Location of this spot is 100% perfect for Edinburgh. It is directly on the Royal Mile with easy access to all of the must see sites. Apartment was clean and well appointed upon arrival. Host was very accomodating and quick to communicate throughout the process. There is some city noise at night but that is to be expected given the location close to bars and restaurants. Have stayed here twice now and would not hestitate to do so again.

You couldn’t get a better view of the royal mile. Location of the flat is central and perfectly situated. Shops, busses and taverns are all within a comfortable walking distance. Edinburgh castle is a 15 min walk. The flat itself has all amenities. It’s quite spacious and extremely well maintained. Very clean smelling. Comfortable seating, space for everyone to sit. The window seats are my favourite.Our host was very pleasant and answered all my questions. He returned calls in a timely manner. This was our first time renting a flat but it won’t be our last. No more stuffy hotels for us.

The loft was fantastic and we enjoyed all the amenities it offered. The window seats were great along with the open windows and listening to the sounds of the city. The loft even had a diffuser for the blow-dryer! As someone with curly hair, this never happens and was pleasant surprise. We LOVED our time at this location and HIGHLY recommend it.

Amazing location! The windows overlooking the Royal Mile with bench seats were great. We spent a lot of time sitting there and watching all the action down below. We saw bagpipers, singers, street performers, weddings, a church procession - all in just three days! When you want to go out, you walk right out in the middle of the action from your front door. If you are planning on doing any laundry, there is a washing machine, but no electric dryer. Instead there is a plug-in drying rack. Location is perfect. Easy walk from Waverly Train Station and everything in Old Town is walkable. Our family of 4 loved every bit of our stay.
