"Nicely modernised apartment in a great location"

8.0

Brilliant location

Should come with a warning that it’s in the 4th floor up winding stairs. All part of the fun, but hard work carrying bags!

"This apartment gives you the pulse of the very heart of the city ❤️"

10.0

A comfortable apartment in the very center. A stunning view from the balcony right by the front door over Edinburgh as it is. Inside, everything is very functional. The apartment is warm, has blackout curtains, and the water pressure is good. All appliances and furniture are in excellent condition. Easy self check-in. No communication issues at all.

Steep stairs, but for us it was ok. Street noise in the apartment; earplugs might help.

"Nice flat, great communication from hosts, but noisy."

7.0

Clean, spacious and central

Outside noise was intrusive from 0530 and throughout the day. The Old Town is now a real tourist spot so there is a constant bagpiper 0900 to 2000 as well as street entertainment in the road directly below the flat (that aspect was mainly weekend only). Deliveries and bin collections start from 0530.

Location, washing machine, good kitchen, tv and wifi.

Bit noisy, many steps (though we were aware of this), dusty fake plants.

"Visite Édimbourg"

7.0

L’emplacement idéal pour visiter la ville, La cuisine salon ensoleillés dès le matin, La gentillesse des hôtes, Le calme des appartements adjacents.

La vétusté des fenêtres empêchant (même avec des bouchons d’oreille) de dormir…

"Excellent"

8.0

Amazing location. The best interior for feeling the city history — this stone wall is so beautiful. Staff were very kind and helpful, they provided me a bit earlier check-in.

Windows aren’t closing properly so when it’s windy the windows slam loudly and it could continues the whole night. The staircase is very high and narrow, it feels like 5-6th usual floor, so be aware if you have a huge luggage. Sounds of bagpipes in the street start from 9am and lasts all day, I liked it anyway, but it could be unpleasant for those who are sensitive to silence.
