Great location, lovely and spacious accommodations!

Great apartment. Airy and spacious and just an all around comfortable place to hang out when we weren’t out and about. Great kitchen and living room spaces, especially. It was an easy walk to the royal mile and other Edinburgh sights, and close to one of the Fringe locations. It’s in a small alley next to several yummy restaurants, so there was a bit of noise from bottles being tossed at the end of the night as well as one early morning trash pickup. My kids slept through it, though, so I didn’t mind too much. Otherwise, we found it pretty quiet, calm, and safe-feeling. Would definitely stay again!

I had to wait 11/2 hours at Keynest as I was given an incorrect code
