The apartment is centrally located on the Royal Mile with a great view of the Royal Mile. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It is close to great restaurants and shops. The only down size were the 34 spiral steps up to the apartment. It was a bit of a challenge with two large suitcases. Shahid the host was very attentive and responsive. Overall, this was a wonderful apartment and stay. Thank you Shahid for a memorable stay.

Absolutely Perfect

From the location, the cleanliness, the communication, and layout of the apartment, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. This was the best location imaginable. Close to train station, bus station, all the restaurants and shops and also where our tour bus picked us up! Excellent spot!The communication with our host was also fantastic! Very responsive with very easy to follow check in procedure. Finally, the layout was perfect for my husband, myself and two adult children. It was so fun to watch the people go by through the huge windows overlooking the Royal Mile. The bedrooms were all toward the back of the apartment which helped with any street noise. And this was by far the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. You seriously can’t go wrong staying here!

Great Royal Mile location

Just what we needed! Only challenge you should know about is the winding staircase to access the apartment. About 40 concrete narrow steps with 1 landing. So pack lightly! Excellent host.
