Location great- walking distance of everything. One drawback on a Friday/Saturday night loud as next to a Pub, as late loud drunks. Cars driving over cobblestones right outside window. Sunday on is ok. Loved the Pub BTW - Salt Horse This place needs some love - others commented on the entrance once in door (with Graffiti) IT IS filthy!!! Sharp staircase to other flats. Carpet inside gross - Furniture needs updating. Couch is hard- when sitting on one part you are literally sitting on a board. Someone sitting on it quickly could get hurt. Beds are similar - pillows flat. Toilet in Master bedroom sounds like a Fog Horn when flushing - could not flush at night at all - too loud. Several used half rolls of TP. Half a roll of paper towels in kitchen. That was ALL for 4 days. Master bedroom had one of three light bulbs working in chandelier. We tried screwing the other two in and it was like the Bates Motel with both bulbs flashing off and on. We had to unscrew again as I’m sure the guests before us did. I have pictures if need be. Kitchen is nice, large fridge/dishwasher,washing machine included. Did feel safe even with the entrance,.

The street noise was a bit loud at night in the front bedrooms but that’s the only issue. Put the light sleeper in the back bedroom or take earplugs. Great location, and we loved the graffiti out front.

The location was convenient, but the furniture was falling apart and the beds very uncomfortable. Overall, a bit shabby. Just a little upgrade would make a big difference.

My husband, daughter and I were very pleased with our stay. Very clean, charming, and roomy. This location is close to many shops, pubs, restaurants, and busy areas to explore. The coffee shop next door is a fabulous “go to” in the morning. We all felt comfy and at home when we were done with our day. I recommend!

We had a wonderful four nights in Edinburgh in August 2023. The apartment has an awesome location, just one block from High Street, and easy walks to numerous attractions and services in town. The apartment was big enough for the four of us to share the space easily. Appliances, electrical and plumbing worked fine. Street noise was not a problem, even during festival season. Unfortunately, we had two significant disappointments: First, the bed in the main bedroom was in pretty bad shape. It had a broken frame and a bad mattress. We made-do with some strategically placed pillows, but we would expect a decent bed. (The second bed was acceptable, and we never tried the third.) Second, the provided wifi had a very poor bandwidth - just 2.5 Mbps. I now see the listing doesn't promise "high-speed internet," but the wifi was pretty useless at such low speed. Lesser disappointments: Numerous scuffs and dings on surfaces and furniture throughout the apartment. Barely-enough plates and glasses in the kitchen. And, despite the property being generally clean, there were dingy corners throughout - it could benefit from a "deep clean." Like other reviewers, we wished the building's shared hallways could be spiffed up. But ultimately this wasn't much of a bother. Would we go again? We would definitely go back for the location and general apartment size and amenities. But we would want good beds and faster internet.

First impression from the outside is not good, with the tattoo shop signs and graffiti, but in fairness this is clear from the images in the listing. The entry hall and stairwell are equally basic but this is a traditional Edinburgh tenement so really all part of the experience. Once inside the apartment it is exactly as described, spacious, light, comfortable and well equipped (though, for potentially 7 people, a few more items of crockery and glassware and a lock for the shared bathroom door would have been appreciated). Most important, though, it proved to be a fantastic base for my wife and me, our daughter, son in law and two teenage grandchildren. The location could not be bettered, just off the Royal Mile equidistant from the Castle and Holyrood halfway down the short hill between the Mile and Cowgate so providing easy access to all the main Edinburgh attractions and restaurants. We had a super few days and would strongly recommend the apartment to any family group.
