"Bardzo udany pobyt"

10.0

Idealna lokalizacja, wyjątkowy widok, bardzo czysto i przytulnie

Jedyny minus to hałas w nocy, okna nie są nowe, ani szczelne, więc wiatr nimi poruszał. Uważam to jednak za urok tego miejsca.

"Alloggio accogliente in una posizione eccellente"

9.0

Posizione eccezionale, comoda per raggiungere la maggior parte dei punti di interesse della città a piedi. L’interno della struttura è esattamente come si vede nelle foto, curato e moderno. L’affaccio dalle finestre della camera e dell’area giorno sul royal mile offrono una vista spettacolare! Ottima assistenza in tempo reale via messaggio dal team di calton living per qualsiasi esigenza relativa all’alloggio.

Era tutto in linea con quanto illustrato nelle descrizioni di booking. Unica pecca il wifi che non sempre funzionava bene. Alloggio sconsigliato per chi ha problemi di mobilità visto che ci sono 4 piani di scale senza ascensore (che per noi non sono state un problema)

"Heerlijk verblijf gehad op toplocatie"

9.0

Geweldige ligging, prima ruimtelijk voor twee personen, groot bed, fijn uitzicht op de royal mile.

'S nachts veel lawaai van straat, wat binnen goed hoorbaar was door de matige geluidsisolatie (dunne ramen)

"The Lady Stair's Apartment"

9.0

The apartment felt like home. It had everything you needed to cook and relax in the apartment, or you could just as easily use it as a home base for exploring the local region

In the late afternoon/early evening you could hear the street noise as you are overlooking the Royal mile

"Fabulous hideaway in the middle of Edinburgh old town."

10.0

It was central to everything you would want to visit in the old town and full of character. So much better than a hotel. The apartment was immaculate and beautifully furnished with everything you would need. The communication with the host was excellent and information about finding the apartment, access and amenities locally, was excellent. We were woken by the sound of bagpipes! I thoroughly recommend 👍

For anyone with mobility issues just a warning that the apartment is up a stone spiral staircase on the fourth floor. If you're old like me, take your time and enjoy the magnificent view on each floor balcony!
