Guest Reviews

• Chore64 (9/5): -
• laurent (9/5): Appartement très chaleureux et bien placé - La surface, la proximité du centre ville, bus au pied de l appartement, la qualité du mobilier Peut être le manque de vaisselle
• Sofia (7/5): Bonitas instalaciones y ubicación. Deben mejorar la atención al cliente. - El apartamento era cómodo y espacioso. Está bien equipado. Tiene una buena ubicación. Lo que no me gustó fue que cuando hice el check in, nos dijeron que nos iban a hacer la limpieza los días que estuviéramos en el apartamento. Nunca llegaron a hacerla.
• Racquel (10/5): Very satisfied renter here. 10/10 - The location was easy to find, very lovely apartment, very near and walkable to the csnter and tourist spots. None.
• Alessio (9/5): -
• Peter (10/5): -
• Isabella (7/5): - Ci e' piaciuta la posizine della casa a soli 15 minuti a piedi dal centro.. siamo stati contenti di trovare il tostapane, la lavastoviglie e la televisione. Consigliamo di aggiustate la persiana in una drlle 2 camere da letto perchè altrimenti la mattina entra troppa luce. I materassi sono un pò troppo morbidi.
• Rashad (10/5): - Very clean and well equipped apartment in a perfect location close to everything. Would definitely stay here again next time in Edinburgh!
• Valerie (8/5): -
• Eveline (8/5): -
• Alejandra (10/5): - El lugar perfecto para quedarse unos días en Edimburgo. El apto super completo, muy bonito, amplio y con todo lo que uno necesita para pasar unos días espectaculares. Excelente ubicación.
• Marie (8/5): -
• Miaofan (6/5): 房間好，地點佳，但設備故障率高。常常沒有熱水澡洗，其中一間浴室沒有暖氣⋯⋯我在這裡住十四天，後面四天都在重感冒。 - 地點佳，空間大、裝潢漂亮！ 兩間浴室洗澡水溫不是太燙就是太冷，向物流公司反應後沒有回應；抽油煙機故障沒有維修。浴室暖氣壞掉。
• Breda (10/5): - Location is perfect. Apartment is beautiful. Communication from hosts was excellent. I love the unique layout of the apartment and the views to Carlton hill.
• Rachel (9/5): Beautiful, spacious, light-filled apartment in a terrific central location - Beautiful apartment, big rooms, great light, great location
• Rebecca (7/5): Great location with abundance space - We were in Edinburgh visiting our daughter and this location was close to her flat and everything we wanted to see while in town. The second set of stairs are skinny and worn making climbing a bit treacherous.
• Belinda (6/5): Beautiful apartment, perfect location! Sadly no heating and no hot water.. - Big rooms, comfy beds! The main boiler didn't work, which lead to no heating and no hot water in the kitchen and one of the bathrooms. The communication with the host was quite slow so the matter couldn't get fixed.
• Kamini (8/5): Good Location and Spacious Apartment - The apartment was nice, spacious, and well-located, making it convenient for getting around and enjoying the area. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, which we really appreciated. However, we did experience some challenges with the central heating during our visit. The hosts were very responsive and proactive in addressing the issue—someone was always called out promptly to fix it, which showed great commitment to guest comfort. One thing to note is that the apartment is up two steep flights of stairs, which might be difficult for those with mobility concerns and heavy luggage.
• Marilena (9/5): Struttura ottima, ottima la posizione, perfetto per una famiglia o per due coppie. Molto elegante con panorama dalla cam - Struttura molto elegante e molto ampia Buona posizione
• Omar (9/5): Bokar definitivt samma boende nästa gång! - Lyxig gammal lägenhet i ett trevligt område. Allting låg max (!) 20 min ifrån. Stora sovrum, stort vardagsrum, varsitt badrum i respektive sovrum. Fantastiskt verkligen! Duscharna hade lågt tryck så det tog en lite längre stund att duscha. Trapporna i byggnaden var inte smala och ojämna och där fanns ingen hiss som alternativ.
• Georgia (10/5): -
• Kaja (10/5): -
• Shomitha (7/5): Exceptional location, very spacious place. - Brilliant location, 15min walk to station, central high street, local shops and food places, lovely spacious apartment, with lovely decor. We didn't stay much time indoors as we were out touring the city. But overall would come again. We even found storage places locally (mins from the apartment) to leave our suitcases after check-out as our train time was not much later. Hassle free! Stairs a bit steep coming up to flat, outdoor nosies esp during the night. The lock box was a bit stiff to open but overall was a very pleasant stay.
