Perfect location, well appointed apartment, had everything that we needed, steps away from sites and dining options. The host had excellent communication and follow up. Would highly recommend to anyone as long as they are okay with a few flights of stairs to the apartment, but that really applies for all of Edinburgh.

Truly in the middle of it all- my kids watched street performers from the living room window in the afternoons when we came home for lunch. Extremely spacious, beds were comfortable and the shower and bathroom were lovely. There are a lot of stairs so be ready for that, but the location quality and size of this place are fantastic. Extremely good instructions and easy check in

This was the perfect place to spend our 3 nights in Edinburgh! Although there are many stairs to the apartment they are carpeted and a gradual incline so easier than one would expect. The place is so spacious and location on the Royal Mile couldn’t have been better. We enjoyed the buskers from the many large windows, visited St Giles right next door, Mary Kings Close just across from us and a 10 minute walk to the castle. Evening walks along the Royal Mile once the crowds left for the day was very enjoyable. Our host Shahid was wonderful and always easy to reach and checked in to make sure all was well.Do not hesitate booking!

Apartment looked out on Royal Mile and was perfectly situated. Food, places to visit, bus and train station 10-15 minutes walk. History literally outside the building. Shahid, owner, was wonderful and kept me appraised and always available should we need him. My daughter and I had a wonderful and memorable time. It was worth splurging this one time on accommodations; apartment is lovely!
