It’s a very clean and comfortable flat away from the chaos of the Royal Mile but close enough to walk to it. Tony, the manager is an excellent and responsive communicator. We were able to access everything by public transportation, including a trip to the lovely seaside city of Queensferry.

The apartment was clean and in a convenient location in the quartermile area. It was also quite quiet. Parking is available right across the street, you would want to book that ahead. The only issue was the shower being very slick and it took us a while to find the shower mat. Overall was a decent place to stay, and it was easy to walk to all the sites in Edinburgh.

This was a lovely apartment. A great location, close to the centre, parkland just outside, convenience store and restaurants very close by. Our only one reservation (hence loosing the fifth star) was the noise from the apartment upstairs (at night). If you're a heavy sleeper or wear earplugs I would recommend this apartment.

Pleasant Flat with Spectacular Location and View

Our check in experience was poor. Hide and go seek search for key was extremely frustrating. Flat’s location is fabulous and the view amazing. Clean and well equipped kitchen. Clean bathroom with awkward tub/shower. Very comfortable bed. Very quiet, well maintained building.

Our first visit to Edinburgh

This apartment was ideal for us to explore Edinburgh. It is in a quiet block with a lovely view so was very relaxing. The area is just a short walk from the bustling city and all the attractions so it was good to get back to the peace after a days sightseeing. The apartment is well equipped although we mainly ate out as Edinburgh has many great restaurants and cafes. Sainsbury's is very close by. Tony was very friendly and helpful and easy to contact and communicate with. We would recommend this apartment and would stay here again.

Terrific flat in Edinburgh

Absolutely loved this property. It’s the perfect size for two. We had plenty of room and appreciated all the conveniences. Bakeries, groceries and restaurants are steps away. It’s well situated in the city for walking to major sites like the Royal Mile and Grassmarket. We even walked to Waverly station to catch a train to Sterling. The immediate area, including the Meadows and the University are beautiful and full of activity. Found the management compan to be very responsive to questions and requests. We would definitely want to stay here again.

Comfortable, quiet flat just off the Meadows

This is a superb flat. Very quiet, with a bedroom window looking out over The Meadows to the south. You are mere steps off Middle Meadow Walk, so it is quick to head anywhere in the city. The kitchen is well stocked, and the bed has a comfortable mattress. Having a washing machine was so nice! There's a Sainsbury's one minute away. The caretaker was right there to meet us when we arrived, and responded quickly when we had questions later. Would certainly stay here again!

Apartment with good space, close to action, outside of tourist crush.

We were in Edinburgh for 4 nights and needed a spacious apartment in a central location. This apartment was just right for the two of us. There is plenty of room, bedroom has a wonderful view, and the kitchen had all the amenities. The building was safe and in a very good location to walk to Edinburgh sites. It is just outside the main crush of tourists yet close enough to get to things. We felt safe in the evening walking back. A very handy supermarket is must a block away. The underground parking lot is right across the street. Tony was excellent at communicating - his response to our inquiries was very good. We highly recommend this property.
