Lovely apartment. Clean, fresh, spacious, well-equipped, and brilliant location for sites and for food. Also very useful to be able to have somewhere to leave luggage if arriving or leaving later than check-out time. Recommend full-heartedly, but beware… no lift!!

The apartment was fantastic. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfortable and spacious. The communal areas were smart and well maintained. Great central location. My apartment was at the rear and had a Castle view which was wonderful. There was very little noise from the other apartments. An added bonus was having access to the building before and after check in and out for leaving luggage. Highly recommended!

Overall very good, good communication, clean, spacious and well equipped. Fantastic location. 8 minute walk to Royal Mile, 10 minute walk to Festival Theatre. Our apartment was on the side looking over a side street which unfortunately was noisy until late into the night. We did stay fri-monday so being a weekend maybe nosier

We had a wonderful stay in this very charming and spotlessly clean apartment. It is strategically located, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city on foot. The apartment was perfect for the two of us, spacious, well equipped with everything we needed, and exceptionally clean.
The team made everything super smooth for me and my husband from start to finish. A special mention to Elizabeth, who manages the building, she was very helpful and accommodating, and her thoughtful recommendations truly made our stay feel extra special. She also checked in on us to make sure we felt at home, which we really appreciated.
Just a small note for future guests: there are stairs, so it may be something to consider if you’re carrying large luggage or have knee problems. It wasn’t an issue for us at all. Overall, we highly recommend this apartment and would happily stay again.
