Booked a comfort double, got a 2 bed apartment in the basement, so review is based on that. Good: well appointed with solid build and craftsmanship with furniture and decor in as-new condition. Comfy bed, great bathroom and shower, spacious lounge diner. Bad: bedrooms themselves are tiny so cases had to be opened and unpacked in the living area. No elevator but stairs are steep, narrow and winding. Basement room looked out on a wall and was noisy with traffic and tram

Pretty Good

The apartment we stayed in was great. We especially loved being able to make breakfast every morning. It was clean, well-maintained, and communication for the most part was good. We did call the "emergency" after-hours number a couple of times but no one answered. Emails were answered quickly, though, even on the weekend. As others have said, the location is quite loud. On our final night, there were crews working on the street right below our windows at two in the morning. Earplugs allowed us to go back to sleep. Note: there is no lift, which means trekking up three flights of stairs if you're on the second floor. Two suggestions: have better washer-dryer combo instructions available since even by searching the model #, it's impossible to find them online. Second, a couple of extra throws or blankets.

This property is very spacious and conveniently located. We reserved his twice as part of our trip inbound and outbound purposely for the washer/dryer. Instructions even on the app are not clear to travelers that do not utilize all in one machines. Overall the property is clean with lots of amenities.

We enjoyed our stay. Clean, spacious apartment, separate bedrooms with darkening blinds. Great location so close to the transportation, airport express bus, train station, grocery, restaurants. Walking distance to all the major points of interest. Keyless entry is very convenient. Full kitchen with a dining area. Left a few suggestions to the management on some cosmetic improvements but overall - no issues. Highly recommending!

Beautiful apartment with modern conveniences. Based in Haymarket, we could walk to delicious restaurants around the block and fun shopping minutes away. Felt very safe, although we always felt safe in Scotland. We would stay here again!

Overall, Destiny Scotland -Distiller's House was quite nice. Very nice neighborhood. About 15-20 minute walk to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Lots of nearby restaurants and other services. I'm from the US. It's unusual to rent a place and have zero physical interaction with anyone at all. I was emailed a door access code, both for the front security door and our room. We were on the 3rd fld a fair climb. Also,)

An extraordinary regal decorated lobby and adjunct rooms worthy of a Hollywood set. The room was one of the smallest in which I have ever stayed yet comfortable and all amenities however the shower/tub is incomplete and allows for water spray all over.

Easy and comfortable

After a long day of traveling it was very nice to be able to get in so easily. Very clean and comfortable. Only thing I would suggest is to have a hair dryer available, unless I just couldn’t find it.

A home away from home

What a wonderful stay! Right by the tram and bus station! Right outside the royal mile. Far enough from all the tourist hustling and bustling, but close enough to walk to most of the attractions. About 15 minute walk to the castle and the royal mile. We will be coming back! The apartment is very clean, very well stoked with washer, dishwasher, fridge, pots and pans, silverware and dinnerware. Beautiful and quiet. We got a one bedroom apartment and had more than enough space for the two of us. I’d say, this size apartment would be very well suited for a family. There are several great places where locals go to eat and drink. Loved the Jolly Botanist bar and restaurant. Highly recommend!

The best stay of my 3 country vacation

A wonderful stay at an apartment that quickly felt like home. Everything was immaculately clean, the linens fresh, and the bed very comfortable. I'll take this over a hotel room any day of the week. Also - the little things like a kettle and a Nespresso were a welcoming touch.
