Very nice apartment. Clean and roomy with updated bathrooms and well supplied kitchen. Small glitch as lockbox was not near entryway, but was resolved sufficiently.
We had a great stay here. Would highly recommend. The flat is well appointed and very comfortable. Location is fantastic and you can easily walk to Edinburgh Castle and Hollyrood Palace. Dealing with the property manager was great from booking to checking out very helpful and friendly. If we ever get back this way I would not hesitate to book here again.
Great location to walk to all that the Royal Mile has to offer, yet far enough to remain quiet. Be sure to frequent the Tollbooth Tavern, which is a mere 400 feet away!

Thanks for your positive feedback. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for being such good guests and observing all the house rules!
The apartment was as advertised. Very clean, great shower, comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. The location was very convenient and the property manager was quick to respond. Highly recommended.
We were celebrating an 80th birthday. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and warm. The well equipped kitchen and dining area made eating in a pleasure and yet there is plenty of choice close by for dining out.The position also meant we were close to all attractions, station and bus routes. A wonderful place.
We stayed five days and had a great time. It was easy getting wherever we wanted: walking the Royal Mile, getting to the train station or tram or just wandering the small side streets. The ground floor flat was far enough off the Mile as to be quiet and the listing was accurate. Beds were comfortable and the living room was great for relaxing after a busy day. The flat is at the quiet end of the Mile, but there are lots of great places to eat and drink within a 5 minute walk. Communication was very good and attentive. Overall a great flat and stay.
This unit was located a block off of the Royal Mile and two blocks from the train station, and 3 blocks from the tram that took us back to the airport. Pleasantly surprised! It had 3 full baths, very comfortable bedrooms, and good sized living room and a very nice kitchen fully stocked! We used the washing machine several times - and dried our clothes on the drying racks. All told, we were very happy with the place.
This is a very nice flat and it is very convenient to Edinburgh sites. You walk just a few hundred feet and you are at the Old Tolbooth on the royal mile. It’s also in a very quiet neighborhood - we slept very well here! Parking is provided, although we didn’t use it.
The check in process was so simple thanks to the detailed email, including photos! The welcome binder was also so helpful! The location is great! Right off the Royal Mile, close to restaurants and shopping. Highly recommended
Lovely house close to the Royal Mile. It has 3 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms which was great. The property manager called me to check everything was good and they were responsive on email as well.
Great access to Royal Mile. Washer/dryer was too tricky to figure out (the dryer function may not have worked). There were lots of key boxes - so pay careful attention to instructions on how to find the right one. Thanks for great stay.
Thank you for a lovely stay. The bathroom in the first bedroom on the left seems to have leak near shower on the wood trim. Everything else was perfect. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Appreciated the clothes drying rack. Fabulous location. Thank you !
