Guest Reviews

• Gerard (9/5): Highly recommended - Two couples traveling together so the size and space was really enjoyed. Clean, lots of little extras available. Easy access and great communication All great
• Wei (10/5): -
• PenJS (10/5): Perfect location for exploring Edinburgh - The location was fantastic, right in New Town area ,but down a one way street, so less traffic. The apartment was beautiful, 2 bathrooms, extremely comfortable beds,lovely lounge room, a great kitchen with all the facilities we needed. The only consideration is the steep stairs down to the apartment . You need to be careful when carrying luggage down and up.
• Ranveer Ghatge (10/5): - This property was a great value for money deal. Very near the main city centre. Everything was just perfect. Marco the host was quick to reply to messages and helped out immediately for any queries or requirement. Would surely love to stay here again when visiting the city.
• Anne (9/5): Convenient and comfortable for lots of central Edinburg attractions. Lovely residential area. - Great location with walkability to most things in the Castle area. Responsive owner. Living/reception could use more comfortable furniture according to my husband. For four adults, one more chair? Paper towels and some coffee available upon arrival would go a long way for American visitors.
• Line (10/5): Un des plus bels appartements que nous ayons eu dans tous nos voyages - Tout tout tout ! L’appartement est aussi beau et même plus que sur les photos. Laveuse et sécheuse pour les vêtements., chauffage, cuisinière au gaz avec four, bref il ne manquait rien. Nous avons eu quelques questionnements pour faire fonctionner certains équipements et Marco était toujours disponible et répondait très rapidement.. lorsque nous sommes entrés dans l’appartement, les quatre, nous avons fait : Wowww ! Nous recommandons fortement. Rien a redire
• Koen (9/5): - Clean, spacious and very friendly host
• Teale (10/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): Marco is Brilliant and very helpful couldn’t ask for a better host! - Everything!!
• Emma (10/5): The perfect stay for a perfect city getaway. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends and family. - The apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed . Its location was very central for our stay in Edinburgh. The communication and help from the host was excellent and they could not have been more helpful. The apartment was very close to the tram line and took us straight to and from the airport with ease. There is nothing we didn’t like
• Debbie (9/5): Great. Clean and airy shame that above attention to detail was not there or should be removed from site information. - Location and cleanliness Advertised with robes - none. Advertised with patio- no key to allow access. Advertised with coffee machine - only cafetière
• brad (10/5): Great place to stay - Fabulous place. Well laid out and so much room. Excellent location. Super comfy. Nothing.
• Dale (8/5): -
• May Lyn (10/5): Fabulous- will stay again if I visit Edinburgh again. - Unique experience staying in a basement of a local flat. The WiFi lagged a little in some areas of the house.
• Audrey (10/5): Exception apartment, very stylish in a lovely Central location - Immaculately clean and well appointed apartment - very stylish
• Raphael (9/5): -
• Gordon (10/5): Fantastic traditional flat in heart of the city - The property was fantastic and spacious enough for 2 couples not to live in each other's pockets. A great location very central and surprisingly quiet for such a location. It was also a very warm flat.
• Mark (6/5): We love the location but we’ll be staying somewhere else in future. - Location is perfect Fridge ice dispenser hasn’t worked for over a year. We’ve stayed twice and it’s never been fixed. Dishwasher not working for the second time too. Shower is in need of replacement. The property is expensive and I don’t expect appliances to be broken and not repaired. The owner needs to reinvest some of the profits in some maintenance.
• Robert (10/5): Amazing property and location. - We loved everything about this property. Location, space, privacy, layout, furnishings. It was amazing and we would love to stay again. Absolutely nothing.
• Markinnz (10/5): A gem in an amazing city (with coffee nearby!!) - The apartment is enormous compared to other UK properties we have stayed at in cities. Walking distance to everything in central Edinburgh and within 10 minutes walk to the hop on hop off bus routes. The Bonnie Barista serves great coffee and pastries almost directly opposite that opens at 730am. Lovely and warm for our mid winter stay. Christmas markets are nearby. Marco was a pleasure to deal with and we couldn't have asked for better service. Everything was great.
