Guest Reviews
- Tony (10/5): Great location with parking spot. - Hosts generously leave milk , biscuits and fruit as a welcome gesture . Tesco supermarket only a 100m away which is a huge advantage. Property comes with a parking permit which therefore allows you to walk everywhere and not have to worry about parking which is hard to find in inner Edinburgh near the attractions . Apartment has a good kitchen , TV and bathroom. The matress could have been better . Comfortable but springs sag and make loud noises on every movement. Other than that the place is perfect and worth staying ✨️

- Derek OH (10/5): -
- Giuseppe (10/5): I recommend this place - Nice, clean and fully equipped apartment, located 20min walk from the centre. Good communication with the host, who had replied promptly at every single message before and during my stay. Unfortunately we couldn't meet as i ve arrived very late at night and left very early in the morning. I recommend. - -
- Ros (10/5): - Great location. Quiet. Comfortable.
- Michelle (10/5): Excellent home away from home. Location just a short bus trip to the Royal Mile. Hosts provided a welcome box and lots - Location and very welcoming Nothing
- Ian (10/5): - Cosy and comfortable apartment that had everything we needed. The owners kindly had a welcoming selection of fruit, biscuits and milk in the fridge. Lovely and quiet, yet close to Edinburgh city. Super convenient with Tesco superstore and bus stop only 2 min walk. Free parking was an added bonus. Nothing - everything met all our needs 🙂
- Sándor (9/5): - Easy to get to city by bus .There is a Tesco store and good restaurant close to apartment. I prefer separated toilet and bathroom .There are no curtains on the windows which might be usual here but strange for us .
- Karolína (10/5): - Byt byl velmi útulný a pěkně zařízený. V ložnici byla poměrně zima, to je vše, co bych vytkla.
- Trent (10/5): Fantastic base to explore Edinburgh - Spacious, well stocked kitchen, full fridge, very clean, peaceful neighborhood and steps to the supermarket Nothing, at first I wanted to be closer to the city centre, but in hindsight I’m glad I stayed away a bit. Easy walk to the centre.
- Dion (10/5): -
- Tommaso (10/5): - Appartamento situato in una zona residenziale molto tranquilla, distante dal centro di Edimburgo 10 minuti in autobus e 25 minuti a piedi. Dotato di tutti i servizi necessari e anche di più. Host molto gentili e disponibili, check in semplicissimo. Consiglio fortemente.
- Jacqueline (10/5): -
- Stuart (8/5): Great apartment in Edinburgh - A very nice ground floor apartment. Compact yet comfortable with everything we needed. Walkable to central Edinburgh, or there's a bus stop around the corner. The owners left us fresh fruit, milk, coffee, etc. They responded quickly when we managed to blow the fuses! Nothing really - except maybe the bathroom was a little cramped. (Great shower, though!)
- Kampanart (10/5): -
- sarah (10/5): - Great little flat. Welcoming warm and clean
- Fara (10/5): Very clean and fully equipped for cooking. Great location if you have a car, and the tram is about a 10‑minute walk away - Strategic if you rent a car. The property suitable up to 2-3 people. More than that will be cramped Nothing
- Dorleta (8/5): -
- Carol (10/5): Home away from home - perfect facilities for a stay in Edinburgh - Fabulous apartment - has got everything you need, very clean and tidy. We had a really comfortable stay there. 2 mins walk to Tescos, and 5 mins to bus-stops to go into town. Easy to find and free onsite parking too which was awesome.
- Ambrosini (10/5): - Appartamento molto comodo, pulito e accogliente. Dall’alloggio ci si sposta tranquillamente a piedi per raggiungere il centro città.
Super consigliato!
- Florian (10/5): -
- Bremner (9/5): -
- Emma (9/5): -
- Joel (8/5): - For that price I would expect some shampoo in the shower.
- angeles (9/5): -
- Rod (8/5): - Free parking. Easy to get to. Warm and cosy. Local amenities within easy walking distance. City centre a bit further but easily walkable.
- Luisa (10/5): Better that I thought, recommended 100% - It was comfortable, good heating, some little things that makes everything comfortable. Nice details on arrival. I would recommend for sure.
- Sandra (10/5): - Eine wunderschöne Wohnung in sehr schöner Lage, in unmittelbarer Nähe sowohl zu mehreren Parks, zum Rad-Wanderweg, als auch zum Supermarkt. Zum Citycenter ist es ein schöner Fußweg von ungefähr 20 min. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und ein liebevoll gefüllter Obstkorb und ein schönes Teaset mit leckerem Shortbread warteten zur Begrüßung auf uns. Brian und Katy sind wirklich super Gastgeber. Die Betten (auch das Sofabettt im Wohnzimmer) sind sehr bequem und es ist herrlich ruhig, so dass man wirklich gut ausruhen kann.
- zuzana (9/5): -
- Leon (9/5): Nice private apartment in a good location that met my needs - Good communication from the Host making for a smooth check in. The Apartment was clean & tidy and in a good location not far from the centre (but far enough to be quiet) and 29 mins walk from the Waverly Train Station. The Host was kind enough to put out a welcome pack with lots of helpful information, also much appreciated tea, coffee, milk and a bowl of fruit. The heating worked well and the bed is comfortable , nice shower too. I will stay again in the future . No negatives to be honest
- Kerry (10/5): Great little apartment for single, couple or even a small family (has a sofa bed but table seating for 2 only). Lovely - Great communication prior to my stay. Early check in was allowed and when I arrived even earlier than the new time, Brian (owner) took it in his stride and welcomed me warmly. The apartment was warm and homey, with everything you could need. The ambience was lovely. Bedroom was large with plenty of wardrobe space, walk-in shower with plenty of linen. The location was super-quiet, especially at night. It was a 2 min. walk from Tesco Which sells everything., and a 5 minute walk to catch public transport into the main part of Edinburgh. Located on a nice walking/jogging/cycling path. Also very secure if that is important. Would highly recommend. Nothing.
- Ann (10/5): Great location - Clean, compact apartment in a nice part of town. Several bus stops nearby and convenient for a pleasant park and Water of Leith footpath.
Owners are great at communicating. It is compact so best for a couple sharing the bedroom.
- Elizabeth (8/5): - The apartment was central and you could easily walk to the attractions.
- Dominik (7/5): - Zentral gelegen, gute Park Möglichkeiten, in 5 Minuten zu Fuß am Meer. Die Pumpe der Toiletten Spülung war doch ziemlich laut.
- Me842 (9/5): -
- Anne (9/5): - Clean tidy with everything we needed great location very quiet great having Tesco right next door Nothing
- Dannis (8/5): -

