Our stay was absolutely lovely! The host was so helpful and organized. The apartment was beautiful and very clean. It made a great home base for a few days in Edinburgh for a family trip. We would come back in a heartbeat!
The Penthouse was exactly as described and more! The view was spectacular and the accommodations were perfect for us and very clean. Fiona was awesome with all her information and answered all our questions with details. The location was perfect for us. It was a wonderful stay!
We had an amazing stay. So much so we came back for additional days. This property is everything a VRBO should be, clean, good location, good layout/bedrooms and a very friendly host.
This place was even better than the pictures. Fiona have great instructions and the location was perfect. This place was the biggest reason our trip to Edinburgh for the first time was perfect.
A nice apartment 15 mins walk from Waverley, clean and comfortable, a decent view - we had a great time!

As noted in my review, this is a very nice penthouse in a nice location. We were 5 adults and the 3 bathrooms definitely were a plus. The owner was soooo helpful to us both arriving and leaving. Her pamphlet in the flat was also full of useful information. I will stay here next time my family is in Edinburgh. P Sundermier, Salem, Oregon
We would 100% recommend this property for your stay in Edinburgh. Beautifully decorated and centrally located for any and all activities in the city. Fiona was a most excellent host before and during our stay. Book this today-you will not be disappointed.
Excellent location close to the tram line with easy access to all of Edinburgh’s highlights.
Great views from the balcony for a relaxing glass of wine at the end of the day and some lovely personal touches from the host such as a nice box of shortbread on arrival.
Looking forward to the next visit!
The penthouse is charming, comfortable and convenient. The queen sized beds were just fine, and the kitchen was very well appointed. The elevator was a must for us older types who wouldnt have been able to carry our luggage up that far. There is so much to see and do, three days were not enough. We may have to return!
Well appointed with amazing natural light throughout. Washing machine is excellent and spins clothes dryer than most actual dryers. Location is fantastic - walkable to everything. Appreciated the parking availability as well.
The flat was very clean and comfortable The building was very quiet too. Kitchen was well stocked, nice touches like some essentials in the fridge for when we arrived. Our host was very communicative and easy to work with. Probably the best guest info book I've seen with clear instructions and helpful tips. We had a truly lovely stay.
This was a wonderful property for us to decompress after a hectic couple of weeks of touring the wonders on Northern Scotland. We did spend two nights in the crowded chaotic Edinburgh town centre and it was so nice to get to this spacious apartment, close to all necessary amenities but with out the crowds. I felt sorry for the people below us, as even tho we tried to be quiet, the floors were pretty squeaky!
We were 5 ladies together.. lots space to spread out..great amenities..great location..able to walk to Royal Mile..Fiona left lots of info on restaurants..definitely recommend.
So impressed with the space and views from this apartment. Fiona was very responsive to any questions we had. Restaurants and shops were a short walk. And sleeping at night was so comfortable and quiet. Highly recommend!
Fiona’s place is a gem! The location is great, it’s spacious, clean and well appointed and communication with Fiona was easy. We loved everything about her space! Would love to return.
As advertised. I appreciate that everything was superbly clean. Very spacious flat.
Love the balcony and a great view of the sunset! Location was within walking distance of restaurants. Fiona was a great host!

About the host
Hosted by Fiona
I am a working mother living in Edinburgh! I grew up in Aberdeen in Scotland and have since lived and travelled in Azerbaijan, Australia and Finland. I've now been back in Scotland and in this fantastic city for just over 3 years, and I can really say that Edinburgh feels like our home. There are so many hidden places to discover in (and around) Edinburgh, it constantly surprises me even after years of living here.
I look forward to sharing this beautiful city with you. :D
