Quaint studio apartment/flat. Basic accomodations. Enjoyed the breeze on the balcony each night. Appreciated the washer/dryer but would have benefited from instructions. This flat has 57 steps up a spiral stairwell. Of note for those with mobility issues and/or heavy luggage.

Great location in the heart of Grassmarket with numerous restaurants, shops and groceries nearby and the Castle as your view. You need to be in decent shape to navigate suitcases on the hilly route from Waverly and up the circular stairs within the building. We used it as home base for a series of day trips around the region. Full kitchen with everything we needed and great washing machine/dryer. Surprisingly quiet at night. Communication with Barry before and during the rental was prompt and helpful. We loved it!

Perfect location! Right in the heart of the old town with a great view of the castle, yet the apartment is still quiet.- The apartment showed heavy signs of wear. The mattress was also very soft and saggy.
