We were thrilled upon our arrival that the apartment was just as advertised, no surprises! We were travelling with our adult children and there was more than enough room for the six of us to stay comfortably. We enjoyed being in the midst of all the shops/pubs/grocery facilities, and within walking distance of the main attraction-Edinburgh Castle, and yet there was no noise coming from the busy street. The host was very patient with the computer issues I had (which delayed receiving their payment within the scheduled time frame) are and their responses were always quick and very kind. If we are ever lucky enough to make this trip again, I wouldn’t look at any order accommodations. Great job!

Location was great. In the heart of activity and easy walking distance to most attractions. The communications were all clear and prompt and the rental process was easy. The washing and drying machine didn't work well...the clothes just wouldnt dry. Our biggest issue was that we specifically searched for property with 3 king size beds and paid significantly higher price of this flat to have king beds. The beds were double size which is big deal for us given the size of the men in our group.

The location is excellent for the Royal Mile. Everything we needed and wanted was a sort walk away.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2025
Overall we had a good stay and it is right in the heart of the Royal mile. Stashing the luggage was a hassle and no earlier check ins were available while are luxurious you give up. I will say the place looked like the photos. Don’t depend on the washing machine, it’s very difficult to figure out and after hours of drying, our clothes were still wet. Check out instructions were confusing, I recommend having a little house guide to help with these questions as the responses were only through email rather than Vrbo which made it difficult to keep finding an email to send questions to.
