This was the most incredible property. It was around the corner from the Royal Mile; perfect location. The flat itself was incredible. Spotless. Modern. Fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, dishes, knives, etc.) and state of the art appliances (including a microwave). There were hair dryers in each bathroom. Linens and beds comfy. Management super responsibe!! The only slight hassle is having to pick up the key at another location, which is not that close, especially if you have a lot of luggage. It meant two stops with the taxi. But, this was the best property I have ever stayed at.

The location is perfect for visiting the castle, the museum of Scotland and local attractions. You can easily walk to most places. There is one steep hill if you arrive by train. We took a taxi from the train to the apartment since we had our luggage. They only offer instant coffee here. No true coffee pot. Only a water tea/coffee pot for hot water. We soon found a Starbucks to get a decent coffee. Yes, we do enjoy our morning coffee. Overall this is a great location. We enjoyed our visit.

Lovely spacious apartment, well-maintained and clean. Disappointed that the TV sound system seemed not to work so the TV was pretty poor. Had to replace bulbs in two side lamps in the sitting room. Kitchen could do with some more baking trays and tins for people like us who like to cook at home. Some basic store cupboard ingredients would also have been appreciated, as, when one staying for 3 nights, one doesn't want to have to do a full shop. Eg. No kitchen roll, only one tea-towel, no oven gloves. A welcome hamper of at least a bottle of water and a pint of milk etc. would also be a nice idea. Very odd that you have to collect the keys from a key box tied to a lamp-post some distance away - and not ideal when arriving with heavy suitcases. Management should look at these suggestions to make guests's stays a little more comfortable.
That said, the apartment is ideally located and very comfortable for a short break.

This Apartment was awesome and was a block off Royal Mile. The management office was a few blocks from apartment. The only criticism, the property has no parking and the nearest parking garage is approx 1/4 mile away.

Great place to catch the Tattoo - also close to the Royal Mile, Oldtown, and just a quick walk to Newtown. Would stay here again.

An absolute pleasure staying there. Just note that although its a short walk from Waverly, its hill-y. Id highly recommend taking a taxi if you have luggage. Loved my stay there and loved the viewing!!

Great apartment! Very comfortable. Perfect location for sightseeing in Edinburgh. A bit noisy in the evenings due to it being above a bar, but still very nice in every other way.

Very clean in a great location, right around the corner from the Royal Mile. Check-in is a bit unusual as you have to open a lockbox attached to a parking sign outside the building, but all went just fine. Would recommend to anyone wanting to be near all of the action, as well as the castle.

If you need just a shower and a place to crash (with a nice view) somewhere central (beware weekend noise from passing all-night revellers, from street) this place is fine. However, It feels clinical and cold (metaphorically and physically); bedrooms heat up eventually but not main room (or bathroom - towel radiator not working) because ceilings are v high and there are no rugs, no curtains/blinds or homely touches/few soft furnishings in the living space. Basic pans & crockery (no dishes to cook in) . Few helpful provisions ie only a couple of tea bags and S&P (no oil, honey/sugar, coffee, flour, basic dried herbs/spices). Have stayed in equally central but more comfortable, well resourced Edinburgh homes than this one, with personal service of the owner rather than business run, find on another well known site (no lock box for keys at the property itself).

A beautiful, bright, spacy apartment within walking distance of everywhere. Two double bedrooms with comfy beds which we will sleep more in next time! I stayed here for the Fringe festival with my two daughters. great location, easy to find, secure, and while in a busy area, the building was quiet so we got to rest after each day walking a lot. Great kitchen which sadly we never used as we ate out all the time. Host was easy to reach and kept in touch with us. Perfect.Will definitely return!
