Great location
Great apartment with everything you need. A bit noisy at night due to very central location and having windows open as was very warm when there.

A lovely Six Nations weekend
Went up with three friends to watch the six nations. The property was lovely and as described and had all the amenities you need. Instructions for check in/out were very clear and easy to follow. All in all made our weekend fantastic due to its incredibly convenient location. I myself was late in asking for an hour late checkout and was accommodated for very kindly by Derek. Will be looking for this flats availability next year - thanks for a great stay!

Perfect spot for New Year
We absolutely loved the flat, and the location was absolutely perfect. The views from the windows were incredible in such an iconic part of the city. The flat is much bigger than we anticipated and had everything we needed for our stay, including nice touches like Scottish fudge and shortbread, and we were really impressed with the value for money especially given the location. Would definitely recommend staying here!

"As a family we have used self catering properties around the world for our own holidays and know how important it is to make sure that when you arrive you are not disappointed with your choice of holiday accommodation. The two main areas of disappointment that we have found are location and standard!

The apartments that we offer are situated in Edinburgh's no 1 historic tourist street being the Royal Mile and Grassmarket areas. Our apartments are maintained and cleaned to a very high standard exactly as we would want to find ourselves when going on holiday.

We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh.
