Best Place in Edinburgh

The unit is amazing and so is the host. The view of the castle is spectacular and the location puts you in walking distance to everything. It is extremely well equipped with appliances, amenities, and extras, showing the host wants her guests to enjoy their stay. She is very communicative and goes out of her way to make you feel welcome.

Perfect First Trip To Edinburgh

My wife and I visited Edinburgh for the first time during a long overdue vacation. The apartment was perfect for us. It was close to all the main sights with wonderful views of the castle. Maureen was very helpful and made it easy for us to check in after a long trip. Overall, we really enjoyed our time staying at the apartment. It was clean with charming updates and furniture, a nice kitchen, and a comfortable, cozy bed. We would highly recommend!

Impeccable

This suite was of highest quality in our view. Clean, organized, well described with great amenities. We appreciated the treats. Maureen was extremely helpful and resourceful. The only small downside, out of the owner’s control is the noisy street below.

Beautiful apartment well located

This lovely, modern apartment was very comfortable and well stocked. It is located wihin walking distance of Edinburgh's most famous sites. Maureen, the host, was so helpful and friendly. She met us upon arrival and was available when needed. The apartment is on the fourth floor and has a lift for ease of access. Because it's on the top floor, you have a wonderful view of Edinburgh Castle from the bedroom and living room windows. We loved our two week stay and would definitely stay here again in the future.

Maureen couldn’t have been a better host. She met us at the property, provided many additional unexpected amenities, and helped us with learning the TV. This property is so clean and modern, it was easy to relax in. Also, so close to everything we wanted to see and experience. Located in the city, city noise is to be expected as in any city. We would stay here again, for sure. Cheers

Great location; Immaculate Apartment

The apartment's location allowed for easy access to the Royal Mile. Many dining options in the area. Unexpected and very much appreciated extras included fresh flowers, fruit, milk, tea and coffee. Maureen met us at the apartment to welcome us and explain everything. Communication via text was easy. The king size bed was the most comfortable bed we had on our GB trip! I highly recommend this apartment. It was perfect for us.

We had an excellent stay at this location. Maureen was such a wonderful host. Communication was easy and timely. She directed us to the nearest carpark and we were able to walk over to meet her for check-in without any problem. The apartment itself had many incredibly thoughtful amenities that made it feel cozy and homey. The location was great -- we were able to walk to so many places in the city or hop on a train. We would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Amazing location to walk to the Royal Mile (15-20 minutes) and explore the Castle and the old town. Great view of the Castle. Located on a busy road but noise did not keep us up at night. Bakeries/cafes/restaurants/groceries within a block or two. Maureen met us at the apartment and was very helpful with any questions we had. Comfortable bed & bathroom. We enjoyed bringing takeout back for dinner. We would stay here again.

The Scottish apartment is just as lovely as the photos in the VRBO listing. The apartment’s high ceilings and large windows flood the space with natural light and provide a lovely view of Edinburgh Castle. The apartment has been thoughtfully (and thoroughly) renovated and is spotlessly clean. The comfort of the apartment was very important to me, because I took ill while in Edinburgh, and it was my little oasis! The neighborhood provided everything we needed. My husband could easily go to the pharmacy for me, and bring home lovely take out dinners. Maureen, the owner, met us upon our arrival, which is a wonderful welcoming touch. I hope to return to Edinburgh some day, and I know where I will stay! Thank you, Maureen!

Wonderful, convenient flat and an excellent host.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10-day stay in this clean, comfortable, safe, beautifully decorated flat on the bustling Lothian Road. We walked to all the Edinburgh City tourist sights from this excellent location. The flat was well equipped with everything to make you feel at home. Fresh coffee, fruit, flowers, milk and cookies along with a well-stocked kitchen for home cooking. A Sainsbury Local and nearby Boots are handy for daily needs. Don’t want to cook? Spoiled for choice with a Greggs Pastry shop for breakfast, The Bento Box, and a variety of other restaurants right out the front door. We cannot say enough good things about our host, Maureen. Helpful beyond expectations, quickly responded to anything we asked, offered great suggestions for things off the beaten path. We consider her a new friend in Edinburgh—that is a first for our many years of renting with VRBO. The apartment interior is exactly as depicted and described. The building elevator and outer hallway carpeting could stand replacement. But Maureen’s flat is posh and perfectly maintained. We highly recommend this apartment and look forward to returning in the future.

Edinburgh getaway

We couldn’t have had a better time! Maureen was kind and helpful. The apartment was impeccably clean and so centrally located that it was so easy to either walk or take a bus to anywhere we wanted to go. We would definitely book this again. Be mindful that it is in the heart of the city and there is street noise which is to be expected, even at night. However the excellent location and beautiful accommodation make it all worth while. Pack the ear plugs and have a great time!
