My apartment was impeccable. The faucets were shining! The bathroom and kitchen were spotless. I was very impressed by the quality of the toiletries (sad that they were fixed in the shower and I couldn't take a bit with me!) and the generosity of the kitchen supplies: plenty of coffee and tea! For a small space it had absolutely everything I could have needed: hair dryer, safe, ironing board, every essential kitchen necessity: colander, cutting knives, measuring cup, tea pot and kettle, toaster etc. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the check-in was effortless. I am very low-tech but their email was clear: arrive, put in your code at the front door (same one for your room!) and that's it. It was easy to leave our luggage for the day. I had a question and someone answered me immediately from the intercom at the front door. It was a 3 minute walk from the Waverley train station and a mere block from the Old Town - I couldn't have picked a better location. I highly, highly recommend these apartments and have no idea how I could even suggest any improvements!

This place truly boasts a perfect location – we were able to walk to all the major attractions and felt right in the heart of everything. You simply can't beat the convenience. However, our experience was significantly dampened by the poor communication regarding check-in instructions. We received very little information upfront, leading to confusion and a stressful start to our stay. It felt like we had to actively chase down details, which isn't ideal after a long journey. Additionally, it's important to note for future guests that there is no elevator. While this wasn't a dealbreaker for us, it's definitely something to be aware of, especially if you have heavy luggage or mobility issues. We had to carry our bags up several flights of stairs, which was quite a workout. If the management can improve their communication process, this would be an outstanding place to stay. The location alone makes it incredibly appealing.

The apartment was equipped with so many things it made being there so comfortable. I loved the apartment style living and spacious living room. I would’ve preferred to not be in the top floor since there is only stairs. The free laundry was the best thing ever. Everything was clean except the shower had a little mold. Everything else was excellent including the area and eateries close by.

Do not stay here, it is not safe. We were walking in on in the morning by a lady who used the pin pad to get in, as theres no way to lock the door from the inside. She didnt announce herself so i have no idea who she was. The toilet was also filthy when we arrived. Expedia wont allow me to say what was all over the toilet but use your imagination. Just spend a few extra dollars and stay somewhere else.

The location is fabulous, as this property is located on the edge of old town and one block away from new town, a 3 minute walk from the train station, and very walkable to everywhere else in Edinburgh. The property itself is right above a couple of pubs, and is was a little lively on Friday and Saturday nights, but quiet on the weeknights. The entry/access system is wonderful. The apartment itself was well stocked and modern. Would stay there again.

The location of this property is great. We stayed in a 5th floor apartment which was very hot. The bed and pillows were very hard but we were provided with softer pillows when requested. Since there is no air conditioning, I would not recommend staying on the 5th floor during the warmer months.

The location is great, as it is around the corner from the train station. The Royal Mile is merely steps away. Tour busses are close by. And the apartment was just as lovely as described. The property management were amazing when I realized I had left my phone behind and allowed me access back in to retrieve it. All-in-all, was a great experience! Highly recommend!
