The appartement was very clean and the beds were all set up when we arrived. Beds were so confortable it makes our stay very « Hygge ».
I strongly advise this rent to visit Edinburgh. The access from the airport is easy thanks to the tramway, and going to tje Murrayfield stadium was easy.
Clean, well equipped kitchen. Easy to find the apartment, directions were very simple. Stairs were no problem, well lit and wide enough when carrying luggage. Lovely to sit on the window seats and people warch on the Royal Mile! As other reviews have stated, the WiFi doesnât reach the back bedroom (king bed). Also, we ended up having to work some each day and the overall WiFi speed was less than 5 mbps up / 1 mbps down so when two of us tried to work and have teams calls at the same time, we had some issues, and video calls were definitely out. Would definitely stay here again if we didnât need to work!
Excellent place to stay- fantastic location, spotlessly clean with everything you could need, great to have option of airbed to use. Lovely welcome basket too- highly recommend
Location was great. We were not able to pull up to the loft to unload because itâs on a pedestrian-only section of the street so itâs blocked off. Master bed is hard as a 2x4. But otherwise was a super pleasant stay. Kitchen was well equipped. The window seats were my favorite to sit in each night and watch people below.
Amazing location! Easy to walk to everything we wanted to see around the city. The apartment was clean and well stocked. The parking space for the apartment was a 15 min walk away and we were able to drop our luggage off before we parked.
What a great location! Stairs are a bit tough but the location makes up for it. Washer was handy and everything was so close, hop on hop off, castle and museum's handy
If you want to be at the heart of it all in Edinburgh at the busiest time and within a short walk to the Military tatoo at the castle then this is your place. You can look down on lawnmarket to performers and thousands of people. Location is a 5 but youâll also hear the drunks empty the bars at 2AM. Well known bar 2 doors down. Had a problem at check in. I requested a slightly early entry and was informed it was ready. I open code to the key lock and no key! I slightly panicked thinking someone on the street may have gotten the code and was in the appt. At same time a renter or owner entered and I followed him up. I knocked on the appt door and the man cleaning it came to door and said he was done. He gave me a key that was to be in the lock. He also was not really completed as he had not swept the main rug or floor in the main room. The bathroom and bedrooms were clean. I told Derek what had happened and he apologized for the mix up but I was about 20 min early to the check in time so I wrote off the mix up and we enjoyed our stay. Derek was kind and on top of all communication Given the prime time of our visit I felt the cost was higher than I would normally pay. Oh.. one more think. Donât waste your money at The Witchery just a block away close to castle. Took my wife there for her birthday. Waste of money. Highly overrated and way too pricey. Had to send a filet back and the table service by our waitress was the worst. She went on a half hour break in the
We loved this place! It was so fun to look out our window and watch the buskers and hear the Tattoo. It was great to walk downstairs and see the mile in the AM and PM when most of the tourists had left. That said, it was crowded and loud right outside during the day. We had windows open because of the summer heat and the noise at night wasn't bad or constant, but did wake us up occasionally. Space was great, host was great, location was perfect if you want to be right in the mix of central Edinburgh!
It was clean, comfortable and a great location, easy to access. A convenient location for touring all the sites of Edinburgh. We walked from the Palace to Holyrood House to the botanical gardens back thru Deans village and ALL in between!!!!
Spacious rooms, great window seats to take in the sights & people on the streets below. Well equipped for all of our needs. The owner was very nice, gracious & quick to respond to our questions while planning the trip & arriving. We greatly appreciated that. The views of the St Giles Cathedral while at the window seats, is a memory we will carry with us forever & just amazing at night. Perfect location for walking everywhere & bus stops, pubs, eateries, shops, all close by. We hope to return one day.
The apartment and location were great. The information on the apartment should include that it is on the second floor and no elevator.Also should have been advised about construction on the street.
We enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect location for exploring. The window seats were an amazing place to enjoy a cup a coffee and watch the city come to life.
The flat on Lawnmarket was excellent for a small family, with a great view and incredible location in Old Town. The property manager was very clear and communicative before the stay. We'd certainly stay there again!
The location was pretty amazing. Right in the midst of the Royal Mile. The flat was simple and nice. Truly the location is the draw. Edinburgh was our last stop after a week plus of driving through Scotland. Much of our trip was cold and wet. But Edinburgh was sunny and pretty hot. The flat has no air conditioning or fans. A breeze can come in through the windows, but it's still pretty hot. We also has road construction right out front. Which was fine, but with open windows, it got pretty loud. Again, a nice location for us to be able to walk out into the thick of things. We parked our car and didn't take it out again until we left.
Booking this place would first be due to itâs location.Included nice little touches by the owners (cookies, tea, coffee).Bed comfort is OK, but beware of the sharp wood corners.Wifi does not reach the far end bedroom.Bathroom is functional but quite cramped.It is located next to a popular bar, so know that it will be a loud street late in the evening on Friday and Saturday.

"As a family we have used self catering properties around the world for our own holidays and know how important it is to make sure that when you arrive you are not disappointed with your choice of holiday accommodation. The two main areas of disappointment that we have found are location and standard!
The apartments that we offer are situated in Edinburgh's no 1 historic tourist street being the Royal Mile and Grassmarket areas. Our apartments are maintained and cleaned to a very high standard exactly as we would want to find ourselves when going on holiday.