• Jan Roelof (9/5): Geweldig weekend in Edinburgh gehad!, - De douche in de badkamer bij de slaapkamer was niet optimaal, temperatuur was niet goed in te stellen en was of te heet of te koud.
• Katherine (10/5): Incredible Apartment - Really spacious - photos don’t show the actual size. Location was really nice, enough out of the centre that’s it’s quiet - and didn’t take too long to walk into the centre. Picturesque apartment and the views from it were beautiful. Beds were very comfy as well
• Stephen (10/5): Highly recommended central Edinburgh apartment. Close to public transport but slso very walkable to all parts of the cit - Great location just behind Carlton Hill. Easy walk to the whole city. Large sunny apartment with plenty of room for two couples. The two seperate bathrooms (one an ensuite) were great, one even had a bath. Comfortable beds, nicely furnished, nothing not to love. The stairs to the apartment are steep and uneven. Not a problem unless you have a mobility issue.
• Michael (10/5): -
• Drenushe (10/5): Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Würde ich immer wieder buchen ☺️ - Die Unterkunft war super, groß , sauber und man hat alles was man braucht , ruhige Gegend , man ist in 8-10 min in der Stadt . Mein eigenes Glätteisen konnte ich im Apartment in nicht verwenden, da es mit der dortigen Stromspannung nicht kompatibel war.
• Tom (10/5): -
• mommi64 (7/5): Bonito apartamento con algun problema - Amplio piso y luminoso, muy céntrico. Cómodo y limpio. El fregamanos de la suite estaba atascado y no se podia usar. Contactamos con ellos y a pesar de decir que lo resolverían, en los tres dias no lo solucionaron. Tampoco havían pastillas del lavavajillas, por lo que no se pudo usar.
• Alejandra (10/5): -
• natalie (10/5): Fantastic place to stay in Edinburgh! - The location was great. Just far enough away from the noise of the city centre but close enough to walk to with lots of cafe choices right nearby. We had an iron but couldn't find the ironing board :-(
• Franziska (10/5): - Lage war super, Ausstattung top Wir waren durchweg sehr zufrieden
• Brian (9/5): Really wonderful space in a great location - The only point some potential guests might want to know about is that the second flight of stairs is quite step and with steps worn - heavy luggage can be challenging and some people might need to know that in advance? Otherwise the property is excellent
• Sabine (10/5): - Tolle Wohnung in einem viktorianischen Haus. Super gelegen, alles gut zu Fuß erreichbar.
• Alison (9/5): -
• Anthony (10/5): Lovely Flat in Heart of Edinburgh - Very spacious and very nice apartment. Well located with the tram to and from the airport a very short walk away. Lovely park right across the road. Location is very good. Communication with host and check in is a breeze.
• Jan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gemma (9/5): Great location, amazing apartment in a beautiful city. - Great location, clean and excellent communication The stairs after a long day walking around town.
• Crissie (1/5): I wouldn’t recommend staying here. - Not suitable for families or seniors! This needs to be made clear on booking that the stairs are challenging, particularly with luggage. The location was good. That is the only positive thing we can say. The stairs are dangerous and the road noise from the street traffic was loud all night. We slept with a chair against the front door as it has only a single lock and I didn’t feel safe.
• Moira (7/5): Excellent and central accommodation. Lovely apartment just finer details need confirmed. - Central Convenient Clean Spacious No hot water in main shower day 1 Only water for 1 shower day 2 code for access was wrong. Had to ring up and find correct code. On leaving of course code was wrong and had to call again.
• Roman (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mark (9/5): A really relaxing stay in a very comfortable apartment in a great location. - Excellent location handy for city centre and public transport. Very comfortable and well equipped apartment. We couldn't get the cooker extractor hood to work, and had some difficulty getting hot water from bathroom shower. En-suite showed worked perfectly. A printed copy of procedures and instructions would have been useful as the Dack app seemed to lack this information. As a result we weren't sure what to do on checkout regarding bin, recycling and used bedding / towels.
• Louise (8/5): Pleasant but could have been great with more attention to detail - Location was excellent. Clean and spacious The stairs.. very steep and worn. Fine for those with mobility .. less so for those with mobility issues. The pillows were also in need of replacement. They were flat and lumpy. There was chipped crockery and the table in the kitchen had seen better days. That said, when we had an issue with the TV the help was instant and very good. Pump for the en suite toilet stopped working on the morning we left. I informed them and they were dealing with it as we left. Second shower room was not getting enough hot water to the shower even though the water from the sink tap was piping hot. Also no way of locking the door.
