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.

Great location at Grassmarket

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.

Cowgate apartment steps away from Grassmarket

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!

Almost perfect

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.

Noisy, ugly student housing

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!

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment with this property. Please be assured this is not student accommodation which is rented during the summer - this holiday let is bookable all year round. Thank you for your comments on where the property can be improved regarding furnishings and beds - we will pass these onto the Property Owner for their consideration. Please note, as per the property photos, this property has a bath with overhead shower. Please also note that, had you contacted our team at the time, we could have rectified any of these issues or looked for alternative accommodation for you. We hope, despite this, that you enjoyed your time in Edinburgh.
