Good location. Just hard to lug our large heavy suitcases up all the stairs. The apartment was small but functional. Extra little things like tea and coffee available for use in the kitchen and a washing machine was a delight.
The property was clean and was a great location. If I was being picking the shower grout could use some attention but that would not stop me from booking again. Overall very good experience.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and made the most of the good location. Thank you for your comments on the shower grouting - we will discuss this further with the Property Owner and our maintenance team. We hope to welcome you again soon!
Excellent location with easy walking to explore Edinburgh. The apartment is spacious with a full kitchen a big plus!
The bedding situation as far as comfort needs to be improved. The boiler should be set up before guest checks in and the shower was a challenge!
Definitely recommend this apartment at beautiful Edinburgh.

The apartment was convenient to many sites in central Edinburgh. The kitchen was well equipped. The living room and bedroom were comfortable.The description of the stairs to the apartment was accurate, so be prepared if you have heavy suitcases! Management was quick to respond to our request to check in an hour early. Overall, a great choice when staying in Edinburgh!
It’s a lovely apt. The shower curtain blows against u as shower, which makes it difficult to use. It needs a curtain on the bedroom window beside the closet. the neighbourhood is in an entertainment district, so there is some noise at night. There should be consistency in using the correct address on the host’s information.

My husband and I looked forward to a nice stay in Edinburgh. This property was TERRIBLE. Not at all as described. It's student housing they rent out over the summer to unsuspecting adult guests. NOISY. Very uncomfortable bed and cot. Dirty. Shower was only a shower head in a tub. Worn out furnishings. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Stay away!