Lots of fruit on arrival was a really nice touch
Good location
- TESS (10/5): Super séjour dans cet appartement à Edinburgh - Les hôtes étaient très réactifs et à l’écoute.
L’appartement était très propre et il y avait tous l’équipement prévu et même plus (machine à laver avec lessive, étendage, aspirateur, papier aluminium et sulfurisé, sucre, thé, café…), il y avait également des attentions particulières de faites (fruits, cookies, lait…) et un guide détaillé du fonctionnement de l’appartement, des transports et activités d’Édimbourg.
Localisation idéale avec un arrêt de bus à 5 minutes à pied permettant d’atteindre le centre-ville en une vingtaine de minutes.
Le quartier est accueillant et calme et à proximité immédiate d’un supermarché (2 minutes à pieds). Rien à dire tout était parfait
- francois (10/5): - Très calme, bonne literie, propre. Parfait pour se reposer après une journée de vadrouille
- Vanessa (9/5): Very pleasant - The unit was very spacious and clean and was in a relatively close proximity to the city The fire alarm gets triggered by the bathroom steam.
- katia (10/5): - C'est proche de la vieille ville. On peut s'y rendre à pied ou prendre les transports, il y a plusieurs lignes de bus. Un grand supermarché est à côté.

- Stephanie (9/5): Superb - We have stayed here a number of times when visiting our son in Edinburgh. The apartment is warm, clean,comfortable and in a quiet location. There is a Tesco a couple of minutes walk away. I love being near the Botanic Gardens and being able to walk along the river either to Leith one way or Stockbridge the other. Very minor- the teabags! Not ‘normal’ tea.
- Edward (10/5): Exceptional -

You won’t go far wrong with this apartment, we definitely recommend it for a stay in Edinburgh Everything was perfect
- Claire (10/5): Exceptional - Brian met us at check in and was so helpful in getting us familiar with the flat and the area. We are a family of 3 and Boat Green was perfect. Comfortable and clean and with everything you could need. Such a cute place and thoughtful touches everywhere. We felt so welcomed and would highly recommend. Nothing - front door hinges could do with an oil (we felt like we were waking up the neighbourhood when we got up and out early!).
- Tracey (10/5): Exceptional - Brian and Katy are lovely hosts, very helpful and easy to communicate with. The apartment had everything we needed, was in a great location and we had very peaceful sleeps there. Nothing

