The Forbes home was perfect for our family of seven adults to base our 12-day stay in Edinburgh. It is difficult for the pictures to give the true pictures of the beauty of this home. The beds all were comfortable, and the size of the home accommodated us without feeling like we were on top of each other. The kitchen/eating area was perfect for meal preparation and conversations. The sitting room provided a comfortable space to visit and unwind for the day. Everything we needed in the kitchen was provided and well-stocked with essentials. Hanna made the booking process easy and was great at communicating everything we needed to know about the home and Edinburgh. Rosanna welcomed us with warm hospitality when we arrived and was a blessing to our weary traveling group. She was just a text away if we needed anything or had questions throughout our stay. Once outside the home, its location was perfect for walking trips to many of the popular Edinburgh attractions. Waverly station was a short walk for train trips to other parts of Scotland. The Royal Mile, Victoria Street, National Museum, Calton Hill, Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood, Arthur’s Seat, plus all points in-between were walkable for everyone in our party except my 91-year-old dad. The local restaurants within a few blocks of the house (The Ox, Magnum, fed!) provided many great meals for our family – and they make you feel like your part of their family. Highly recommend this place if you are traveling to Edinburgh.

7 London Street was a fabulous base for 4 nights as we celebrated our son’s wedding at the Prestonfield House. The flat was brilliantly equipped with a great kitchen with handsome flagstone floors and every room had marvellous high ceilings and grand windows to flood the rooms with light. Beds were comfortable with soft linens and good pillows. We were met by a charming and friendly property manager who immediately made us welcome. Lovely welcome basket, excellent location in the New Town, central yet peaceful: this place ticked all the boxes. Definitely one to recommend!

Our family of 5 had a fabulous stay in Hannah's beautiful home. It was well equipped with everything you might need and we found the location so convenient for getting around the city. The beds were like sleeping on clouds. Rosanna, the manager, was lovely and so helpful! We absolutely loved returning to the apartment at the end of each day. I would absolutely recommend this stunning home. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you so much for the wonderful welcome basket and the warm hospitality.

This apartment was incredible. It was spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated throughout. The owners were lovely and accommodating. We cannot wait to come back and we would highly recommend the location.

Everything about this property is outstanding! High quality furnishings, fixtures and fittings, fully equipped for every eventuality and the most comfortable beds and bedding imaginable. It’s ideally located to walk to Edinburghs attractions or catch an Uber if preferred. Our host was welcoming and immediately responsive with any queries. We were even left a delightful welcome package including a delicious home baked cake on arrival, a little touch that made us feel very welcome and contributed to a perfect getaway. Thank you

My husband and I recently visited the Forbes Residence for a 2 week working stay with our 8 month old son. It was an absolute dream. A stunning, homely, comfortable residence with ample space and every amenity. Mary who manages the property was lovely, helpful and incredibly responsive. The flat is perfectly located in a wonderful neighbourhood that is walking distance to everything including some fantastic local eateries. Can’t say enough good things, wish we lived there :)

We really enjoyed our stay. The flat was well taken care of and conveniently within walking distance of everything that Edinburgh has to offer.

Great facilities (although no microwave) in well equipped and spacious apartment that comfortably accommodated seven of us. Lovely welcome pack of essentials and some goodies was a very nice surprise.

We loved our stay at this fabulous apartment. The location is accurately described in the listing, very close to everything you might want to do. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds were comfortable. The apartment was professionally decorated, and was one of the nicest rentals I have stayed in. Please be advised, however, that there is NO off street parking. The only place to park is in a metered spaces in front of the unit, and the spaces are extremely limited. Fortunately, we arrived on Friday and It is free to park there on Saturday and Sunday. So we only had to pay for Friday afternoon and Monday morning. Very expensive metered parking.

