This apartment is in a great, central location with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. It was easy to access the apartment with the pass code. There are a lot of steps to get into the apartment which can be an issue if you have a large, heavy suitcase or mobility issues. You may want to consider traveling with 2 smaller bags. Didn’t mind the stairs when coming and going from sight seeing. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The pillows on the bed are on the thin side but fine when doubled up. The bathrooms are great, with one having a huge tub and shower combo and the other a nice shower. Plenty of hot water! The area outside the apartment is very lively but by 10pm it was very quiet and even before then the noise level was minimal. Overall, a convenient, quiet, comfortable place to stay.

Vacation
Awesome location. Place was clean and had plenty of hot water. It was on 4th floor, but we knew that before booking. Only complaint, the pillows were thin and terrible. We would book this place again.

Perfect location!
This property is in the perfect spot to explore the royal mile! There are restaurants all around, places to listen to live music, we even could hear a bagpiper from down the road. One of the coolest things was in the evening, the cathedral across the street was lite up with beautiful lights and there was a full moon that pulled the perfect picture all together. With 5 adults (2 couples) we appreciated having our own room and bathroom. We arrived in town a bit earlier than check in time, and our host was so kind to let us in. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Great location but a lot of stairs to your apartment
We underestimated how many and how steep the stairs were to the apartment, especially if you have luggage. The overall condition of the apartment was very good. Wish they would have had more utensils for cooking.Also, the bedrooms, at times, were very cold. When I asked for blankets, I was told there would be a charge that equals about 50 to get them.Great location and good communication with the rental team.

Surprised
The property is beautiful and clean. The location if you like to be in the center is great. The view to the cathedral was breathtaking. The only thing that I was surprised and dissapointed was the 100 steps to get to the apartment. If I would have known prior to arriving, I probably would have not stayed there. There is no elevator on the property and carrying the suitcases for all of us,only ladies, was awful. It was a mission after a long day of walking to get back to the apartment and climb those 100 steps.

Misleading
Limited for one of the group mobility issues. Because of the 75 winding steps, he had stay in half of the time we were there. The management team were not helpful at all,