• Jake (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lucy (10/5): A lovely base if you’re wanting to explore Edinburgh but also want to be able to relax in a really comfortable and spaci - A spacious apartment in the heart of the theatre district - walking distance to old town, and a hop skip and jump to the mall for our teenagers. We loved the light, the space, the sofas, the comfy beds, and being able to get our laundry done! The shower water pressure was very weak.
• Beverley (7/5): Lovely spacious apartment could be so much better if reviews were sorted and not ignored - Spacious bright and good location and warm apartment couldn’t work out tv but staff sorted out the following day . Coffee machine not working ,unable to use showers (one too hot or cold )the other no hot water .only one wine glass ,dirty windows this has all been mentioned before in other reviews !!
• Alec (5/5): Passable -
• Christine (10/5): Very enjoyable. Beautiful apartment - Spacious, bright and warm and comfortable
• Julie (9/5): Superb - Beautiful apartment, literally 10 minute walk to the station. Steps are steep upto apartment, fine for us but can see how others would struggle.
• Mike (6/5): Great spacious apartment in a great location, just need to iron out a couple of the issues we experienced - The property was great, spacious and very welcoming and in a great location for our stay. We had a problem with the heating, which the management company were very efficient, in sorting out. The electric shower in the en-suite had hardly no pressure when turned to hot but luckily the shower in the man in bathroom was good. There were coffee pods left in the kitchen and a nice Duallit espresso machine which I was looking forward to having the coffee on the 1st morning. However, disappointingly the machine didn’t work! The apartment is on the 2nd floor, so up 2 flights of stone steps. Towards the top flight, these are work so just take care.
• Janine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claire (9/5): Superb -
• Marie (8/5): Lovely time, comfortable, clean apartment, gorgeous city - Beautiful apartment, spacious, bright No iron/ironing board Steep steps up to apartment
• Karen (9/5): Superb - Clean, great location, easy checkin, good value We couldn’t figure out the water temperature
• Andreas (9/5): Excellent choice for short stay in Edinburgh - Location✔️ Clean & comfortable ✔️ Narrow and steep stairs to get in
• Chloe (9/5): Superb - Excellent location for exploring the city on foot and very close to public transport. Very spacious and bright. It was fairly cold. Heating such a large apartment with such high ceilings can’t be easy. The welcome email said the heating would come on twice a day. Even when we had turned on the radiators we didn’t want to touch the boiler (as suggested in the welcome email) as there was something flashing on the display. I did message (as suggested) but there was no response. There were no extra blankets in the bedrooms either. We were out for a large part of each day but the apartment was fairly chilly to come back to in the evenings in mid October.
• Martyna (10/5): Exceptional - What a stunning apartment!!! Huge and beautifully decorated. Comfortable beds and sofas. The location is perfect, with buses and trams on the doorstep. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Nothing we didn't like at all.
• Mallory (9/5): Beautiful space in Edinburgh, would definitely stay again. - The property was located central enough for us. Very close proximity to shops and restaurants. The view from the property is Calton Hill. 10-15 minute walking distance from the train station. The property has a lot of room for a family with two teenagers. So happy to have a washer/dryer on property. The beds were comfortable. The only “con” is not having a power strip with usb ports, but that is nitpicking, mostly because our electrical converter broke, and other places we have stayed on our trip has had them, but like I said, not really a con, just nitpicking.
• Jo (8/5): Great location, great apartment - just beware of steps if you're not too fit! - The only thing which could have made our arrival a bit more comfortable would be a small welcome pack, including milk and 'full fat' coffee, rather than decaff! Very clean and comfortable, Public transport excellent, with a bus stop immediately outside the property. This made our trips easy and stress free. Plenty of nice eating places within easy walk. Feel that perhaps the access should be made a little clearer in the description. 50 uneven, spiral steps up to the property were manageable but not easy for two older ladies (one with two bad knees) with luggage. It's a little misleading to just say 'second floor'. However, we only did that once a day so it wasn't too bad. Some people would definitely struggle with them, and may have found them dangerous as they're not even, and the lighting isn't great. Impossible to adjust the volume on the TV! Otherwise, no complaints.
• Robyn (10/5): Fabulous apartment - Beautifully appointed, I loved the rounded bedroom door. Great location Too many stairs
• Graham (10/5): Exceptional - Great location to explore the city.
• Fotheringham (10/5): Exceptional -
• Khai (10/5): A very nice, comfortable and spacious apartment right next to Calton Hill - Very clean and spacious, near to lots of eateries
• Christoph (9/5): Superb -
• Theresa (9/5): Superb - Fantastic location, nice views, spacious and decorated finely. Unfortunately did not have internet access.
