We loved our stay in this flat. Clean & beautiful with a lovely little garden in a quiet neighborhood. Walking distance (15min) to St. Andrew's Square & the Waverley train station. Lots of good restraunts around as well!

Very comfortable accommodation. Felt like coming home after a long day touring the city.
We did get lost finding it. Spent some time on #8 Cumberland st before being directed around the building to Cumberland lane. Our bad.

This is a pleasant property but the whole experience was ruined from the start by a problem with the heating. We were visiting Edinburgh during a cold March weekend and were only told that the heating wasn't working as we were about to open the door. An engineer apparently could only be booked for the NEXT day so we were left without heating for the first night of a two-day stay with our young nephew. We immediately asked for supply of a fan heater or a portable radiator. This request was simply ignored and it appears the host isn't even in Edinburgh so there are no real contingencies where these kind of issues take place. The only other source of heat was an electric fire which turned itself off repeatedly after a few minutes. There were communications with the host, but the ultimate response was 'feel free to give me a bad review' - so this VRBO host would rather guests have a negative experience than take concerted steps to resolve a problem. This was our first stay at a VRBO property: based on this experience it will most definitely be the last. We will be contacting VRBO and the host to obtain a refund on this stay.

The flat is spacious with comfortable beds and the kitchen is well equipped. There are some good pubs a short walk away. About a 20 minute walk to the centre of the city.

We loved the garden apartment!
The beds, living area and bathroom were all very nicely equipped and tasteful. Quiet!
Walkable, close to cafés. Thank you Gemma!

Enjoyed but have one suggestion. It rained quite a bit while we were there and it was impossible not to track some dirt in even though there was a door mat immediately inside the door that was too small. Suggest one at the foot of the first step inside.

This is a nice apartment clearly recently renovated . Access to this very old building in an historic part of town is offputting at first as through three locked doors and across a small walkway over a canal and through a tiny yard then up a VERY narrow staircase. Carry one case at a time. We feared we had made a mistake but once inside the apartment it is spacious clean and modern. One side faces a street but the bedroom is quiet and faces a courtyard. The kitchen is fine but lacks lights above the cooking area which is very dark as a result. This needs addressing. Owner communication was terrific . Location very good and you can walk everwhere including to the station

Easy walking distance to all we wanted to do downtown. Very clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. Close walk to grocery store, so longer stays that involve cooking would be no problem. Would certainly stay here again!

This flat was perfect for our stay in Edinburgh being within walking distance of many attractions. While being tucked away in a quiet private neighborhood. It was also clean & very comfortable with newly updated features. The beautiful patio space topped it off and I would love to visit it again !

We enjoyed our month and a half stay at this garden flat just at the edge of New Town and Stockbridge. The flat was well appointed, and Gemma, the manager responded quickly to any questions we had. She even sent someone over a day after we arrived to help us figure out the thermostat and the towel rack. We couldn't have been happier.

You will not be disappointed !
Prior to arrival, directions and instructions were supplied as promised, taxi from the train station to property is just under £10. When you enter the property you are greeted by a clean and cosy kitchen, however everything you may need in the kitchen is available. You then enter the lovely space of the lounge area , and work your way through the property to the bedrooms and bathroom. These were all immaculately clean, with fresh linens and towels provided. We found the overall temperature of property comfortable, and only used fire on a low setting to add glow to the room during the evening. Good information pack is available with emergency contact if needed. The location to princess street is a good steady 30 minute walk as some of it is up hill. The location was lovely and quiet. Looking forward to coming back in 2022 !

Holidays in Scotland
We traveled to Scotland from Christmas to New Years. The flat was great! Clean, spacious and well appointed. We were able to walk everywhere. There was a grocery and a pub nearby too. Loved the location.
The owner, Gemma, was a pleasure to work with. She responded quickly to all our questions. Her communication about the property and all the amenities was detailed and incredibly helpful!
Thank you!

Great location in the New Town of Edinburgh.
The flat is in a particularly great location in the New Town. Easy walks to restaurants and shops and main attractions, but in a relatively quiet area too. Flat was comfortable with all the amenities a traveller needs

Garden Flat City Centre
This flat is perfect for a city break; 15 minutes walk or a short taxi ride from Princes St gardens. Very close to Stockbridge/Dean Village if you want to avoid the usual city centre haunts. The flat itself was ideal and Gemma's communications before and during were exactly what was needed. The apartment itself is in a very quiet neighbourhood and just as decscribed in the listing

Lovely garden flat
We had a short stay in Edinburgh and wanted to stay near our past residence. We were so happy to find this flat which made us feel right at home and Gemma made everything very easy. It fit our family of four perfectly. We would happily stay here again.

Lovely apartment
This apartment was very clean, well decorated and in a quiet neighborhood. Shops and restaurants were a 5-10 minute walk. Train station was almost 15 min walk, and the Royal Mile just two min further. There is a taxi rank around the corner also, making it easy to get a taxi despite being in a quiet neighborhood. Linens and bedding were nice.

Quite side of Edinburgh
We really enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh --this place had a great location close to pubs, grocers and bus line. It was on a quiet street but the Cumberland Pub was a 2 minute walk away. Waverly station and many shops and Restaurants were a 15 minute walk away. The host provided wonderful amenities like big towels, comfy bedding and shampoos and soaps. It would be improved if there were more places to hang clothes and towels. One bedroom has no closet. There is a washer but it takes hours to do one load and no dryer. There is a local laundry near-by that was much more efficient to use.
