Excellent place to stay!

The Museum Apartments is in a very central location in the heart of Edinburgh and around the corner from the Royal Mile. The apartment was exceptionally clean and had all the amenities needed for us to feel comfortable. Communication with the management team was excellent - I had a few questions about appliances which were answered immediately.

Walkable home away from home in Old town Edinburgh

You absolutely cannot beat the area of this property. It’s so central to all the spots you want to visit in Old Town, and is only a 16 minute walk to New Town. One of the absolute best parts of this booking was the inclusion of laundry - we wouldn’t have made it through our vacation without it!

Perfect location for a 3 day trip in Edinburgh

The location is so good for walking around Old Town. Bus stop right on Chambers Street. Right across the street from the museum. Grocery down the street and around the corner. Many, many pubs and restaurants near by. Small things like only 2 towels provided initially , walls that need repainted and blinds that are not room darkening were not a major issue for us. Excellent communication back and forth with site with any questions.

Very spacious and airy, with huge, bright windows. Excellent appliances. Comfy bed in a nice little nook. We ate breakfast there with groceries bought from the “local”Saintsbury and cooked over the snazzy induction hob. Would have appreciated a more clear cut way to recycle, tho. Loved being right across the street from the Scottish National Museum and around the corner from lots of bars band restaurants. Fantastic location. Would definitely return!

Excellent property in a perfect locale to see old Edinburgh. Although there is no onsite staff (they are apartments) checkin was smooth and any issues we had were addressed. Communication was via email and they were very helpful. No parking. No air conditioning.