• Rachelle (10/5): Great stay, relaxing apartment and comfy - Great location, was a fabulous apartment very comfortable with 2 couples. Everything we needed was in the Apartment. Very modern apartment, I’d stay here again, very homey Nothing
• Jennifer (9/5): An outstanding, large and central apartment right in the heart of Edinburgh. - Windsor street apartments is a wonderfully bright, surprisingly large and well appointed apartment right in the heart of Edinburgh. Each bedroom is generous in size, with two bathrooms and laundry facilities. The kitchen is equipped with everything and more. It is a gem in the heart of Edinburgh, 5 min walk from Waverley station, trams, restaurants, sight seeing and theatres. We highly recommend. Keep in mind, due to the steepness of the staircase, this is not an apartment for anyone with mobility issues.
• Ian (9/5): Superb - Spacious apartment. En suite bathroom in one of the bedrooms - as well as the house bathroom. Art on the walls of the sitting room rather severe - rest of the decoration was lovely,
• Zheng (9/5): Superb -
• James (9/5): Home staycation. - Easily accessible to city.. Nil
• Wing (6/5): Pleasant - One of the bathroom is separated from the toilet and the toilet is extremely small. It is an inconvenient arrangement. The range hood is not connected and there is no exhaust fan in the kitchen. It could be dangerous to use the stove without opening the windows.
• Birgitt (9/5): Very spacious, very Clean, Always nice for a stay. - Lockbox was diffecould to find.
• Stephen (10/5): Incredible - Honestly, could not fault this place, incredible. Great location, very clean, modern and also very homely.
• Katie (10/5): Perfect accommodation; close to town, spacious & lovely flat. - Such a gorgeous and spacious apartment. Way bigger than the pictures look. Bedrooms really comfy, shower really good, lounge really relaxing perfect for families or friends. Lovely decor Location was perfect for Edinburgh, right by a bus stop & 10mins from station. Close to Old Town, Leith, restaurants & Carlton Hill. Really happy with the flat. Nothing negative to report. Few stairs to climb up but that’s pretty standard for Edinburgh & then being a flight up allows for beautiful views
• Rob (10/5): As regulars in Edinburgh this is one of the best flats we’ve stayed in. - Easy check in/out. Perfect location for the city centre without being too noisy. The windows are a massive plus. Everywhere is so airy and the flat is furnished fantastically. Not a thing.
• Retha (10/5): Exceptional - The flat is beautifully decorated and the location is great!
• Samantha (9/5): Superb - Great location, large apartment with plenty of space. Comfortable beds
• Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Neil (9/5): beautiful apartment in nice location - will stay again - great rooms and location the stairs and also smell of traps in main bathroom - I ran the water a few times and sorted this
• Sarah (8/5): Very good - Very spacious!!! Convenient location Clean! It would have been helpful to know that there are many steps up to the apartment on the second floor. For senior citizens it was difficult to go up and down with luggage.
• Linda (5/5): Mixed - apartment very spacious, very nice, neighborhood great. Host not so great. - The location is excellent, loved the neighborhood, parking garage a short walk (a big plus as on-street parking is difficult and expensive). The apartment is very spacious, huge rooms, light-filled, beautifully decorated and comfortable. One short block from neighborhood center and marvelous shops. When we arrived the apartment had not been cleaned and was a mess. This was, of course, an inconvenience as it was late in the day and we were tired from a long drive plus it was raining (of course). We did not consider this a fault of the host and within several hours a mixed array of sheets and towels arrived. We were given the choice to move elsewhere from Booking but chose to stay as we liked the apartment and the location and it was just easier. It was too late in the day to get the apartment cleaned and so we arranged through Booking to have someone come the next day - which did happen - a lovely woman, by the way, who did a fabulous job in short order and on short notice. She, of all the people we dealt with around the incident (ie., the host and Booking) was without question the most present, helpful, conscientious and willing. We never heard again from the host even though I left several messages. We thought he would check in the next day to make sure everything was ok - not a word - ever. That didn't sit well. A simple check-in after all the inconvenience plus after our having dealt with the situation without one word of complaint would have been not only nice but required (in my opinion). We were never offered any discount or adjustment of any kind. Just ignored. Also, the kitchen could have had some simple basics for cooking so you didn't have to buy from scratch - small oil & vinegar, etc.
• Iris (9/5): Beautiful apartment - The setting and location was amazing. Last tenants rubbish was left in apartment. One of the towels was stained. Bar over shower fell on my head. Apart from that we had a fantastic stay.
