Wonderful- spacious and convenient location

We loved the 5 min easy access to the tram. Also loved the spaciousness and modern kitchen and bathrooms. Large kitchen table was fun for family games after a full day of sightseeing and the family room had very comfortable seating. The apartment was well equipped with all of the amenities we needed. Instructions and communication from our host, Edele, was excellent.

Excellent base for visiting Edinburgh

We have walked all around this magical city. The apartment is clean and bright. We each have our own ‘space’ to escape to after these long days of looking at castles, monuments, museums & parks. I would definitely come back to this apartment. Thanks Edele!

Lovely flat

The flat is large. We had six people in our party and we had plenty of space. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were spacious. Kitchen was well equipped. About a 15 minute walk to new town and a 25 walk to old town. Bus service is also available close to the flat. Edele was great at communicating with us throughout the process.

Edele went above and beyond

Since the first day I scheduled this booking, Edele was very communicative. She provided clear instructions and was there when we arrived to greet us and show us the property.This unit is fully equipped, perfect for a family with all the amenities you will need to feel at home. It is conveniently situated and in a safe neighborhood. I felt at peace walking on my own from Edinburgh Castle to this unit. I highly recommend it.On a separate note, I would like to personally thank Edele because she went above and beyond coordinating a small delivery I needed to get to Edinburgh prior to my arrival. She was extremely helpful.

Family Rugby Weekend

The property is very spacious and spotlessly clean. Loads of room for six people. It was lovely to meet our host Edele who was welcoming and helpful. It is located in a quiet area but short walking distance to a variety of restaurants and tram/bus stops. There is a supermarket a two minute walk away. We would definitely book here again.

We had a nice stay at Edele her place. Had good contact when we could arrive and/or place the bags. Same with leaving, there were no guests after us so we could leave the bags in her app because we had a late night flight.The rooms were very nice and clean.
