A Perfect Getaway in the Heart of the City!" I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely apartment for 3 nights during my vacation, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. **Location**: The apartment is perfectly situated in a vibrant neighborhood, just a short walk from popular attractions, charming cafes, and local shops. I loved being able to explore the city on foot, and the nearby public transport made it easy to venture further out. **Cleanliness and Comfort**: Upon arrival, I was greeted by a pristine and welcoming space. The apartment was spotless, and the cozy furnishings made it feel like a true home away from home. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring I had restful nights after long days of sightseeing. **Amenities**: The amenities were fantastic! The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing me to **Value for Money**: I found this apartment to be an excellent value for the price. Given the high-quality accommodations and the prime location, it was worth every penny. **Conclusion**: Overall, my stay at this apartment exceeded all my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area, and I look forward to returning on my next

Que se sentía bien estar en una casa.

Que había escaleras y no lo había visto advertido. Me pareció muy costoso al terminar de ver las instalaciones.

"Okay for the short stay"

7.0

Nice place for a short stay. Great location—safe area, close to the city centre and Royal Mile. The room was small but had everything needed. Private bathroom next door and a kitchen with basic equipment, plus free coffee and tea.

Be aware there are two different addresses depending on the room. The room was small for two but okay if you spend the whole day in the city

"Lovely stay but felt slightly overpriced so unlikely to return"

8.0

Well equipped kitchen but is communal so be prepared to meet other guests staying in other rooms. Was a 20 - 30 minute walk from Waverley station but also on good bus route.

Access down steep stairs so not ideal for anyone with mobility problems.

The fact that I’ve got a notification that the address is different to what I’ve booked, better but still why wouldn’t you let people know where they will stay just once they paid for the apartments or even before that?!

"Amazing stay for large family visiting Edinburgh!"

10.0

All the rooms were spacious and well-decorated. The big kitchen & living room were a big plus for our group of 6. We were on a hill so the neighborhood was nice & quiet, surrounded by greenery & a great view of the city. The host was very friendly & communicative. Highly recommended!

Nothing.
