We had a very enjoyable stay at Edele’s apartment. Edele was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had, and she even met us at the property to give us a tour. The apartment is in a nice, quiet area and has everything you could possibly need. Thank you for a wonderful first time in Edinburgh!

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.

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.

Spacious, clean and well located home

We stayed at this property for my son’s graduation. The apartment was larger than I realised from the photos and walking distance to New Town (we got a taxi to the graduation). The property was clean and comfortable and I wished we’d spent longer in it. Communication with Edele was great when we had any questions.

Amazing stay

Edele’s apartment exceeded our expectations in every way. As this was our first family trip to Scotland, with kids ranging from 5-15, we were looking for a home that was spacious, comfortable, convenient and with important amenities (AC, washer/dryer, well stacked kitchen, etc.). All boxes were checked and more! The location was also impeccable as we were a very short walk to markets, restaurants and Edinburgh city center itself. We had a rental car so the included parking came in handy. Our Scotland trip created many memories, with staying at Edele’s place being part of that. We will be back!

Spacious and comfortable, hostess was wonderful

5 adults stayed here comfortably in this spacious, attractive and conveniently located flat. It is fully appointed and the 2 bathrooms were beautiful and sufficient for a small group. The hostess, Edele, went out of her way to provide an orientation and information about the neighborhood and local transit. There was a small glitch with us not knowing how the electrical switches work in Scotland and Edele promptly came over and solved the issue. She was welcoming and in touch. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this lovely flat for a stay in Edinburgh!

Very inviting, clean, comfortable apartment.

Edele is a wonderful host. A week before our stay, she emailed loads of information about the apartment and the area. Her directions to the apartment were accurate, making the place easy to find. The place was very clean with enough room for 5 adults and a teenager. Walking to the Royal Mile was uphill but not overly strenuous. The tram construction on Leith Walk was a bit of a nuisance but can't be avoided. There are many local restaurants and some deliver. One note about the washing machine - it's a single washer/dryer. It washes quickly but doesn't dry clothes like we are used to in the States. We hung up the clothes and they took 1-2 days to dry depending on the material. We highly recommend Edele's apartment.
