The owner was so flexible and great with communication! There is a bus stop right outside the property where you can catch a bus straight into city centre! It made traveling into Edinburgh easy and cost effective. There’s also parking right behind the property which was super convenient for our rental car. We didn’t want to drive in Edinburgh so this location was perfect! I wish the mattresses were a bit more comfortable but that’s because I have a bad back. Would absolutely stay here again.

Hi Dana, it has been a pleasure to host you. The mattresses are hortopedic, in the main bed is medium firm and in the second bedroom a strong firm. Probably too firm for your back. Thank you for having left the apartment so clean. R

This is a sweet little flat. So close to the water and a number of pubs and places to eat. Easy access to city buses - so easy to use and very affordable. About 10 minutes by bus to the center of Edinburgh & Royal mile. Flat was clean and comfortable. Shops close by for snacks, wine, etc. a few hiccups with the WiFi and internet but it eventually got sorted! A great place to stay!

Nice Quiet Spot Outside of Ediburgh

We had a great stay at this apartment in Newhaven. It was so nice to be walking distance from the ocean and to leave the hustle and bustle of busy Edinburgh behind for quiet restful evenings. It was an easy tram ride into the city. The apartment itself was great and Roberta was a very helpful and generous host.

Quaint and Convenient

We had a marvelous stay at the flat in Newhaven. The location is great and conveniently close to restaurants and the Asda store, in addition to the harbor. It was clean and had all the needed amenities. Roberta was very kind and helpful. She provided assistance when needed and great tips for sightseeing. .We really enjoyed our time in Edinburgh.

Lovely Little Apartment

Roberta is an excellent hostess and her place Ins quite lovely! Perfect spot to enjoy your stay in Edinburgh…far enough from hustle/bustle but close enough to everything. Especially wonderful if you don’t have a vehicle…easy access to the tram and local bus system… and easy walking distance to shopping, restaurants, spa/gym, and lovely sights. Thank you Roberta!

Roberta was wonderful, and easy to communicate with. the place was exactly what we needed, and comfortable. Only glitch for us was that there was a washer, but the radiators were the dryers- the machine did not do double duty. But we are familiar with this process (have radiators at home) and everything worked fine. The placement of the home made for an incredible view for walking- with the ocean, pier, and harbor; it was easy to pick up the bus and a tram! There was even a mall and grocery a short walk away. I have a bad knee, but I was able to make it. Enjoyed the walk back with the groceries tho- that is not on the apartment, just the lifestyle!- and it was one that we appreciated. If we come back again, I will look for Roberta, and at securing this apartment again, easily.

Peaceful, cute, cozy home

My daughters and I really enjoyed our stay in Roberta’s cottage. It’s in a quiet area but the tram up Leith walk to downtown Edinburgh or on to Murrayfield stops a block and a half away. Communication with Roberta was fast and easy. Thank you, Roberta, for not gouging us during the T Swift weekend, too. We highly recommend staying here.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Amenities, communication

We appreciated that the flat was well equipped with everything you need in daily life. A range of basic groceries was provided, too. Super markets, tram/ bus stops and restaurants are only a stone‘s throw away, which was great. Even though our host made sure the flat was well cleaned and we had windows opened whenever possible, a smell of mildew and chlorine cleaner was ever-present. Especially clothes worn at night picked-up the mould. That is why we would not stay there again (especially not with small children and not for > £330 / night in super high demand season), unless the flat has been properly refurbished.

Old port charm

We stayed 3 nights at Roberta’s place. The location is quiet and easy to find via bus or tram. There is a charming pier-like area really close with restaurants and bars. The center is about 20 minutes away by bus. The apartment was very clean and Roberta left many personal touches for us as guests. We were happy to have a washing machine and a big clothesline outside (and lucked out with a sunny day to dry things). The apartment was a bit smaller than we expected but it worked fine for the 4 of us. Roberta was excellent at communicating and very helpful and friendly! Fair value for sure!

Clean, pleasant, in peaceful neighborhood

Spouse and I stayed here 3 nights with our 2 year old. The surrounding community with the fisherman cottage homes was lovely and a world away from the tourism-and-shops of other parts of EDI. The waterfront right there is nice, the nearby ASDA is a store for all your needs, and of course the tram gets you into town. We wished we had explored Starbank Park nearby. Communication with Roberta was excellent. She let us drop our luggage while she cleaned, since we arrived a bit early. Provided a cot for our little one and chatted with us about the neighborhood. I think the only thing we didn't care for was how hot the shower got. It was tricky to keep it in a reasonable range. Rishi's indian restaurant, around the corner, is fabulous, a perfect way to welcome yourself to Edinburgh. They treated our little one like royalty and kept her entertained, although she was jet lagged.

Hi Danny, thank you for your review. I am happy you had a good time. I will decrease a bit the water temperature, there is a tank and keeping high so guests never go out of hot water. I hope to host you again in the future.

Perfect for us

We loved our “get away” apartment in Edinburgh. It is located literally across the street from the water and seconds from the bus stop, which we used many times since the apartment is not centrally located. The bus system is great. We “old” folks who are not as adept at using phone apps as our younger friends, still found the bus and tram app accurate and user friendly. Also, the drivers are very helpful. The #16 takes you directly downtown and back. Soon, we were old pros. The apartment itself is efficient and well stocked with linens and kitchen supplies although we never cooked. (The Pier House restaurant across the street is excellent for both breakfast and dinner. We ate there several times.) There is a tiny, but well stocked grocery store for basics (no fresh meat, limited produce) including a post office about a block or two from the apartment in the direction opposite the water. Uphill all the way. Neighborhood is quiet. Roberta was easy to contact and very receptive to our needs and questions. My husband injured his foot the first night we were there and Roberta was very kind and helpful. If you are looking for a quiet retreat away from all the hustle and bustle of downtown, this is your place.