• Teresa (9/5): -
• JAMES (10/5): -
• Jilly (10/5): A great place to stay - Ots location, superb interior with great facilities Nothing
• Louise (10/5): -
• Rachel (10/5): Perfect central stay - Great location Facilities were perfect and had every TV ing we needed Lovely and cosy Nothing
• Nieves (8/5): Apartamento a tener en cuenta por ubicación y limpieza - La cocina, y la amplitud de todas las estancias. La cercanía al centro, a las tiendas, al transporte público, camas cómodas. Comentar también que al estar en la ciudad nueva, te da la oportunidad de conocerla. El apartamento consta de una calefacción realmente buena. La ducha del cuarto de baño grande, no traga el agua está embozada y la limpieza de la goma de esa ducha no es la adecuada. Faltaría un perchero en la entrada - pasillo donde dejar también el calzado de calle
• covadonga (10/5): - La ubicación y lo bonito que está el apartamento, tal como en las fotografías.
• Louise (10/5): -
• Ken (10/5): Great location - Nice and spacious good quality amenities Nothing
• Martyn (10/5): - The apartment was perfect, no negative points whatsoever. It's much bigger than it looks on the photos. Great location. Spotlessly clean.
• Lindsey (8/5): - Location was great Clean & comfortable Absolutely no faults at all
• Pamela (9/5): Excellent location for visiting main attractions of Edinburgh. Comfortable, clean and modern apartment. - Great location near castle and main shopping and restaurant district. Clean, comfortable, great linens and bathrooms. Parking nearby very expensive
• Bernadette (10/5): - Very spacious, close to restaurants & local park in New Town. Easy uber or taxi ride to Old Town
• Mick (9/5): Fantastic accommodation in a perfect location - highly recommended - Very well equipped, comfortable accommodation in a great location in Edinburgh - close to or a short walk from all the sights. Excellent comms from the host with a handy discount code for one of the nearby car parks. No issues, all good.
• Cathy (10/5): - The location of this apartment is superb. Great restaurants on your doorstep, short walk to Stockbridge Sunday Market and book shops, easy walk to Leith. Very spacious and very comfortable. Could do with a few more wine glasses and sharp knives in the kitchen.
• Ken (5/5): Nice place but could be soooo much better w/ a few - Location was great. Water pressure in shower was good. Thought it was very clean. Missing a lot of amenities that could make this stay so much better. The ice maker doesn’t work, there is only 1 hairdryer for 2 bedroom/2bath, no extra pillows and what they did have were flat, tiny mirror to blow dry your hair with in 1 bedroom, no extra towels for 5 nights stay, 2 nonmatching wine glasses, and no Kleenex/tissues.
• Catherine (10/5): Lovely apartment well furnished in great central location - Great place to stay -plenty of room and excellent location Its a basement so no views form windows
• Rosa (10/5): - El apartamento es muy muy bonito, lleno de detalles y muy bien situado. Estancia excelente
• Karen (8/5): Great! - Clean, spacious, modern, comfortable, central, well appointed. Perfect for two couples. Huge bathroom. Great communication from the owner. Central location means rather noisy at night but to be expected really, especially during the fringe, worth it for the location.
• Jill (10/5): Great few days for the fringe - Great location modern decor and spacious
• Justin (8/5): Excellent location in the city, very spacious accommodation and ideal for exploring the city. - Excellent location, spacious, clean
• Brian Houmøller (7/5): Lovely stay with all you need. - I liked the size and the decor. Lovely with two bathrooms. Big kitchen. Good location. Loved the tub. Easy to communicate with Marco. Close to everything. Glassdoor in one bathroom broken, water on floor. A little expensive.
• Ali (10/5): - Everything, it is dreamy Everything was perfect
• Beat (9/5): - Tolle Lage und Ausstattung, geschmackvolle Einrichtung.
• Dawn (7/5): Close to being very good, simple fixes would make it much better - Clean, on inside, bathrooms good Flat pillows, lack of dish towels, construction noise directly above, no Netflix (despite statement that it was available), lack of sufficient seating in living area, dirty outside entry and courtyard
• Margaret (9/5): Excellent - Lovely property good location Bit trouble finding address
• Katy (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious flat in a great location.
• Joanne (9/5): Superb - Lovely apartment and beds were very comfortable. The location was amazing, it was central to everything and literally when you come out of the apartment and turn the corner is the old " Oxford bar" for any Ian Rankin fans. All directions from the apartment are central. Its only a couple of minutes walk down the street to Princes street where you can get buses and trams and there is a little pop-up market at the end of the road aswell. Apartment is on a main road so it can be very noisy early morning so not for people who like to get up late in the morning as bedrooms are located at the front of the property but if your an early riser and like to get out and about then it's perfect.
• Helen (9/5): Very comfortable stay in a stylish apartment in a great location. - Spacious, immaculate, great location. No coat hooks or hooks anywhere to hang towels, coats etc. lighting a bit dim in the kitchen.
