Not as described
Inaccurate/misleading listing & lack of cleanliness detracted from our stay.Positives -Barry was always quick to respond, including arranging repairs to the gas boiler (so we had hot water) on a Sunday.Apartment is within easy walking distance to most POI.The area is nice & quiet with very little street noise.Negatives -Listing inaccuracyParking; there is no On-site parking as listed at the time of our stay (I note this has been updated since our stay). The street parking is a Max. 4 hours during the day, or for Permit Holders (the spaces were full most of the time by Permit Holders) so this is not really a genuine option. The Castle Terrace Carpark is only a few hundred meters away (cost 36GBP/day).Living Area; the Photo Gallery has two separate photos titled "Living Area" as well as other photos of the bedrooms suggesting a separate living area. The reality is that the living area is the sofa bed & low table in one of the bedrooms (I guess if I had studied the photos more closely, I would have worked out that the "Living Area" photos were just close ups of the sofa bed).As four adults travelling around the UK by car for several weeks, onsite parking & living space were important factors in choosing where to stay. To find that neither of these were there was very disappointing.Cleanliness;The entry into the building is quite run down & dark.We had to clean inside the washing machine before using.The bathroom had several areas of mould & an unpleasant odour.

Can't beat the location!
My husband and I, along with our three children (14,12,9) stayed here for four nights as we exlpored Ediburgh. It's a lot of walking and up-hill to the castle (Royal Mile) but you can't beat the location. Flat offered a warm place to sleep with comfy beds and hot water. It was nothing fancy but just what we needed.

We were going to be in Edinburgh for 3 days with no car. This place was close enough to walk from the train station , to the castle, royal mile, old town, new town, Deans Village, Arthur’s seat All of it was in easy reach! There was a full kitchen and a convenience store type market just on opposite side of block.

Five nights at this flat. Good communication with Barry. Flat is walkable to many neighborhoods which is an asset. Entryway to building needs a facelift, but the flat is well maintained and comfortable. We would stay here again.

Great Location, with quirks
The location of this flat is fantastic - cannot be beat. It is quiet and easy to reach. The flat itself is fine. It could be cleaner (e.g., hairs on the ironing board under the bed) and the shower cycled from hot to cold on its own. Overall, the flat is a good place to stay due to the location.

Cozy stay by the Scottish high street
Super clean like a hotel. really comfortable and well maintained. really good location with a nice little pub right next door that plays live music. Not a good place if you can't do stairs though as there are a couple of narrow flights that are challenging with a suitcase and no lift up. But otherwise we loved our stay there and would definitely book again

Needs a good scrub
40 narrow steep spiral steps to get to room. A big ask to take suitcases up. Although the place is very old, overall needs a good scrub especially inside the mugs. No tea towels or scourer for saucepans and pans.

Excellent location!
This apartment is located conveniently in the city center, walking distance to all major attractions, great restaurants and walking distance to both train stations (Haymarket and Waverley). The owners of this apartment run a very organized and professional operation. They were excellent with communication and quickly responsive to questions, needs and or concerns. The beds were comfortable and the apartment had all of the necessary amenities. It was a good value all around.

Very central property with easy access to town centre and surrounding areas. The property was spacious however one of the double sockets is loose (please do not use) and the iron had wires exposed when went to use it also do not use, plus the plug extension had wires exposed.

We had an amazing trip to Edinburgh, our apt was in the perfect area for us. A few blocks from the convention center, and an easy walk to the grass market and the royal mile. We did a lot of exploring the city and day trips as well. We both said we would be back to edinburgh and would stay at this apt if it was available.

The property was well located close to restaurants,cafes and grocery stores. Short walking distance to the castle and other sites. The main bathroom toilet wasn’t working but there was a back up. He was getting someone in to repair it. Entranceway a bit shabby looking but the apartment itself was clean and bright

Close to everything
We stayed in Edinburgh the first week of July in this wonderfully located second floor flat. The apartment is located in a building on a quiet street at the base of Castle Hill just outside of the Grass Market area. The location couldn't have been better for the sites we wanted to see. Scottish Museum of Modern Art, Scottish Natural History Museum, Stockbridge, The Royal Mile, Princes Garden, The Scott Memorial, Scottish National Museum, many shops and restaurants were all within a 20 minute walk. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Even though it is in the city center, it was quiet-no street noise or noise from the neighborhood businesses. The large windows opened to let in the breeze and the temperature was comfortable without needing any A/C. The apartment is on the second floor and accessed only by stairs (two flights up). The lobby space is a shared space and typical of urban apartment buildings (narrow and somewhat dark). Don't let that put you off-the apartment is light and airy and the neighbors we met were friendly. Barry was very responsive to my communications-even when communicating was a challenge (US cellphones in the UK-Argh). Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent location, great communication
The apartment was clean and as described. I communicated with the owner before and during the stay and he responded very quickly and courteously. It is in a fantastic location with a quick walk to the Castle and the Royal Mile as well as the Grassmarket area. I would gladly return here if I am lucky enough to travel to Edinburgh again.

Perfect for party of 4, couple of niggles
Good sized flat for 4. Any more and we would've felt cramped. Minor issues: 1, Flat is around the corner from 3 strip clubs. Wasn't great walking past with almost teen aged children. Clients and scantily clad staff smoking outside. 2, On second night came into communal stairs to a beast of a dog who was barking aggressively at kids as we made our way up staircase. Dog made us walk down backwards on staircase from 1st floor, barking at us all the way. Owner, who stank of booze apologised and left building. Thankfully did not see either of them again. Apart from this everything else was fine. No bowls for kids cereals in kitchen was strange as they have all other crockery & cutlery. Posts and pans a little grimy however. Had Netflix available. And freeview on all 3 televisions. Location was very good too.

Light and Airy in a fab location- the perfect stay!
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely flat in Edinburgh! The location was amazing; 5-10 minute walk from Princes St and tucked in a lovely area beside the castle. Check in was easy and the flat is spacious, light and clean, with lovely bedding and towels. 6 of us stayed and found all the beds comfy, with plenty of room and storage, and the sofa bed very spacious in comparison to what you'd normally expect! The kitchen has everything you might need, with a nice little welcome pack and dining room incase you want to cook and eat in! There are loads of fab restaurants and bars near by but the flat is still quiet! Host was really really great with communication, and even offered advice and a late checkout. There are lots of reviews that mention the staircase being a bit dingy- some new lightbulbs would fix this but it's to be expected in a shared entrance! overall- we had a FAB stay and were sad to leave!
