A near perfect vacation! Yes there really are 68 steps, but was not an issue. A small price to pay for this super clean apartment, this location, and this group of people to work with! Every question was handled perfectly. They went far above and beyond in helping us get the most out of our week in Edinburgh. Apartment was very comfortable and clean. Location is near perfect. Will definitely stay here again on next visit!!

This apartment is in a great location for exploring old town. Beware there are stairs!! The queen bed was great, the king bed was terrible - hard as a rock.

The property management was great. Very responsive and communicative, but you have to meet with them to get inside the first time, fyi. The place was clean and well cared for and the location is just spectacular.
