Beautiful home in a brilliant location.This is a wonderful property in a quiet location, providing a very peaceful base to visit the historic city. Boasts a large lounge, two decent sized double bedrooms, comfy beds, and a great bathroom with walk in shower. Everything was functional, the well kitted out kitchen was a pleasant surprise, with a utility to boot. Couldn’t have really been bettered.

Property was a great central location to tour around Edinburgh. Minute walks to food, grocery stores and a gigantic park The Meadows. We were there for the REMT and was a short drive or walk to the castle. Home was bright and cheery with all the necessities.

We recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at main door, ground floor flat in Marchmont, Edinburgh.
It provided everything we could have needed or wanted from a stay. We enjoyed time in the private back garden, used the desk area as our home office and had lovely evenings cooking in the fully equipped kitchen and relaxing in the stunning living room.
The bedrooms are well proportioned and it had all the extras like hair dryers, additional towels, etc that we could have wished for.
We booked to stay again!
Thank you for the wonderful first stay.
We had a great time at this property. Karen the property manager was amazing. She quickly accommodated us for a late check in. The place was clean and so cute. The location was good. It was about a 25 minute walk to downtown or a quick Uber or cab. We did both. There ante also markets and cafes within a 5 minute walk. The apartment was so cozy and had some big beautiful front windows so we could watch it snow on our last day! Would definitely stay again if we come back!!

Disappointing
The heating was not on when we arrived about 8pm. Property manager attempted to guide us over the phone to reset the boiler and thermostat. After about an hour, we were advised that there were extra blankets available and a plumber would be around at 8am the next morning… no hot water until issue repaired. Finally, able to get system working after 10pm.
Next day after returning to home - same issue with the boiler. Had to reset yet again.
Inadvertently closed the bedroom door and were locked in. Could have been disastrous in an emergency. Finally had to ask a passerby for assistance through the window!

Ein kleiner Spaziergang zu den nächsten Restaurants ( ca. 10 Minuten ) und in die Innenstadt ( ca. 20 Minuten), dafür abends sehr ruhig. Man braucht also kein Auto. Sehr geräumig, etwas ältere Ausstattung, aber alles vorhanden.

Very nice apartment with unfortunately small mistakes
The apartment is very large with nicely cut rooms and the location is great and close to the city. Car parking is difficult, but with 10 minutes by foot still possible in long term.
Corridor and bathroom are in need of renovation and the bed mattress in the master-bedroom is really a disaster.
Due to bad painting work on all windows of the unit, they can not be opened at the moment - not a nice condition.
Living room, kitchen, the small terrace and the decor are great and compensate a bit the above mistakes.

Perfect accommodation
Spacious, warm, clean, great room layout, amenities, equipment. Just lovely to return to after a day out & about. Great kitchen: very well equipped. Loved the drying rack for laundry! Excellent location: straight forward walk via Lothian road into the CBD.
