Summary: This property was a perfect stay for our family!Let me preface by saying I would NOT RECOMMEND this property for anyone with limited mobility or small children. The flat is on the third floor with no elevator/lift and the steps (57) are stone without a railing. That said, it was perfect for our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens). It is located perfectly to the Castle entrance and walking the Royal Mile and shops and restaurants right outside on Grassmarket and Victoria Street. The flat itself was clean and comfortable with separate bedrooms, one with two twins and one with a queen, full kitchen, living room, and one bathroom. My sons said the twin beds were comfortable. The queen was also comfortable. The bathroom was updated and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with everyday items. The host provides a stocked tea station with a pint of milk, a carton of orange juice, and a few treats. The living room area provided some much needed down time to watch TV, play games, and read and space to spread out. The cafe directly below, Jacques' Cafe, has delicious breakfast and the staff was so kind. We also ate at The Beehive Inn and Biddy Mulligans right on Grassmarket.

Summary: We stayed in this apartment in April 2025 and absolutely loved its location with respect to the major tourist attractions in Edinburgh. The property managers were absolutely a pleasure to work and interact with. The instructions for guests were very easy to follow and understand. You can tell that they are experienced with vacation rentals. The flat is located done a narrow-gated alleyway and on the 3rd (top) floor which helped with noise from the neighbors. However, since it is located in the Grassmarket square area, there was noise from the nearby establishments well into the night. With that said, also be aware to keep window blinds closed as the neighboring establishments behind the flat are at your level and people can look in.The WIFI and heaters worked well, and the bathroom and kitchen appear to have been updated recently. Be aware that there is no elevator and the staircases between floor twists up and can be awkward to navigate with bigger-heavier luggage.Furthermore, we came during a “slower” time for tourist in Edinburgh and the weather was cooler/wetter. We cannot speculate how busy the area will be during peak tourism season.

Summary: Really nice place and fabulous location but be aware that the winding stone stairs that go up 3 flights have handrail. Not good for seniors. Very organized and welcoming space.

Summary: The apartment is conveniently located. The furnishings are simple and nice. And for the most part, the description is accurate. However, you should know a few things before booking this place.It is LOUD. Since you are located by several pubs and bars, you will need to bring earplugs/noise-canceling headphones. I assumed with the thick windows, the noise would have been muted. That is incorrect. You can hear the band playing from the Cold Town House pub in your bedroom as if you are right in front of the stage. You also constantly hear the banging of bottles as the service folks empty the trash.The double bed squeaks terribly. I am not a light sleeper. If you turn at all on the bed, it will wake you up. The bed is useless. You cannot sleep on it at all. It stands to reason that the host would fix this problem with a simple wrench or screwdriver. I tried contacting my host during my stay to ask for these tools and received NO RESPONSE. Also, it is a platform bed with a frame that awkwardly sticks out. I banged my foot/ankle on it several times due to the dresser and bed configuration. Be aware.The view of the castle isn’t what I expected. You have to crank your neck to see it from the back bedroom. It’s not like you will have tea or coffee and admire the view.No olive oil or pan spray. Don’t assume you have some of these basics.The bathroom has a strange mirror configuration. It's super small.I would not recommend this place during peak times.

Summary: Excellent central location and super clean & comfortable apartment - worked perfect for our family of 4Appreciated the extra nice touches by the hosts - including a well stocked kitchen (w/ some milk, orange juice, tea & coffee waiting for us), a little Christmas tree, some nice maps / guidebooks and the heated clothes drying rack (which did a remarkable job drying the laundry during a cold & wet winter storm)Cool old building with some great people watching from the windows overlooking the Grassmarket

Summary: We were 3 friends wanting to stay close to the centre but somewhere relatively quiet and peaceful. We had one evening out but wanted to be in for the other evening as we had arranged a long lunchtime out in Leith. The flat was perfect. It was spotlessly clean, excellently equipped and very comfortable. The arrangements were easy to follow and the owner very responsive around allowing an early check in. The welcome pack was really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend to others.

Summary: The apartment is spacious and convenient. Derek is extremely responsive. There was a brief power outage during our stay and he made sure to keep us up to date on restoration times from the local utility. The apartment is conveniently located to all of the local sites.
Karen C. Nov 18, 2024 03:51:53 AM
Summary: Location was perfect. Easy walking distance to castle and Royal Mile and over onto Princes St. many lovely bars, pubs and cafes right on doorstep. The entrance door and communal Steps were a little off putting but the actual apartment was lovely, roomy and well Equipped. The welcome box was very thoughtful. Would definitely stay again. Steps up to the apartment are stone with no bannister so tricky if unsteady on feet.
