The property, location, and host were all fantastic! Nikki was very kind and accommodating to us needing a last minute reservation, and she made sure the flat was in excellent condition when we arrived. The location ensured we could walk to almost ever key destination in Edinburgh. We had a wonderful stay and would gladly do so again!

Great stay

We had a great stay - The listing mentions stairs, but should be clear, there are several flights of steep stairs to get to the apartment. This is not an easily accessible property for those with any kind of physical limitation.

Modernized Apartment in Edinburgh Old Town

We loved our stay! The place was perfectly located in Old Town and, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms, a great place for larger groups. The apartment was clean and comfortable and communication with the property manager was a breeze. There are 3 flights of stairs that one has to take to get to the apartment, but Old Town is full of stairs so by the end of our trip, we were used to it. I would definitely stay at this apartment again!

August 5 Night Stay

The check-in process, communication with the property manager was overall great. The location is incredible. Also, the appliances worked great! I wish I read more closely that this property is up 6 flights of stairs - that is hard with an infant and a lot of luggage. The only down side is that the apartment is mostly carpet and it can get muggy. We would open the windows at night, but i would recommend keeping the windows open when it is not raining so that it is not stuffy inside the apartment.

Spectacular Old Town location

Wow! We didn’t know exactly where to go or what to see in Edinburgh, but we hit the jackpot with this spot! Easy access from train station or tram, just down the road from Edinburgh castle and neighborhoods full of great food and pubs in walking distance. We were traveling with 2 families and 3 generations and this was perfect and Edinburgh was amazing. We didn’t get to new town but all the charm of old town was fabulous for a few days stay. Lots of great little perks/quirks to the apartment including sky lights and a wonderful view of the castle at night on one side and people watching on the street side. Stay here! Thanks!

Edinburgh 5 bedroom Apartment

The apartment was a nice size. The bedrooms were all very spacious. The bathrooms were modernized and very nice. The kitchen was also updated and had nice appliances. The washer/dryer were both great. You need to bring your own shampoo/conditioner. The upstairs bedrooms could have been cleaner. There were hairs in one bed and a stain on the bed in the other bedroom. The apartment overlooks a busy street and the street facing bedrooms were loud. Also of note, there were 68 STEPS to get to the apartment and no lift available.

You cannot beat the price for this location! The Royal Mile, Greyfriars Bobby, and Grassmarket are all within easy walking distance. Because it is so central, it does get a tad noisy during the day with the windows open to the main road, but the noise died down at night and we all slept just fine.A few tips for future guests:Convenience: There is a great wine/grocery shop right around the corner, and a convenience store directly across the street. We were able to pick up laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash there. If you're particular, bring your toiletries with you.Amenities: The dryer was amazing—it actually dries clothes in a single cycle, which is a rare and welcome find in Europe!Accessibility: Keep in mind that the apartment is on the top floor with stairs and no elevator. Some of us appreciated the daily exercise, but the rest of our party wasn't as thrilled, so keep that in mind if you have mobility concerns or heavy luggage.Space: Coordinating 7 adults with only 2 bathrooms was a bit tight, so you'll just need to plan your mornings accordingly!
