We chose to stay on the Royal Mile for our first visit to Edinburgh. Location was perfect, plenty of space, very clean. I definitely recommend this apartment.
We had an excellent stay! Shahid was kind enough to let us check in early since the property had finished being cleaned. That was really helpful for some weary travelers on the day of our arrival. The unit was spotless and comfortable. I loved the huge towels! Need to find some at home!The location can’t be beat! So easy to walk to a number of historic locations. Also very convenient to have a coffee shop right downstairs!
We went with our family and absolutely loved the property. The location could not have been better, and communication with Shahid was wonderful. We will be back.
