We loved this home. It is well located in Grass Market; close to all amenities and highlights. The hosts include lots of small items which are so important to your comfort; paper towels, sugar, laundry soap, etc. The home is clean and bed is comfy. We will return.

What a great location!

What a great location and lovely apartment! Everything we needed was included and we loved being able to walk to everything including dinner at Howie’s and Bertie’s, up the hill to the Royal Mile and the cemetery on the other side. The apartment was so well appointed that we needed nothing for quick meal prep and clean up even down to the body wash and a little olive oil and laundry pods! Thanks so much for a wonderful time in Edinburgh and we would definitely recommend to others.

Great location!

We had a wonderful stay in Edinburgh. Fiona was great with communication prior to our arrival. I was a little confused as how to get into the flat, but I was able to call and she helped me get in with no problems. I would recommend this flat to any person or couple looking to stay in the heart of Edinburgh.

We had a great stay in this perfect location at the base of Victoria Street, the most photographed street in Edinburgh (so I hear). We spent 10 days there and it felt very comfortable with easy access to Old Town. Would definitely stay here again.

Edinburgh Gem in Grass Market

Could not ask for a better location in all of Edinburgh as Grass Market is where you want to be. The Apartment itself as well as communication is as good as it gets, and we've rented several throughout Europe over the years. If you are looking for a full-size Apartment equipped with everything you need, look no further than less beautiful Apartment. We would rent it again in a heartbeat. We were there for 6 days and had a great time in this wonderful city. Thanks Fiona for all your help.

Beautiful, large and well equipped apartment in old town Edinburgh. This is a perfect location to explore Edinburgh by foot and see all the sites. There are lots of great restaurants and stores just outside the flat but it is tucked away in a little alcove just off the main street so it is also pretty quiet as well. We highly recommend this apartment.

About the host

Hosted by Fiona

Host profile image
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 many 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

Why they chose this property

It's a beautiful mix between modern and traditional. A historic 200 year old building with all the luxury of modern living! I love that the apartment is right in the city centre and that you can experience all the buzz of the city by foot.
