the location was perfect for us, we only had two days to run around Edinbrough and this gave us the perfect location to explore the royal mile and the Edinbrough Castle. We loved the beds and the living room area, plenty of room for all of us

This apt was beautifully appointed and right in the middle of all the sights. Many restaurants to choose from and easy walking to a convenience store or grocery for necessary items. The ability to be able to leave your luggage before and after your stay is a valuable asset. Would highly recommend this property

Amazing location and the apartment was everything as described. Each room was separated with very heavy automatically closing fire door, so it was very hard for our children to open them or navigate through the apartment themselves. Would stay here again if there was door stops available, or when the children are older.

Have stayed there before and chose to come back. The only major issue was that in the apartment we had this time the internet connection was very poor. In some rooms it worked, barely, but in others there was no connection at all. Maybe a larger number of coffee-pods would have been nice (six people, four nights). We ran out of kitchen paper but we spoke to the very nice cleaning lady and got some more. In all other aspects we were very happy with the stay.

Understandably there were no bottles of scotch in the cupboard. But then again, where were we? 😁 However, Some oil for cooking, and topping up the salt and pepper would help. Otherwise, a lovely high tech comfortable place in the heart of everything. Thank you

Location was perfect, easy to get to from Waverly. Apartment was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. A few cons, the bed in the onsuite room was awful, you could feel every spring in the mattress. It bowed so bad that you felt like you were going to fly out of it everytime you moved. There were also no plugs in the bathrooms which made it difficult to use the hair dryer.
