We had a really pleasant comfortable stay in this beautiful spacious well appointed flat. So easy to access restaurants bars cafes and tram for our short stay. Host was readily accessible when we had a slight and easily solved electrical problem. Would thoroughly recommend.
This accommodation was fantastic !! Clean, spacious, great area, lots of restaurants, shops, tram right outside, great access to the Royal Mile, airport etc. 100% recommend. We throughly enjoyed our stay. A
Had booked this apartment to stay in for my friends hen weekend, it was beautiful inside and very central to a number of bars / shops & food places with regular trams available to take you too the city centre. The property manager was also very communicative and answered any questions we may have had.
Nice flat with a nice, well appointed kitchen and living and dining area. Quiet. Had trouble checking in as the key didn’t work and we couldn’t reach the owner for about an hour. But after that, they were very responsive. Parking is a distance away (GPS said 14 minutes walk.) However we were able to park close by on the street.
The pictures do not do it justice! It was lovely and spacious! Kitchen beautifully appointed but the food in the area was incredible. Tacos, Ellas, pubs out of this world. There were 7 of us so, 3 bathroom sinks two showers were plenty. The only think that would have put it over the top was if it had more than one toilet but it wasn't that inconvenient
Location was good - close to tram spots and food. Couple of miles from Old Town. The mattress in the master was not very comfortable, but the other two beds were good. Be aware that parking, although free, is a mile away from the property.

When we walked into this property we were excited at the unique elegance of the interior of this flat. It was ideally located near reataurants and pubs to enjoy.
We also used the tram (5 pounds per person per day for unlimited trips) which allowed us to get to Old town Edinburgh in 3 wtops to St. Andrew square. We really enjoyed our stay and the location is great.
Fun location, in walking distance to everything you would need. Great pubs, coffee shops, grocery stores and even a place to buy dart which we were looking for. Would stay again
Perfect for a group of 5 friends. Leith is a gorgeous part of the city with loads of great places to eat, drink and shop. The location of the apartment was great for trips to Edinburgh
The location was fine with cafes and stores nearby, however I can’t imagine why it was voted 4th best neighborhood in the world. The flat was clean and spacious. One of the king size beds was very hard and not comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Parking was a 10 min walk away so not super convenient.
Really great location and beautiful, clean home. We walked to old town everyday (the tram is right outside if that’s your preference) - it’s only about a mile away. Lots of yummy restaurants and friendly people!
Family stayed for daughter’s wedding Ideal location as close to her flat. All good with flat apart from hot water tap in bathroom which requires some attention. We were not confident leaving car at Swanfield so made another arrangement. Might be better to advise guests to make their own arrangements. Otherwise an excellent place to stay for a larger group.
Place was clean, spacious, and was a wonderful place for our group of 6! Best part was the endless hot water!! A little outside of the main attractions, but overall was a wonderful place to stay
