Bright Old Town City Centre Apartment

The place is well-located within easy walking distance of the entire Royal Mile and lots of shopping and restaurants. It was clean and comfortable, and seemed like good value for the money we paid.

While I recognize it’s not the hosts’ fault, this place was SO noisy. It fronts onto a promenade that contains multiple pubs that are popular with hen and stag parties, students, and seemingly everyone else in Edinburgh. It’s also directly above two of the pubs. Every night, we were woken at least once by drunken screaming from outside. The night before we left, there was a concert in one of the pubs below us until after 1 a.m., adding loud music to all the other noise from outside. Even with white noise machines, earplugs, and the double windows closed, we couldn’t sleep until after 2 a.m., which was not ideal when we had to catch an early train. We also couldn’t get the heat to go on, even after following the detailed instructions, so the place was chilly. To be fair, we could have messaged the hosts about this and I’m sure they would have helped, but decided we could cope with it as it was.

Location was incredible! Beds were super comfortable and there was a lot of space. Kitchen was well appointed and the common space was large and airy.

I little challenging to find initially, and the entry/stairs are a little off putting.

Location!

Two flights of stairs with suitcases.

A really charming and nice flat in the middle of everything! There was everything you could ask for 🤩

We were a bit worried when we first entered the staircase, but the apartment definitely made up for it.

Location was perfect.
