Walkable home away from home in Old town Edinburgh
The apartment was so convenient and walkable to all the main sites. It was also quiet even though outside was very noisy during the festival. It was like a home away from home.

Perfect location for a 3 day trip in Edinburgh
The location is so good for walking around Old Town. Bus stop right on Chambers Street. Right across the street from the museum. Grocery down the street and around the corner. Many, many pubs and restaurants near by.
Small things like only 2 towels provided initially , walls that need repainted and blinds that are not room darkening were not a major issue for us. Excellent communication back and forth with site with any questions.

You absolutely cannot beat the area of this property. It’s so central to all the spots you want to visit in Old Town, and is only a 16 minute walk to New Town. One of the absolute best parts of this booking was the inclusion of laundry - we wouldn’t have made it through our vacation without it!

This is a wonderful place to stay! Located very close to all the must-see areas of Old Town and New Town, it’s walkability was amazing. The room was very clean, had all amenities we needed, and the communication with staff was quick and kind. Highly recommend this apartment if you’re staying in the heart of Edinburgh.

Location of this apartment is convenient, close to hop-on hop-off stops, but I would not rent this apartment again because it has no AC and windows overlook the roadway. If you decide to open windows to get fresh air you cannot sleep because of very loud noise from the street.

Nice Apartment
My wife and I spent three nights in Edinburgh as part of a month long trip and chose this property based on its location and that it had a washer for us to do our laundry. It’s a great apartment, location can’t be beat , we were very pleased and felt right at home.

Excellent property in a perfect locale to see old Edinburgh. Although there is no onsite staff (they are apartments) checkin was smooth and any issues we had were addressed. Communication was via email and they were very helpful. No parking. No air conditioning.

Amazing location! Only a little disappointed that I booked a courtyard view apartment to only see another brick wall from the other building. I also had issues with delayed communication from the prop. The WiFi is non existent so don't plan to work or stream. Great recommendations though on what to see and do around the apartment.

Beautiful contemporary apartments
These are beautiful, new, spacious, well located apartments and quiet. However wifi is atrocious. Spoke to the manager about resetting it, but still barely working. Would recommend staying here, however bring your own portable wifi!

Very spacious and airy, with huge, bright windows. Excellent appliances. Comfy bed in a nice little nook. We ate breakfast there with groceries bought from the “local”Saintsbury and cooked over the snazzy induction hob. Would have appreciated a more clear cut way to recycle, tho. Loved being right across the street from the Scottish National Museum and around the corner from lots of bars band restaurants. Fantastic location. Would definitely return!

The apt drew up because it has a washer/dryer. It’s a bit basic but it’s clean and you can’t go wrong with the location.
