David J. Jun 1, 2025 02:13:52 AM
Summary: Only negative is walking up the steps.. especially with luggage. Great location for the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle.
Rosie B. May 23, 2025 01:08:42 PM
Summary: We loved staying at this comfortable, clean and very centrally located flat. Right in the middle of the Royal Mile, it was steps away from everything and still a quiet oasis. There's no lift, so if you have trouble with stairs it may not work for you.
Ramez Sep 23, 2024 01:21:53 AM
Summary: You can not beat the location of this apartment, but you have to be able to handle the stairs. It’s about four story high. If you have a lot of luggage it is very tiring. The reason I gave it four stars is because the first day we arrive the shower broke, but they were able to get someone to fix it but then the last day water was cutting off. It kept coming and going so it was very hard to take a shower. I know that’s not the apartment issue but as overall it kind of put a little bit of a dent communication was great. Sasha was very helpful and replies very fast I would definitely recommend.
Scott H. Sep 15, 2024 03:44:30 AM
Summary: This property is on the top floor of a classic apartment building right square in the middle of the Royal Mile. We thought we might have a problem with noise, but in fact it was very peaceful and not noisy at all. The apartment itself was clean, updated and modern. We had great communication and support from the rental team. Highly recommended! Would love to stay here again.
Paul C. Aug 26, 2024 06:36:07 PM
Summary: A great stay! This is a very nice flat in an excellent location. I would definitely stay here again
Susan K. Jul 15, 2024 01:21:27 AM
Summary: It met all of our expectations!
Kellie M. Jul 12, 2024 11:54:16 PM
Summary: Wonderful stay, perfect location and beautiful view. Right in the thick of the royal mile, so you will hear foot traffic while in the apartment. But it was fun for us to watch all the action from our window. 5 story walk up so not for people with impaired mobility. Thank you!!!!
Alan W. Jul 7, 2024 07:01:57 AM
Summary: Loved our 4 days at this apartment. Location was great! Got to hear the bells of St Giles and bagpipers each day. The stairs are brutal but worth it.
Bonnie M. Jul 3, 2024 03:56:11 AM
Summary: I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The flat is SPACIOUS, beautiful, well equipped, and had very comfortable beds. The views were unbelievable and we felt like we were in a fairytale. The location could NOT be better. I will be coming back with my spouse and plan to stay here again!
Brian B. Jan 1, 2024 09:55:46 PM
Summary: Outstanding location for all things in the heart of Edinburgh!
