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!
4.1
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.
4.1
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!
4.1
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.
4.1
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.
4.1
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.
4.1
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.
4.1
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.
4.1
The location of this property is terrific, however making allowances for the age of the property, the furnishings and paintwork were a bit tired. The new kitchen was very good.
In relation to the cleanliness, there was a lot of black mould in the shower and signs that it had not been cleaned in a while and the shower drained poorly.
The bathroom sink also has no hot water.
The foldout couch is very short for an average height person and hard.
Overall we had a great time here.
4.1
Great location on the Grass Market with many shops and restaurants. Just a short walk to the Royal Mile. Entry is though narrow steep stairs.
4.1
Lovely flat, oaken floors, beautiful old furniture.
And the view!
I will be back for sure.
4.1
Stairs were not discussed- 3 flights of spiral narrow stairs to get to first floor. Dirty. Reeked. Host unavailable. We did not stay, we found a hotel. Worst experience from a VRBO property
4.1
Location very good. Busy area. So noisy at night.
The flat is good for getting around.
We had trouble getting in as we did not realise we had to push service button first and then use the keys for the flat upstairs.
Plenty of clean linen and towels if you are staying for a longer period.
4.1
Apartment was very clean. Utilities was great. You just can walk Old Town. It is close to Pubs, restaurant and shops.
4.1
We enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh! We had a little trouble getting the downstairs door unlocked, but once my son figured it out, we put him in charge of locking and unlocking it each time. The location was great, we tried many restaurants around the area and enjoyed our stay. The bar on the street( Bar Salsa) is a very lively bar, so it did get quite noisy, however, it is summer and peak tourist season- so we just rolled with it. Would definitely stay here again.
4.1
Ideal location - the apartment has everything you need
4.1
The location of this apartment is great! It’s right on Grassmarket square. The apartment is a bit run down though. The kitchen looks to be redone but the other rooms could use some painting & repair. The couch in living room & futon in one of the bedrooms is in definite need of replacement. The bathroom shower didn’t drain well but we did have lots of hot water. The property communication was good & as I said before the location was excellent. Lots of fun to be on the square.
4.1
Great location, lively and full of atmosphere. Great pubs and restaurants. Good sized apartment with lots of amenities.
4.1
Great location for walking everywhere! Affordable and the owner is great. Very friendly and responsive.

Steps up to the door are a steep spiral staircase and the bed is low and lumpy but the location is perfect and its roomy.

Enjoyed my stay!

FILTHY UNLIT ENTRY UNLIT STAIRWELL We arrived in the dark in the rain. Host said no problem, lock box, manual. Bldg entry unlit & disgusting: spit, mud, cigarettes, random trash (only seen next day).Balanced on wet step leaning over to open lock box using cell phone flashlight while holding umbrella. It was pitch dark in stairwell with 30+ steps (2nd floor not 1st) totally Dark for first 16 steps. We notified the host. no lights 2 weeks later when we left. just "apologies"
UNSECURED FRONT DOOR TO PROPERTY 3 keys in lock box. The second set only had 2 -- host advised no key necessary for front door just push service buzzer.
JAMMED LOCK ON FLAT DOOR Striker plate for top lock falling off causing lock to jam. My boyfriend fixed it so we wouldnt be trapped.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER dated 2009
NO HOT WATER TO BATHROOM SINK
MANUAL from prior management co. at least 10 years outdated. useless.
BEDS, SOFA, & ARM CHAIR broken down very uncomfortable. both beds too small for couple. one is only 12" above floor.
WALLS cracked and dirty CARPET, throw pillows, spare blankets ALL disgusting
-- necessary repairs were mentioned in prior reviews -- never fixed. In 10 yrs host did not update manual.
4.1
Apt in a Great location in the Grassmarket. The apartment is in an old building with stone spiral steps so if you had mobility issues it would not suit you. Looks to have had a new kitchen installed as different from the listed photos, well enough equipped. Large front bedroom. Medium sized second bedroom. Small bathroom but it done the job. Only criticism is that the apt could really do with a fresh lick of paint. All in all we had a good stay here. Thank you

Was wery Well placed, near by everything..:)
4.1
We recommended this flat. Great value
4.1
Everything about the flat was good, the comfortable beds, hot shower, well equipped kitchen, plenty of space and cleanliness made it a pleasure to stay at. This is located in an old building so expect the odd creaky floorboards and occasional sticky door - it adds character. The location was amazing, we walked to the castle in 5-10 minutes. Plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within a minute or two. We found breakfast at the place downstairs very good and would definitely recommend the Mussel and Steak bar next door too. The flat was warm enough without the heating on and there were big windows to open if too warm. We would certainly stay here again although I'd recommend earplugs of you are a light sleeper as there is a late night bar just across the road - we had the windows open all night so could people chatting. Everything from booking to leaving was easy and Gavin was always available on the run up to arrange check in and departure.
4.1
Fantastic location in Grassmarket. Kitchen, 2 bedrooms, comfy leather couch for TV watching, and a clothes washer! There were only 2 of us but it would work well for a family. There was a child's highchair in one of the closets. Check in was easy and worked just as the owner said. The spiral staircase was challenging for people with oversize luggage.
4.1
We were so close to everything! It made it so easy to maneuver and get our day going. We loved having two bedrooms, hot water and a fridge. Worked out great for a four night stay!

Stayed for 3 nights 4 adults very spacious came for the tattoo and the fringe excellent location would definitely stay again x
4.1
Great location!!
Gavin’s flat was in a great location. It was short walking distance to Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and the train. Plenty of restaurants/pubs right on your doorstep. The flat was very clean and communication/directions were fantastic. Our flight arrived early in the morning and Gavin was so kind to let us store our luggage while we explored Edinburgh before check-in.
4.1
Nice kitchen, Gavin was always quick to respond. Not a family place. Water tank that needed monitoring with a bowl under it because it leaked. With the exception of the kitchen, generally needed cleaning. We were scheduled to stay 4 nights. As soon as we arrived, we started looking for a new place to stay and moved the next morning elsewhere. The trash in the alley, loud drunks and the man urinating in the alley, which we could hear from our bed, was the nail on the coffin.

Other reviews describe property well, but some are a little harsh. A bit rough around the edges in some regards but it has everything you need and the location is perfect. For the location this ample size property is very hard to beat for value. Perfect for myself and I enjoyed my stay here very much.

This flat is in a good area, in central Edinburgh. It's an old flat, so can forgive some features (like uneven floors) but the floor into the kitchen is actually sagging and needs attention. A lick of paint would also make the place much more appealing (and cover the stains on kitchen wall and bathroom ceiling).
Bathroom and living areas cleanliness were ok. However, the kitchen was not clean - we cleaned out the frindge and needed to clean anything we were going to use first, before we were comfortable using it. Oven controls were also broken/illegible so impossible to see what setting it was on.
The bed in the second bedroom needs replacing - it had many broken slats, that weren't fitted in correctly and kept falling down, and a stained mattress. At least the bedding seemed clean.
We also had an issue with the second set of keys which were missing one of the required keys, but we managed with one set and left notes for the owner. The outer door lock to the block of flats was broken when we arrived, but was fixed during our stay.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh and this could be a lovely flat if these points were addressed.

This was a perfect location for our trip with everything being easy walking distance. Plenty of shops and pubs on your doorstep.
Flat was nice and big and bright and had everything we need. Needs a few minor repairs.
Overall, better than expected.

Excellent location on Diagon Alley for sightseeing, although we could smell the nearby seafood restaurant outside the front door, and it was quite noisy.
