Edinburgh Getaway
The apartment was beautifully decorated, spacious and quiet. There was plenty of room for our group of six older adults and we appreciated having the extra half bath downstairs. The location has easy access to restaurants and small neighborhood markets to pick up a few needed items. We enjoyed our time there very much!

Great apartment and location.
Great stay with everything you need. The apartment is lovely and in a great location. Very clean too. Near lots of restaurants. Highly recommend the Magnum up the road but do book in advance. Just 2 extra points to be aware of, there are lots of stairs up to the apartment and parking is free on weekends but through the week it's pay to park.

Perfect location
While generally our stay in the apartment was quite enjoyable I do have a few comments: At checkin we noticed the absence of toilet paper and dishwasher soap while this was remedied the next day, it was a little off putting The kitchen is quite well equipped at first sight, but it looks like the cups and mugs are more the leftover after many breakages, so there was no complete set. With regard to the cutlery there were no knives for cutting and preparing meals (even if we found a knife sharpener and a bread knife). So, preparing meals become quite complex… The living room couches were quite worn and could use a refresh. We were told we could only have one set of keys, which is not the most flexible arrangement for a group of adults. We used the outdoor key lock, but I did not find that very comforting Imagine our surprise when cleaning staff showed up on Saturday in the apartment one full day before our scheduled move out (caused by an alleged snafu in systems we were told…) None of the above prevented an enjoyable stay, but they took away a little of the shine.

Graduation Weekend
After 4 years at the Unioversity of Edinburgh, my family and I travelled up to attend my son's graduation ceremony. The flat was in an excellent location for the university, restaurents and pubs/bars. The flat itself was lovely, a classic New Town property. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all generously sized, as was the sitting room. The property was all we wished for and more, I could not reccommend this proeprty enough.

As a family of 5 we were very comfortable here. It was exactly as described with nice views and a great location that was very walkable. Wish we could have stayed longer to explore the Stockbridge area.

Spacious and convenient
Our family group of 6 truly enjoyed our stay. The home had plenty of space for us. Having two full bathrooms plus an extra toilet meant nobody had to wait for the bathroom! The location in New Town was walkable to Waverly Station as well as plenty of shops and restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet and very safe. Highly recommend!

Perfect location for family to enjoy the city
Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh. The beds, bedding, showers and all furnishings were very comfortable. The steps were challenging at times but also gave us more exercise. We did not use the kitchen much but it seemed to be well equipped for cooking. Nice location to walk to many great destinations.

Glorious flat
This was exactly what we wanted for a family vacation in Edinburgh. Great location a block from Tesco and a short walk to the Royal Mile, Castle and all the rest. 3+ meter high ceilings, large comfy living room. Three big bedrooms with two beautiful bathrooms. An old property, the living and dining rooms have apparently original, now decorative, fireplaces. Separate washer and dryer are better than the standard multipurpose European laundry unit. Drip and Nespresso coffee makers in the flat. Possibly the most beautiful flat I’ve stayed in as a VRBO. Be mindful of the four flights of stairs up to the flat, but it was definitely worth it and I had two 70+ seniors with me.

Great Location but lots of stairs!
Propriety was as described and in a great location. Parking was a bit of a pain but that’s an Edinburgh thing and not unique to this property. There’s lots of stairs up to the property so if you are travelling with a lot of bags be aware.

Such a lovely location and a stunning spacious apartment. For those not so good on their feet it is 3 flights up the stairs and no lift. Had a great stay and the quality of the accommodation added to it. Shout out to Karen who was really helpful in organising key collection and advising on parking and was genuinely lovely. Highly recommend

Family vacation
Property is terrific. Very well located. Walking distance from lots of restaurants and attractions. The neighborhood is very quiet. Very well appointed and maintained. The apartment is on the third floor. So be aware its five flights of stairs. It’s a good exercise but for older guests it can be challenging, especially with luggage. The internet was quite patchy. It didn’t bother us as we were looking to relax but if you are looking to stream movies or do zoom calls the internet may be quiet weak for that. We loved the place and would highly recommend it. Location and ambiance of the apartment are first rate.

Idyllic Townhome in New Town Edinburgh
This townhouse is idyllic and the location is perfect. Walkable to many attractions, restaurants, and grocery stores. Nice quiet neighborhood. Rooms are very spacious and easily accommodated six adults. Kitchen had all the amenities. Karen, our contact person for our stay is wonderful. Very quick to response to requests and offered local inside knowledge of the area. If you are looking for a place to stay in Edinburgh, the New Town townhouse is perfect. I hope to return next year.