- Katie (8/5): Excellent in Edinburgh - Excellent location, everything we needed. Nothing!
- Catherine (10/5): Exceptional - The location was absolutely ideal - walkable or a short bus ride from the city but a little removed from the festival crowds. Also 2 minutes to a supermarket. The apartment was clean and simple with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Access was super easy and we were greeted with a lovely bowl of fruit, which is exactly what we needed after more than 24 hours of travelling. Thank you for a fabulous stay in a truely enchanting city.
- Andrea (10/5): Lovely stay for a city break, very close to a local Tesco and 30 mins walk from Edinburgh castle. - Clean cosy apartment , complementary fresh fruit and milk were much appreciated All was perfect

- Teresa (10/5): Perfect comfortable apartment close to city, lovely and clean - Lovely place close to city and amenities. Lovely basket of fruit and cookies and milk in the fridge on arrival, very thoughtful and much appreciated after the long drive up. Apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed. Thanks so much Nothing
- Niki (9/5): A lovely, cosy and very clean apartment! - A lovely and cosy apartment with everything you need. Very very very clean. A bit small if you're travelling with a teenager, but perfect for 2.
- Chris (10/5): Four-night stay, no complaints. Well-stocked apartment with great communication. - The apartment was as expected based on the description and photos. Communication was great, every question answered and our request for an early check in courteously accepted - we flew in overnight from the US and needed a nap! The apartment was well-stocked with essentials - dishes, utensils, cups, pans, soap, towels, you name it; they even so graciously provided some fruit, cookies, milk, coffee, etcetera. Tesco is extremely convenient, and there are multiple bus options to the city center within a block's walk. Nothing at all, would definitely stay again. Note the place is a bit small if using the sofa bed.
- Peter (9/5): Edinburgh Apartment - The location was really close to bus stops to get anywhere we wanted. Also, close walk to a Tesco supermarket and restaurants. The apartment was spacious and generally comfortable. The handbook was well done, with lots of information. The host communication was good.
- Sophie (9/5): Superb -
- Alan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julia (10/5): Wonderful - Wonderful apartment with everything we needed. Loved the area and the nearness of a walking path, grocery, & botanic gardens. Clean, bright, great amenities. We walked to and from downtown several times. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.
- Jerome (7/5): Lots of ++ and not many - - The location was good for use since we like walking. It is very close to a grocery store and a long walking trail.
It is 30+ minutes from Royal Mile and outside the commercial/ tourist centre.
The apt is compact. The bedroom and washroom are a nice size. The pullout was ok for 1-2 nights. The apt is located on the ground floor so you hear the door slam from anyone entering or exiting the building. This was not an issue for me since I am up early in the morning. If you have a vehicle the parking is the size of a pea, which might be typical for the area but can be challenging.
- Bianka (9/5): Superb -
- Kalina (10/5): Great place - Great place to stay! The apartment is clean, cozy and fully equipped, and there are instructions for everything, just in case:) Walking distance from center (about 20 min), but if you are being lazy, there’s a bus stop super close to the apartment, with buses every 5 min that take you to the must do’s in Edinburgh. The owners were very helpful with everything we asked!
- J (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): Edinburgh apartment in an excellent location. - Excellent straight forward instructions for arrival regarding location, parking and keys.
Superb location just a short walk from central Edinburgh & a bid Tesco 100 yards away - Brilliant Accommodation was cold on arrival however this was due to windows being open to air the apartment and heater on timer. A quick read of instructions and the heating was on & windows were closed. No issues at all.

- Greg (9/5): Nice place to stay, convenient to groceries and supplies, easy to get uber, very comfortable. - Conveniently located as long as Uber is running, not really walkable to other locations other than the botanical garden. Nothing. Very nicely appointed and comfortable.
- Yumi (10/5): Wonderful stay! Felt welcomed:):):) - Welcomed by such lovely flat with a basket of fruits, a package of biscuits, a bottle of milk etc… Super clean, enough space, easy access to the city centre yet very quiet neighbourhood.
