The apartment is quite nice (as pictured), very clean and comfortable. Location on Royal Mile is excellent - only drawback is the noise (complete with bagpipes). Fortunately, bedrooms are at the back, away from the street. Narrow, winding stairs up to the apartment could be an issue for elderly or very young, but no problem otherwise. A couple of fans would be nice for more comfortable sleep on warm summer nights. Overall, an excellent apartment, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The property was pretty much perfect! The stairs up to the flat were not so easy with 50lb suit cases, which was totally our fault for over packing. Everything you could need was there for cooking. The space was clean and simple. The shower was great, just push a button to turn on and the temp was perfect. It would get a bit warm in there but it was mid July. Just open the windows and in 10 minutes it was nice and cool. You are just steps from all the life of Edinburgh. I hope to rent this property again in the future.

Great Apartment

Great place with everything you need. Location is good in that it's close to everything, but can be loud. One night we had people partying in the alley behind the until from 2-4 a.m. Was very loud. THen a couple fought for a while yelling at each other until the fellow gave up and stormed off because "he just couldn't deal with her right now." Sounded like they were in my room. NOt a great night's sleep. THat's just part of staying right on the Royal Mile I suppose.

Excellent stay

Perfect location in the center of the Royal Mile, half way between the castle and the palace. Very nice flat with great appliances and well stocked. Having the washer and dryer for clothes was a big plus. It was unusually hot during our stay, but there were fans available for use in both bedrooms. The back room faces a quiet private courtyard, the middle room faces an alley and pub which was noisy one night. The flat stays surprisingly quiet despite being on the Royal Mile. There is one flight of stairs. It’s an old spiral staircase, but was not a problem for us. After you collect the keys, turn 180 degrees and enter through the small metal gate, do not enter through the large metal gate as we did. Overall, a wonderful place, and I hope to stay here again. Thank you!

If you want to be at the hub of everything Edinburgh has to offer, choose this flat. The bedrooms are on the courtyard, so even though the living area faces one of the busiest streets in the city, you can sleep quietly. The kitchen is well stocked, too.

Perfect location

This flat is in the ideal location to explore the Royal mile, and is very close to the train station. Just know it is an uphill climb from Waverly! The flat is gorgeous and comfortably appointed, and we enjoyed opening our front windows to the fun of High street in the evenings and got to see a dance group and hear bagpipes. We’ll stay again, for sure!

Perfect Location

Smooth check in process, perfect location, well stocked kitchen. We loved our stay here. The windows open right on to royal Mile nice to sit and sip coffee and watch the hustle and bustle while baby catches on nap. As mentioned in other reviews circular stairway definitely makes it a bit of challenge to haul the baggage up or down but that's true for most places on royal Mile and we were okay with it since everything else was perfect for us. The WiFi was spotty the first 2 days and could not connect to it from bedroom so if you are solely relying on WiFi you need to always be in living room.

Perfect place, perfect host, perfect location

If you want to truly be in the heart of Old Town Edinburgh, feel the charm and the vibe, but enjoy modern amenities in a lovely flat literally overlooking the Royal Mile, this should be atop your list. Our two-night stay kicked off our time in Scotland, and it could not have been a better beginning. Host was very quick to reply to inquiries, helpful and professional. Place was more than tidy, cute, and welcoming. We loved it - and we think you would, too.

Incredible spot!

So it's hard to believe how magical this place was!!!!! Spacious, close to everything actually in the middle of everything but I never felt on display. Our little gate and stairwell was very private. The stairs were pretty serious but we managed our heavy luggage up and down fine. The bed was super comfortable. The "fireplace"(heater) was fun. Our host was wonderful. Oh and right next door had wonderful coffee! I highly recommend!!!

The owner is very friendly and responsive. The unit had a washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave and most of all the shower had endless hot water. The location was perfect; however, the stairs are not easy, (I am 78) but that is what is to be expected for that part of the city. Overall, the apartment was clean and coinvent and we were pleased.

Excellent location, host and unit

Wonderfully location in the middle of the Royal Mile. Can walk to everything. Easy bus ride from airport to Waverly station and 10-12 minute walk. Easy checkin/get key. Yes the stairs are a bit steep and circular but a non issue for us. Unit is perfect for 4 people. Beds were super comfortable. Grocery store around the corner. We loved having the windows open to hear the bagpipes and hustle and bustle.

Nice property, located in heart of Royal Mile

This is a nice, clean property located right in the heart of Royal Mile. We stayed there during the Fringe and it was really quite the experience being in the thick of everything. During the day it was loud from the street performers, but even the Fringe calms down at night, and the back bedrooms are quiet (though we did have trouble twice with noise from people in the alley in the early morning hours). The apartment is on the smaller side; we were a family of 4 and it was a bit cramped with the 1 bathroom. It is up one steep curving flight of stairs, but we didn't have trouble getting our luggage up and down. The owner was very responsive and went above and beyond to help me accept delivery of a package that came during our trip.

Royal mile experience

Great place to stay while in Edinburgh. Location was fantastic in the middle of the old town area. It was a challenge taking up suitcases two floors using a spiral staircase but we managed. The key system is a little tricky but no problem after we understood it. Never did figure out how to let guests in with a buzzer? We definitely would like to rent again. Owner is very easy to deal with. We still give it 5 stars.
