The apartment is centrally located on the Royal Mile with a great view of the Royal Mile. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It is close to great restaurants and shops. The only down size were the 34 spiral steps up to the apartment. It was a bit of a challenge with two large suitcases. Shahid the host was very attentive and responsive. Overall, this was a wonderful apartment and stay. Thank you Shahid for a memorable stay.

Host was amazing!!! Responded to all of my questions almost immediately. Amenities were top notch. Apartment was beautiful, clean and roomy. The washer/dryer and dishwasher were added bonuses. Location was incredible right on the Royal Mile. This was my first time ever using a Vrbo and it won’t be my last.
