Loved our stay in a 2 bed apartment in Braid apartments. Beds so comfortable that I didn’t want to leave ! Great welcome basket with some breakfast items were waiting for us on arrival. 2 bathrooms with showers in each and great heat throughout the apartment. Super place to be based as so close to princes street and main sites. Staff very helpful before arrival and provided information when it was needed. We arrived around 8pm and it was easy to access with the provided code which was emailed and also available on that app. Super stay!

This was the perfect property for 2 people. Kitchen was well-stocked, sofa was comfortable, TV had many channels. Shower was a bit tight, and bed smaller than we expected. It was nice having a washer/dryer in the unit. It is on a quiet side street, only a stone’s throw away from Hanover St. There we found many good restaurants and coffee houses. It is a 5min walk to Princes St, with M&S, a drugstore, other stores, and a ton of bus stops. It is about a 15-20min walk to the Royal Mile. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. It was a bit more expensive than other properties, but we were very pleased. We would stay here again!

Our second stay here and again very comfortable. Good location in New Town, 10 mins from Waverley station with buses and trams even closer. Apartment is well equipped and a good size. The check-in app is a little irritating, and there seemed to be a herd of elephants staying in the apartment above us! Like everything in Edinburgh it is expensive in August.

The 2 bedroom unit was spacious with 2 bathrooms and a/c in the bedrooms. Everything very clean. Larger bedroom had 2 twins pushed together and its own bathroom. Other one had full bed. Generous kitchen with everything needed if want to cook a little and settle in. For those with mobility issues - note 2 sets of stairs before one get's to elevator (3 front treads and then another 15). Milk in the frig was welcome (but did not get the basket of goodies other reviewers mentioned). Nice robes, slippers and lux lotions, shampoos and conditioner. Only complaint was sometimes a little scattered garbage and garbage smells across alley from entrance (but maybe nothing to do with the Apts). Some comm issues with arriving after front desk closed at 7pm but worked out fine. Would stay again.

Bed was comfortable. Everything very clean. Took a few tries to get into the unit (didn’t know we had to lean extra heavily into door to open). Location was great. Within walking of everything we wanted to see. If we return to Edinburgh in the future we will check here first for our place to stay.

Great for a solo traveler. Very convenient location but with that came very inconvenient noise during all hours of the night. Could hear people walk past the window as if it was open, and as it's right next to several bars... shouting and screaming of those leaving the pubs. If you don't mind that, excellent location. If you do, bring earplugs.