• Angie (7/5): More pros than cons! - Very spacious apartment (there were 4 of us)  The rustic atmosphere was cozy Comfortable family room with two couches and large TV Great location - many restaurants and a Tesco Express (small grocery store) within walking distance  One of the bedrooms has its own bathroom which is a bonus (in addition to the bathroom across the hall from both bedrooms)  Has most of the basics you would need in the kitchen, such as microwave, toaster, kettle, French press, espresso machine, fridge, freezer, oven/range, most cooking utensils Comfortable beds and pillows Bus stop right outside the front door Apartment is on the 2nd floor, with a long windy staircase that could be a challenge for some Some of the "basics" were missing: no remote for the bedroom TV (no way to adjust the volume), basic instructions on how to work the shower & light switches (wall switches in all the rooms operate various lights, water heater, etc. - switch for bathroom shower was in the bedroom which we discovered by accident after initially thinking the shower was defective; this should have been explained by the host)  Most light bulbs were out in the ceiling light in the bedroom Apartment was rather chilly (turning up the radiators did not help much), but blankets were adequate  Apartment is on a busy street and it was very noisy, even at night (one of the two bedrooms has shutters which helps)  A great experience overall, but there is ein for improvement. Would recommend/stay there again. 
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb - Very nice stay, the apartment has a lot of spaces and is well located in Edinburgh Make sure you’re used to the street noise as you are in the city center
• Noel (7/5): Location great,facilities need checking before new guests arrive and are disappointed. - Clean, spacious and light Kitchen area small, landing toilet was literally just a cupboard conversion with no ventilation. Dish washer didn’t work and bedroom tv’s didn’t have remotes so effectively couldn’t be used.
• Andrew (10/5): Great spot in Edinburgh - fantastic location and super comfortable! if you packed heavy suitcases the stairs will prove to be a good workout!
• Margaret (10/5): Exceptional 3-night Edinburgh stay during the fringe in sumptuous, capacious, beautifully-furnished and well-equipped ap - A really beautiful property, decorated and furnished sympathetically for its period, it was immaculate and extremely comfortable. It had everything you could have asked for. It had stunning views of Calton Hill. Nothing to mention here.
• Dorothy (7/5): Edinburgh is a beautiful city and the location of our apartment was good - The location was pretty good and the building itself is very beautiful Very noisy unfortunately. We couldn’t seem to work the dishwasher.
• Beatrice (10/5): 5* central apartment - The apartment was fantastic! The location is perfect, the size and space is more than what i was expecting. Very nice looking place and very clean. The thing i thought let down the apartment was not having hand soap in each bathroom and also small shower gel and shampoo bottles but thats me being picky
• Michael (6/5): Nice apartment, but if you have large cases, it's very hard getting up the stairs. - Clean and close to tourist attractions Stairs were awful. Toilet door didn't close. Couldn't get the water to the right temperature, in the shower. Have to park a long way away. Has good facilities in the kitchen.
• Lauri (8/5): Very good -
• Eidalia (8/5): Great spacious apartment and location. - Very spacious and clean. The bathrooms looked recently remodeled and the beds were comfy. The stairs were many. Just be aware.
• Lorraine (9/5): Would def stay again - Beautiful apartment, spacious,warm,lovely views,clean and tidy,everything you could need for a home away from home Flight of stairs was a bit tricky for elderly parents but I didn’t check the floor level when I booked, but plenty of safety rails on the way down! Couldn’t get the internet but not that important
• Jenny (9/5): Very Comfortable - Location Noise from street
• Nicole (10/5): Beautiful, large apartment. - Lovely apartment, very clean and equipped with everything you need. can be a bit noisy when the road is busy.
• Sukrit (9/5): Great property at reasonable price - The vintage feel of the apartment and the large amount of space available inside the house. The narrow staircases and the lack of lift. The non availability of lift was not mentioned clearly in the advertisement on booking.com
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was super, it made our stay even more enjoyable thank you. Love Edinburgh and hopefully will be back in the future. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Nothing at all to dislike x fabulous!!
• Youdhveer (7/5): Good -
• Theresa (10/5): Perfect, loved this property, will definitely come back ! - I would actually live in this apartment, myself and two friends adored the property, and will certainly book again, we had an amazing time in Edinburgh, I am back again next month with my sisters, and I hope it will be available to re book. Michael our host kept us informed all through the booking process. The host Michael kept us informed of access details, and made contact while we were there, can't fault this property, 2 minutes walk from the Balmoral Hotel, I love this place. Everything was perfect, ignore the reviews about the noise, it's a city, what else can you expect? Loved the vibrancy.