• Subir (10/5): Excellent - Great location lovely apartment- great facilities Noisy boiler
• Sarah (9/5): Superb - The apartment was adorable. We were only staying one night be comment that it would be a great base for a longer stay.
• Dora (10/5): Exceptional - The location is superb. A very spacious apartment.
• Nicole (10/5): Lovely stay in Edinburgh - Good location easy to find and access the property! Marco was great to communicate with and even let us check in a little earlier as apartment was ready in time really appreciated too! Lots of eating places around and a short stroll to old town. Was spacious for our group of 4 adults with 2 bathrooms. Liked having access to a washing machine and dryer also. Nice big kitchen isn’t cheap but it’s Edinburgh!
• Mitindar (7/5): Nice - The location and Accomodation was good The front door lock and knob never worked especially from Inside. Need to change the door knob with its mechanism. It was terrible
• Tammy (10/5): Cannot find a more perfect location! - Incredible location! Walk out your door and be gifted with an amazing castle view. Marco was very responsive to inquiries.
• Neil (10/5): Best place to stay in Edinburgh - One Of the best. The location is perfect, near wonderful restaurants, parks and for just playing walking. All of the furniture appeared brand new and expensive more importantly, it was very comfortable. If we get back to Edinburgh, this is the place I would want to stay and I will recommend it to friends. No complaints at all.
• Sean (8/5): Very good - Location Steps down
• Michelle (9/5): Superb -
• Christine (7/5): Good -
• Cheri (10/5): Exceptional -
• Soxymc (10/5): Beautiful apartment in a central location - Beautiful apartment with everything you could need Nothing
• Louise (9/5): Superb -
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Brilliant location. Great host. Couldn’t have been better
• Mark (8/5): Very good - Location Had some issues with the bathroom but they were sorted out quickly by the owner
• Yeong (9/5): Excellent location and very helpful administrator. - Large and spacious, excellent location. Marco is super responsive and helpful. En-suite bath room can do with some upgrade.
• Jon (9/5): Superb - Loved the flat location is superb as well
• Grace (9/5): Excellent, comfortable stay in the heart of the city - Excellent location right in the heart of town, easy to walk everywhere. The apartment was a great size, contained everything we needed for a stay, was comfy and easy to access and use. The only negative I would say would be to invest in some soundproofing/triple glazed windows as we were able to hear noise from the street during the night.
• Serhad (10/5): Home away from home for our family of four and furry friend. - The property is exceptionally well situated boasts excellent amenities. The living room, kitchen and bedrooms are comfortable, clean, and give a home-away-from-home feel. The thoughtful touches, such as the selection of coffees, teas, and biscuits, were greatly appreciated after a long journey from London. Appreciated the staff making the check in and out processes smooth with very clear instructions. Not much to not like about the property or the staff. Excellent overall.
• Mt (8/5): Perfect location in central Edinburgh. - Great location. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. Very nicely furnished. Easy to pick up the keys. Well fitted kitchen with great appliances. Great service from Marco when he acknowledged the problem with the heating. We had a problem with the heating not being hot enough on the first evening but this was rectified the next morning after another email. There are no curtains in the living room and there was a draught blowing through the vented patio door. Not sure why there are no curtains up - there is a track and rings. The fireplace shown in the photos doesn't work. A bottle of fresh milk in the fridge would have been a welcome addition - many places do this.
• Allan (10/5): Excellent location in the city centre but reasonably quiet. Well furnished and very comfortable. - Central location. Clean, spacious.
• Patricia (10/5): Exceptional - this apartment was very central couldn't find key pad when I landed but when i rang the number answered right away would definitely recommend a little pricey
• Smriti (10/5): Great location, perfect family stay. - The location was perfect for a weekend trip. So conveniently located, and easy to get to. We couldn't have asked for a more central, yet residential location. The flat was equipped with great amenities and was very nicely done up. Clean and comfortable. Great restaurants nearby too. The mattress in the master bedroom was a bit squishy and uncomfortable.
• Karen (10/5): Perfect apartment to share with friends for a weekend in an amazing city. - The location is just perfect for a city break.
• Samuel (10/5): Best Weekend Had!!! - Absolutely loved everything about this apartment and Weekend. Great location, Great apartment and a Great time had by all. Mother and Step Mother in Laws both had an amazing first time in Edinburgh and already talking about heading back soon as they can. This apartment is definitely one of the reasons they enjoyed their stay in my favourite city. We will 100% be back!
