easy to get Edinburgh and all the attractions. You don't need a vehicle for this location. Stuart was a wonderful host. Would stay here again.
10.0
Perfect location, away from the busy main area yet only a short tram ride to and from Princess Street with the extra bonus of having the tram on the doorstep.
The accomodation had all that was required to make our stay perfect and Stuart the owner was very helpful and responded very quickly to any questions we had.
8.0
Overall happy with the property. Very easy to travel into the city centre - 5 minutes to the tram then 10-15 mins to Princes Street.
Lovely park just down the road and lots of local amenities. Private parking available.
Great communication from host Stuart before and during our stay
8.0
Overall, a very nice condo/townhouse, very modern, and clean. Check in process was a bit challenging since the nearby bar did not have keys for us to pickup, however the owner walked me through how to find the "emergency keys" stored in another location. Unfortunately, I had to go to the local convenient store to purchase toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner/body wash the morning after we arrived since the unit was very low on TP and did not have the shower items mentioned at all. However, very nice owner, nice location, walking distance to river and some really nice restaurants, pub, and public transportation. Not far from castle and downtown Edinburgh. Overall, a very nice VRBO. A bit pricey, however nice location and unit.

Overall, Stuart’s flat was very nice. A bit dated but it was clean and it appeared as advertised. Stuart was very responsive to our questions and needs. When I say it could use some updating I mean the master suite mattress needs to be replaced, along with its sheets. Towels also could use some updating. But we felt safe in the unit.
We loved staying in Leith. It was so fun to get to talk with locals at the pubs. The area doesn’t feel like a tourist area. So if you are going to Edinburgh, and don’t want to stay in the central city, Leith is the spot. We were about three blocks from the tram line. Easy on, easy off to downtown or even to the airport. Hop on and you’re there.
We’d stay at Stuart’s place again. It just needs an update.

We came for graduation and ate out all our meals.

A very nice place to stay, close to the tram and therefore easy access to central Edinburgh. Close to the Royal Yacht Brittanica so we took advantage of that and enjoyed it. Clean property and has everything you need.

My family of 4 stayed in this flat and had a great time. The flat was perfect for our needs and was even nicer than we expected. We loved Leith and were glad to learn more about this part of Edinburgh also. Highly recommend

Not posh but very clean and good location with restaurants within walking distance and reasonably priced taxi ride to the center of Edinburgh. Stuart communicated well and the pub crew was very friendly.

We traveled to the UK for my daughters high school graduation. We traveled around a lot though Stuarts flat was one of the best VRBOs we found. Very clean, comfortable and the host was very responsive. It was a great stay!!

Property was clean and comfortable.
Stuart was VERY responsive and helpful.
10.0
The property was clean, tidy and comfortable - we were only 2 people, but it was a decent size big enough for a family of 4 or 4 adults. We loved the location in Leith - nice and quiet at night, but with plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance and also close enough to the city centre to be easily accessed by tram or bus.
The property owner was really communicative and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again.
10.0
We stayed for three nights and were very comfortable at the apartment. There are many local restaurants, pubs, and coffee shops within walking distance, and well-stocked supermarkets for provisions. We loved the convenient tram stop that took us to and from the city center, and to transport us from the airport to Leith on the day of our arrival. All in all it felt like home! I would definitely recommend this lodging for anyone visiting Edinburgh.
10.0
We loved Stuart's property in Leith so much we decided to stay another night. His property was unfortunately not available but he helped connect us with others who could house us. Truly above and beyond host and amazing guy. Could not recommend enough.

Would stay there again

We liked the location of the apartment. However, we rented a car and drove to parking near the Royal Mile. The apartment was dated but it was comfortable.

10.0
Perfect stay for the family. Has everything you may need. Parking was a life saver, especially around Edinburgh Stephen is a great host, kept us updated. Would definitely recommend to family and friends
10.0
This was a fantastic location to explore Edinburgh. Leith itself is a great hub and the flat is just a few hundred yards from The Shore tram stop - a quick zip into the city centre. Having a private parking space is a huge benefit as parting in Edinburgh is usually a nightmare. The flat is spacious and comfortable. I would absolutely come back.
10.0
The apartment is brilliantly located 2 mins from the tram and a short walk from historic Leith port and a variety of bars and restaurants. Free off road parking and pup friendly. Our host was easily accessible, helpful and very amusing. I’ve dropped one star because the oven didn’t work and we couldn’t cook our supper on the first night. I’m sure Stuart will get that sorted 😊
10.0
Very comfortable home base for several days with part of the time seeing Edinburgh and part of the time relaxing in the flat.

6.0
Stuart was really easy to work with/communicate with! Leith was much more convenient than I expected. The tram to Edinburgh is very easy to use and just a short walk to the flat. The flat itself is a little dated/cluttered and it sorta feels like you are staying at your bachelor uncle’s place while he is away…the beds arent the most comfy, and the showers are a little weird, but it is a convenient, safe. well managed flat. There is a lot of good info about Edinburgh and Leith in the flat, And Stuart was terrific and very communicative.

Would definitely recommend.

This warm and charming flat was already wonderfully located being a block off of Leith Links and blocks from The Shore, Easter Road, and Leith Walk. Now with a tram stop just two blocks away, access to the heart of Edinburgh and the airport is ridiculously easy. The flat itself is cozy and charming. It features two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It's surprisingly roomy. The locals in the neighborhood are welcoming and friendly. I could have stayed much, much longer and will certainly be looking into renting this space again for my next visit (my fifth in two years and easily the best of all of my rentals).