Home was beautiful, very comfortable and an easy walk to everything from restaurants & bars to shopping & old town

Seven of us — ages 12-84 — stayed in the flat. We had a wonderful time. The flat itself has everything you need and is very well appointed. The pictures are accurate. We found the flat to be more spacious than we expected and very comfortable. The furnishings are all well maintained and comfortable. A lovely welcome basket was given to us — the fresh loaf of delicious bread was a hit with everyone. The flat is in a quiet area and is peaceful. There is a playground just around the corner. Restaurants are plentiful and nearby. There are several grocery shopping options nearby too. To get around, we did a mix of walking & taxi. It is hilly so if you plan on walking principally have good walking shoes. I walked up to the royal mile and all around the Old Town area. City Taxi provided good on time service. One day we rented a car from the rental place down the street and explored Scotland outside Edinburgh. You definitely do not need a car in this area. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Previous reviews and pictures accurately portray apartment. It is spacious, well furnished, w responsive owners/staff. We would stay again.

The Forbes HOME is a grand, warm, very well decorated and finely appointed home that is greatfully shared with travelers to the grand city of Edinburgh. Our family of eight loved it!

We loved staying at this beautifully decorated flat that felt immediately like home.

We stayed for a week in July during the festival. The apartment is beautiful, full of light and spacious, located on a quiet street in central Edinburgh, walking distance from the old town, museums, botanical gardens and main street. The apartment is perfect for a large family or two small ones with 4 comfortable bedrooms ( soft cotton bed linen, down and feather pillows and duvets!) and a large living room where we played games, did yoga and relaxed. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances needed to cook and dine. We also enjoyed several restaurants close to the apartment. Hannah, the owner, met us personally and kindly offered to help us with reservations. She recommended the silent dancing tour which was fantastic!

This is apartment is in the ideal location. It's beautifully decorated. The owner had a nice welcome basket when we arrived. It's quiet at night and in walking distance to everything. There are nice restaurants and pubs around the corner along with grocery stores and quaint shops. You never need a car to get anything. We would love to visit again. The flat, the people, and the country of Scotland are truly amazing.

Perfectly positioned and perfectly presented

Wonderful stay. Comfortable, well appointed and designed. A pleasurable jumping off point for any nearby explorations in New Town restaurants, a few more minutes to the Royal Mile, and the world of golf is 20 minutes away in East Lothian. Gracious hosts. Highly recommended!

Great location, great apartment, newly renovated. Front door lock a little quirky.

Absolutely wonderful, well-appointed, cozy, roomy and easy. Thank you for allowing our family to be together in an amazing flat. We were all sorry to leave. Until next time.....

there were 8 of us, we met the owner upon arrival, she was so nice. great location, very lovely apartment.

We had a family trip and spent five nights in this lovely apartment in the centre of Edinburgh. The location is really great - very central in the area full of Georgian styled buildings. The rooms look exactly like the photos - beautifully designed, decorated with taste, luxurious and super clean. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed. The communication with the owner or staff went smoothly. There has always been a fast reply, whenever we asked any questions. Checking in was also fast, easy and very welcoming. Thanks for hosting us.

Hectic week at the fringe but the flat was beautiful and comfortable to come home to every night

We had a very entertaining and enjoyable week during the Edinburgh festival.

Great for us, family of 4 plus one gf, perfect location for a week at the Fringe. Away from the bustle of the Old Town and with plenty of great places around and a short walk to Princes Street to get into the heart of the action.

A wonderful find! We had the privilege of staying at this wonderful flat with 3 other couples. We never felt crowded as there was plenty of room for spreading out and for privacy. The decor is top notch and the interface with the owner and caretaker was easy and timely. We hope to return again soon!

This is a wonderful flat. Very large, impeccably decorated and well maintained apartment in a quiet area.

From beginning to end this was a wonderful experience. Communication, assistance with queries, all handled promptly and with warmth and generosity. The apartment is beautiful. Spacious comfortable and superbly decorated and equipped. Luxurious beds, generous comfy couches and an amazing kitchen made it so easy to stay in and catch up on family time. Great neighborhood restaurants, a convenience store close by and a few blocks to the main centre. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