• Cynthia (10/5): Fabulous - Location excellent Apartment very comfortable and every thing was catered for. Comfy beds Gorgeous Apartment- stylish
• Melissa (10/5): Absolutely perfect for family stay in Edinburgh. - The location was absolutely superb! It is on a quiet street with lots of restaurants, grocery, coffee shops a few hundred feet away, and an easy 15 minute walk to old town and all the main tourist attractions. The apartment is brand new, beautifully furnished, and modern. The host is super helpful and responsive. For us, there were no issues whatsoever. However, people booking should know there is one set of stairs from the ground level down to the apartment at the basement level, and it’s a little tricky if anyone has mobility issues or small children with strollers.
• Susan (8/5): Thank - Excellent location. Communication with Marco was excellent from start to finish. Lovely kitchen. Comfortable beds. Clean. Some of the furniture and surfaces are showing slight wear that is not apparent in photos. Needs refreshing, but very clean and would stay again.
• Leighann (9/5): Lovely spacious flat - Location was fab. Large spacious flat which was well furnished. Beds very comfortable. Shower doors didn't close properly. We were not told before we arrived of scaffolding at entrance.
• Heather (10/5): Perfect stay, great location and had everything we needed! - Fabulous location It was all good
• Yvonne (7/5): Good - Clean and comfortable. Steep steps down in which would have been ok if the scaffolding was not protruding into the step area, leaving only the narrow part to step down. We had our elderly Mum with us, therefore it did cause concern.
• Patrick (6/5): Short Stay in Edinburgh - Location was good and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Princess Street. Close to nice restaurants and coffee shops, slightly quieter side of town and nice for walking and running. Nice kitchen if you plan on cooking. Unfortunately the most important aspect for a good stay is the beds that you sleep in and the rest that you get at night - it was advertised as King size and in my opinion it was more like Queen size - unless Scotland has a different sizing? The Linen was clean so no issue - but the mattress was not really good in the main en suite bedroom - typical boat bed, so poor sleep! It's also below street level and on both nights we're woken up by council workers checking gas lines and homeless people going through the bins in the early hours of the morning. Also no curtains in the lounge? Rather odd or is it just because the owner thinks everyone is going to try their luck and cram more people in? Wrong approach. So it almost felt like you didn't want to spend time in the apartment other than to wash and sleep. So it was a let down.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jw (8/5): Very good -
• Anna (10/5): Beautiful apartment in great location - Excellent location. The apartment was much bigger than we thought and was very comfy. The scaffolding outside the property did make it a little tricky to bring a suitcase down the stairs but we managed.
• Louise (10/5): Looks as nice as the photos! - This is a lovely apartment in a great location. It had everything we needed including a washing machine and dryer. It was nice to have two bathrooms for two bedrooms, and a nice lounge where we could all sit. Very clean.
• Tanya (10/5): Excellent apartment! - Clean, spacious, stylish and comfortable apartment in a central location. The toilet seat in the main bathroom was broken, a bottle of wine or some chocolates would have been an appropriate way to acknowledge the inconvenience. A little bit more detail around the key would have helped as we were unfamiliar with the lock type.
• Donna (9/5): Fabulous stay with friends celebrating a birthday - Comfortable and spacious accommodation, excellent location and well equipped. Prompt and helpful communication from owner. Highly recommended
• Kathryn (10/5): Exceptional - Central location and spacious
• Natalie (10/5): Really lovely apartment, super central, cute decor and great kitchen area. - Really great location. Needed some more full length mirrors in one of the rooms, for the girls to get ready :)
• Ellie (10/5): This was a hidden gem in the centre of Edinburgh, I will definitely stay here again if I return (hopefully I will!). - Really beautiful apartment and a central location.
• Alice (10/5): Love the short family holiday, host is super responsive. Thanks - Location and cleanness of the property is superb One manual key only for the main door.
• Caroline (10/5): Wish we could of stayed longer - The property is stunning Everything was great
• Annette (9/5): Superb -
• Darren (10/5): Exceptional -
• Glynn (10/5): Good enough for us to already be planning a quick return there!!! - Breakfast not applicable. Apartment immaculate, facilities good, Brilliant location. There was nothing not to like
• Alattar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michelle (10/5): Beautiful stay -
• Louise (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alice (7/5): Good experience - The location was really close to the city and the host was so helpful. House was clean when we arrived and heating already on which was great as it was cold! We had some issues with the dishwasher meaning it wasn't in use but wasn't the end of the world. Shower door in the main bathroom wouldn't shut properly meaning the floor got very wet.
• Angus (10/5): Exceptional -
