No matter what negatives I have to mention, you have a castle view and are steps away from all the old town landmarks. There are two flights of uneven spiral stairs to navigate. Any one aged or infirmed would find these hard to navigate. The bathroom is suffocatingly small and has barely enough room to turn around in. The bed, despite the addition of a topper, was lumpy, uncomfortable, and noisy. Jim

Perfect location for sightseeing. Beautiful view of the castle and Grassmarket from the dining table. The decor is a little tired, but everything worked. The bathroom is functional, but not appropriate for those suffering with claustrophobia. Although listed as available, there was no satellite television, the DVD player and its remote had a heavy layer of dust on them. The bed was comfortable and warm, but very squeaky and if one of us got up in the night, the other would be woken up from the squeaking. It is a lovely apartment, it just needs a little attention.

Excellent apartment in the historic Grassmarket area under the walls of Edinburgh Castle. Cosy, clean and comfortable. Within a few metres, cafe’s for breakfast, old traditional pub’s for lunch and restaurant’s for dinner. A great stay, recommended.

This apartment was perfect for our needs, very clean and tidy. More kitchen than we needed, but wonderful for those who want/ need to be cooking etc. What a view!! We couldn't have been in a better place for our first visit to Edinburgh - a wonderful city....

Listing pics don’t lie. The view was amazing and location so central and easy to get around. Perfect little spot and will definitely try to stay there again as we’ve already decided we need to visit Edinburgh again.

Amanda was very helpful. The location was amazing. Steps up tough but doable. Cheers Allen and Jill

The location of this apartment is outstanding. The photo doesn’t lie, there is a brilliant view of the castle from the lounge room window. It’s a great spot to visit the castle, ghost tours, the Royal Mile etc. apartment is well presented with comfortable bed, well organised kitchen & dining areas. The table in front of the window was a great spot for breakfast. Bathroom is definitely compact. Smoke alarms are very sensitive, allowing only a light toast of your breakfast, but I think it applies to all apartments in the block, as we could hear them going off one after the other while eating our breakfast. We stayed 4 nights. Saturday night in Grassmarket got a bit ugly outside, but we were able to retreat to the apartment and observe from a safe distance.

Loved this property, owner very helpful. Location is perfect and loved the unit. Beds very comfortable!

Amazing location, Edinburgh Castle view right outside living room window! Short walk to see it along with Royal Mike. There are numerous restaurants and shops nearby along with 2 convenience stores to buy supplies. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again! Thanks!

We loved this place for our stay! Centrally located to all the sites and dining options were endless. I highly recommend this place and Amanda was a great host - the coffee sure hit the spot in the mornings!

The Grassmarket area is a super central location for sightseeing in Edinburgh. Everything is a short walk away. I loved seeing the view of the castle from the front sitting room. Bedroom is in the back and was very quiet at night. Although we didn’t prepare our own food, the kitchen is well stocked with utensils etc. we found the flat to be very charming, even the spiral stairs to get up to it. Finally, Amanda was always very quick in responding with our questions.

Pictures do not do this property justice - central lo cation, gorgeous views - trust us, just book it, you will not be disappointed!

This apartment was perfect for our ‘empty nester’ trip. Very convenient to all the sites, restaurants and shopping. Wonderful view up the hill at the castle. Couldn’t have been better for us.

The apartment was amazing and location enviable. Everything within walking or an easily accessible bus ride. The only minor complaint was that we were driving a rental car and parking was a little confusing. All in all an excellent part of our adventure and a lifetime of memories.

Our stay in Edinburgh was most enjoyable. The apartment is located above Grass Market, which provides an easy walk to the old city. The apartments kitchen is well furnished with necessary cutlery and appliances. Apartment heating is very good. Bed is average. Lights in bedroom did not work. Bathroom is extremely small! The hot water fluctuations are extreme, to the point of being dangerous.

The highlight of the flat was the view from the living room window of the castle - and people watching on the Grassmarket. The apartment was comfortable and well-equipped. It was easy to find. We walked everywhere - even Waverly Station and New Town are a 20 minute walk (although you probably wouldn't want to drag a suitcase up and down the hill from Waverly Station). A caution for people with mobility issues - the apartment is on the second floor with no lift, accessed by a circular staircase. Part of the charm of being in an old building!

We had a great stay! The view of the Castle was fabulous and was also nice to look at the plaza and pubs. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Some light bulbs were out but it was no big deal. There is very little space to put your things in the bathroom and bedroom, which would be a problem for us in a longer stay. The milk and granola that Amanda left for us was greatly appreciated! Thanks again!

This apartment is very well located on Grassmarket to walk or catch the hop-on, hop-off buses right outside. The apartment is very nicely finished and has a comfortable sitting area in the living/kitchen area. The kitchen is good but we only used it for breakfast and tea/coffee. It was very nice to have tea, sugar, milk and coffee pods there when we arrived. The bed and the linens are comfortable. The bathroom is tiny but clean and the shower has good water pressure. We loved staying here for 5 nights in March and having the view of the castle and Grassmarket area. Thank you!

The apartment itself is very nice; a one bedroom with a pullout couch. We stayed for two nights in late December and could not have been happier. Location is awesome, minutes from the castle, directly across the street from some pubs and restaurants, and a 10/15 minute walk from the train station and much of tourist Edinburgh! The owner was great - super communication. The apartment was easy to find - great directions, and easy to get key and get in. Super wifi for four devices. Would happily stay here again!

The flat was comfortable and well-equipped, but most importantly well located. The plaza has plenty of food and drink options and is a great jumping off point for just about anywhere we wanted to go.
