My husband and I stayed in this spacious flat for 4 weeks. The location of the flat is fantastic. It is ½ block from the Royal Botanic Gardens and right on the 3 main bus lines that service a large section of Edinburgh. It is very easy to walk to several access points to the lovely paths along the Water of Leith. It is an easy walk to Stockbridge and not very far to walk up to New Town or over to Old Town. The apartment has a very well appointed kitchen with plenty of cooking tools and a roomy eating area. We were able to cook up a large American Thanksgiving feast in the flat. The view from the living area and main bedroom is of Calton Hill, Arthur’s seat and part of Old Town. The sunrise and sunsets are incredible. The beds were comfortable (if a bit soft) and the comforters were very warm. We had a snafu about halfway through our stay when the boiler started to give out and we didn’t have reliable heat or hot water for a few days. James (the landlord) was very quick to get an emergency plumber out and after a few visits from the plumber, the flat now has a brand new boiler. If you want to be close to all the action in the city but live in a more tranquil area you can’t go wrong with this flat.

We encountered mice on the kitchen counters throughout our three-week stay. The presence of bait traps indicates this is an ongoing problem. We reported the problem to both the host and VRBO. The host promised to send an exterminator to address the mice problem, but no one ever came. VRBO was difficult to contact and did nothing despite their “Book with Confidence” guarantee. The housekeeping is dreadful and likely contributes to the mice problem. We had to dispose of some left over food that we found in the cupboards. We spent time cleaning the mold out of the washer before putting our clothes in. There were greasy cooking sheets covered with fat drippings in the oven. On the first night in the unit, the duvet on the primary bed smelled of urine. The host did have a replacement duvet and pillows delivered. The bedding and furniture are worn. The double mattress on the primary bed desperately needs to be replaced. It was so saggy that my spouse had to move to the twin bed in the back bedroom to sleep for the three weeks we were in the unit. Additionally, the living room sofa has been overused and is in need of replacement. Although outside the purview of the owner, the building's entry and stairs to the unit are dark and dirty making us feel unsafe. The view in the distance of Arthur's Seat and the skyline of Edinburgh combined with the ongoing activities in Warriston playfield across the street were redeeming features of the apartment. The location near the Botanic Gardens was good. Based on our experiences, we would not recommend staying here.

Warm, comfortable and clean flat with a fantastic view! A real home from home. Convenient for buses into town and a supermarket nearby. We really enjoyed our long weekend in Edinburgh and we would recommend this flat as a great place to stay.

This VRBO flat is comfortable and well-maintained, and we enjoyed our two-week stay there very much. Because we like to walk and use public transportation, the location was perfect. Within 1/2 block is a bus stop with 3 routes to the City Center.(Helpful hint: an all day bus pass good for all city buses costs 4 pounds which is only 60p more than 2 one-way tickets.) Using our passes, we could ride any route, or various routes, to see more of the city than the usual highlights. From the the flat to Stockbridge is an easy 20 minute walk, and from Princes Street to the flat is a pleasant, downhill walk. The East Gate entrance to the Royal Botanical Gardens is 1/2 block away and is free, and we visited it several times. Another advantage is that less than a 15 minute walk on a pedestrian/bicycle path takes one to the TESCO Supermarket, making it easy to cook in for meals in the roomy, eat-in kitchen. From that kitchen window is the view of the natural, stone-walled backyard, still blooming with flowers. From the living room window, there is a view of Calton Hill, which beckoned us to walk there too, not so easy, but worth it! We hated to leave this beautiful city and this home-away-from-home flat!

We had a wonderful stay at your flat in Edinburgh. It was very close to the city centre and the view from window was lovely. All the amenities were provided right down to the universal adapters. Four of us stayed and there was loads of room. We especially enjoyed the gas fireplace when you come in from the damp. The neighbors were friendly and helpful when I needed to pre-book a taxi. We would definitely recommend staying in this flat. On the negative side: - TV was advertised, TV was present but you could only watch Netflix - we found the lighting to be dim in the bathroom and the hallway as well as the entry stairwell in the early morning - we found a soiled diaper in the corner of the side table in the master bedroom and an empty liquor bottle under the master bed; definitely not a thorough cleaning before our arrival. The negatives do not outweigh the positives. We enjoyed our time in Edinburgh and will most certainly be coming back!
