"Absolute delight!!"

10.0

Brilliant location! Absolutely a delightful apartment with everything you need. Would have loved to stay longer.

4 flights of stairs! Lol. Ok if travelling light but large suitcases may make it harder to get up as it’s spiral but a great staircase.

"Comfortable central apartment"

9.0

Amazing location, very comfortable, great Wi-Fi and views. Bedroom and bathroom very clean. Good communication and clear instructions re entry, thank you. Definitely recommend!

Unfortunately oven not clean so when we tried to use it, smoke came out every time we opened oven door and we raced to open apartment door and windows so smoke alarms not set off, and couldn’t use oven for our dinner.

"Very good"

8.0

The location was amazing. The views are great, it is wonderful to be in the heart of the old city of Edinburgh

Finding the place was very hard Also, it should be clear from the get go, that it is on the 4th floor. Taking up our baggage upstairs was not an easy task Also the keys are not easily opening the apartment door

"Loved this little place. Very clean and well kept. Right in the middle of everything!"

9.0

Such an amazing location. Very charming.

A bit of a haul up the 4 story spiral staircase, but kind of adds to the charm of the location.

"Really great for what we needed for a night!"

9.0

The space was great, the bathroom was very clean, and the washer was a great bonus! Nicely decorated. The size of the bed was great and the sitting area was spacious. Great location very close to the royal mile.

The comforter on the bed had a few spots that weren’t entirely clean. The lock box was hard to access if you weren’t very tall. The bed was a little firm and you couldn’t sleep in the middle.

"Great location"

8.0

The apartment is lovely and in a good location, walking from all the best spots! It’s cozy and seeped in history

The apartment comes with a steep climb :) it’s on the top floor with a climb through winding stairs with luggage which was difficult to do.

"Close to perfect"

8.0

Apartment is lovely inside. We'll equipped and stylishly furnished. Great contrast in contemporary furnishing and finish with the ancient stone. Perfect situation for exploring the Old Town and events at the Castle.So much history literally around you. Whole Close is very atmospheric.

The noise at night. Pretty much a sleepless night. Revellers till after 3am, then post event barrier clearance from 6am. Nothing significant can be done to alleviate this. If you are unaffected by noise it is a great place. Not so much if you're a light sleeper.

"Roll on visit number 3!"

10.0

I liked the location alot, being on the Royal Mile was great. I also loved the outside sound of bagpipes every day 👍

Being on the fourth floor wasn't easy to climb after climbing the hills of Edinburgh! Was my second time at this apartment so I knew what to expect but it still wasn't easy 😂

"Beautiful property and view. Fantastic central location"

9.0

Lovely room and the location was amazing.

The key box was quite high, it was difficult for me to reach and change the number easily and also open. Managed but it is a stretch.
