Summary: Great place in a great location. Property manager is very friendly and attentive.
Pam R. Jun 4, 2025 06:38:51 AM
Summary: Great location but need double pane windows to cut living area noise
Leah K. Nov 29, 2024 02:44:32 AM
Summary: Great location. We had a wonderful time.
Adam B. Jun 21, 2024 06:35:22 PM
Summary: The apartment is as listed with plenty of space for a family of four. The appliances were like new and served us well. Great overall location to explore Edinburgh or just hang out. The key pickup/ drop off was a little different than I’ve been accustomed to but if planned out appropriately not an issue. Overall wonderful stay and we would return.
Jason M. Dec 6, 2023 09:00:16 AM
Summary: Great location for sure. Clean and spacious accommodations. Couple of things to note that others have stated: you have to pickup the key from a hotel 3 blocks away. the spiral stairs up to the apartments are no joke. Suitcases were a challenge for us. The bar noise isn’t that bad, but the street noise was very noticeable. There was also a lot of cigarette smoke from other apartments, bar, street that lofted up the stairs/windows. Overall we enjoyed our stay since we were only there for brief periods of times.
Laurie S. Sep 26, 2023 11:00:08 AM
Summary: Overall a beautiful apartment. Very spacious and clean. The location is very centrally situated in the Old Town area. The only negative feedback is the entrance to the building which was filthy with rubbish and mail. Not a great first impression and the internet connection was poor.
Dianne G. Jul 24, 2023 11:00:34 AM
Summary: We absolutely loved staying in this rental. Easy walk to everything we wanted to do. The apt was spacious, clean and we loved the location. Beds were very comfortable. Other reviews talk about noise, however we didn't notice - it was truly awesome location with new bathrooms and kitchen. Highly recommend! Two things worth noting: 1) the washer / dryer will take 4.5 hours (YES) per very small load. Even then your wash will not dry completely. Be sure to google how to use as the instructions are not clear. The #1 setting is what to use. 2) the door knob came off in the twin bedroom and our daughter was locked in with no way out if we were not there to open. Note: we were in Edinburgh 4th of July week which was super busy, so be sure to make restaurant and castle reservations in advance.

Summary: Our stay at 6 High Street was very nice. The beautiful apartment was just as pictured and handily close to local attractions. Would love to stay again.
Jacklyn S. Apr 8, 2022 11:00:47 AM
Summary: Property is beautiful and clean. The master bedroom is unbelievably noisy and bright. It’s like daytime all the time. We were 4 adults and we only had one key that works the downstairs door. It’s was a pain in the ass because one person in our group had classes everyday and came home for lunch. That meant we had to be there with the key to let her in. We on more then one occasion requested a second key. We were told. That they had to authorize it with the owner, so needless to say we were there a week and no second key.
Charles A. Mar 18, 2022 11:00:25 AM
Summary: Overall, this was a great choice for us. However, when we arrived, the boiler was offline (no heat or hot water). Techs were dispatched promptly the next morning and found gas line condensate trap was clogged up. This is a normal PM item on these units. Better maintenance and pre-stay prep (e.g verify boiler is running prior to guest arrival) could have spared us the inconvenience.
