We could not have picked a better location to base ourselves from in Edinburgh.
We felt safe and comfortable the entire time.

The flat was in a perfect location - steps away from Grassmarket and the view of Edinburgh Castle from the living room couch was amazing. The owner was great about communicating and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent storage and amenities. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept on. 100% would rebook.

A quiet apartment but very close to Castle, Grass Market and many of Edinburgh top sites. Shower is a little small but Definitely recommend.

The flat is just as pictured in the listing. We were comfortable and had plenty of space for 3 adults. One thing that would be helpful is if there were some instructions on the washer. We were unfamiliar with the settings and it took some Google searches to figure it out. Perhaps add to the check in information that is available in the flat(which was quite helpful). Otherwise, I would recommend the flat.

Had a wonderful time in Scotland. Rented a car for 9 days and toured the island Edinburgh is a difficult place to have a car. Very difficult to find a spot and if you do parking is very expensive. We had to play musical cars because this Vrbo for not have parking.
The second bedroom with the trundle bed is quit tight on space, it would sleep 3 better than 4.
The key set up was always a challenge to use. You jiggled one key and used a second to get in..
These were all issues we dealt with but had a very nice time.
This is in a great location .

Great location...within easy walking distance of the Royal Mile, shops, restaurants, etc. Paid parking is available nearby in a long-stay parking garage. We booked ahead online with Parkopedia and were able to secure a better rate.
Check-in was a bit confusing as the name of the shop, where we were told to pick up the keys, does not exist. We did some sleuthing and, after speaking with other shop owners in the general area, we were able to locate the key pick-up.
After booking the unit and paying the fees, the host told us that there was construction near the building. As it turned out, the heavy equipment construction is right outside the bedroom window. The contractors are in full swing by 7:00 a.m. so sleep-ins were not an option. The host told us that she was leaving a bottle of bubbly as compensation for the construction but no bubbly was provided.
Communication with the property manager is slow and not all that helpful. We weren't able to get the stove top working for the first day or two until the property manager got back to us. We stayed at this property for three days. In the middle of the night on the last night of our stay, my wife awoke to find that the toilet tank had ruptured. I searched around to find the water main shut off and my family mopped up as the property manager was not available to help until later in the morning.

A beautiful 2 bedroom flat. Wonderful view of the castle. Easy walk to the Royal Mile, The Scottish National Museum, and the University. One flight of stairs up and some hills around it if you've any difficulty with mobility. (No in apartment supplies really so bring all toiletries and whatnot - Tea and TP as they say!)

A lovely apartment in a great location.
The apartment was easy to find within a stone's throw of the castle. It's nicely appointed throughout with a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom.
A great base from which to explore the city and to retreat back to.

Great find in Old Town Edinburgh!
We were so happy with our stay in this beautiful, charming apartment. The location was phenomenal, walking distance to everything! The amenities were excellent! The beds were very comfortable with fluffy comforters. The bathroom was great! We loved the shower, especially the good water pressure. There was major construction going on around the property, but it started at 7:30 am and stopped by the late afternoon so it didn’t bother us at all. We definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!

A wonderful find
This apartment is in a perfect location from which to explore Edinburgh on foot and if you don't feel like walking, there are plenty of taxis around. The apartment was comfortable and spacious and had everything needed for a fantastic stay - including guidebooks. There is some building work being carried out next to the flat but if you are just needing a base, then it shouldn't bother you as the builders are only onsite during business hours. I highly recommend the flat to a couple or a family of four. An added bonus was being so near to Edinburgh Castle - the Tattoo was being held and outside we could hear the pipers' music and see the fireworks..and the French Boulangerie at the top of Grassmarket is perfect for morning croissants and afternoon pastries!

Great location, well appointed, high quality
My wife and I spent a great week in this beautiful flat that is located in the old town of Edinburgh. This was the finest AirBNB experience I have had. The location allows for walking to the major sites and great restaurants and pubs. The flat was immaculate and had all modern appliances. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. Plenty of teas to choose from. Our host was very friendly and helpful- giving us a tour of the flat and suggestions for activities and restaurant. I give this place five stars - and would give it 6 if that was an option.
