The apartment was perfect for our needs. My only problem was with the gentleman that met us there to give keys and go over the apartment. He said there were no instructions for the washing machine and he didn't know how to use it. He made it sound like the furnace was the water heater and that could have been a miscommunication but he did call it the water heater and there were written instructions so he said he was sure we would figure it out. After a day of realizing the water was hot always we figured it out that was for the furnace. He could have been a lot clearer and we spoke the same language. Not sure how it would have worked out for someone not speaking English. Oh, and we did find the washing machine manual in a cupboard. Other than unclear instructions the place was perfect for our needs.

You are very central but in the night it is very quiet and it is very cosey. The appartment is very small, but you have everything you need for a city trip. You also have a kitchen with an electric cooker (induction) with 2 hot plates, an oven and a fridge. So you can make your breakfast with coffee (manual percolator).
You can reach the mainattracion on foot in 15-20 Minutes, there are also bus stops near to the appartment.
It is a nice appartment when you stay there for Sightseeing and you don‘t stay anytime in the room (because it is small)

Apt 14 - Extraordinary highs and a few lows
On the positive side the apartment was extraordinary. Spacious with high ceilings, filled with grand yet comfortable furnishings, and equipped with a full modern kitchen with a full range of appliances including a clothes washer and (sort of) dryer, it was almost the perfect apartment for us. Plus the location can't be beat as the building sits on the corner of the Royal Mile and the North Bridge (a short walk from the train station and midway between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood).
There were however a few downsides. The first was the aforementioned ventless dryer. We've dealt with them before so we knew the limitations - basically you need to 'half bake' the clothes then leave them out overnight to dry. The second was that we could only get one window to open - in the worst heatwave ever to hit Scotland. Third were the beds which were by far the softest ones we've ever encountered - you sleep with head and feet far above your middle. Lastly, the check-in process is rather bizarre as someone you've never met nor communicated with leads you to and around your apartment.
All that said, I would definitely stay here again for a shorter 1-3 night visit to Edinburgh. The apartment is just so beautiful and convenient that the shortcomings can be overlooked.

Beautiful, bright, modern and comfortable apartment. We got quite a bit of noise from the street (ambulances) and pubs on Thursday and Friday night in particular. However, we really liked the location close to the park and the castle! Great drinks, food and service at Innis+Gunn too!

넓직한 아파트,거실 방두개,욕실 주방 모두 넖고 편안했다.
고풍스럽고 깔끔한 인테리어.주방조리기구들과 온갖 소스와 커피종류.식기류 모두 훌륭했다.
탐나는 것들이 많았을정도였다
주인이 우리를 위해
우유와 와인 ,예쁜 후리지아 생화도 장식해놓았었다
특히나 관광지인 에든버러성을 방과 거실에서 측면으로 감상할수 있는 뷰도 좋았다.
에든버러성 입구까지 왼쪽으로걸어서 1분거리.
관광투어버스의 정거장은 우측으로 걸어서 1분거리.
그럼에도 조용하고 편안했다
편의점 테스코도 가까웠다

I am looking for an apartment, which must having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, because we are group in 4ppls (2 family). The description in Expedia is showing (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms). However, the fact is only (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 toilet). It is totally a trick.
The pictures on Expedia shows the apartment is quite new and in good condition. But the fact is the amenities are very old. Nearly all the door knobs are damaged. The apartment do not have microwave oven. The radiators are uncontrollable. The light bulb over the dining table is burnt out. You will have your meal in dim. No kitchen towel provided. The only one bathroom is big but the radiator cannot work, we freeze when showering, and the water pressure is low, you don’t feel you have clean your body.

Bel appartement avec vue sur le château
Bel appartement, très bien situé dans la vieille ville avec vue sur le château d EDIMBOURG. Mais problème de literie avec un lit en mauvais état et un lit canapé peu confortable et brillant.
A noter que ce n est pas un hôtel mais un appartement dans une résidence (comme un airbnb...).

The bed is like a rock and after 3 days, I left in intense pain and I enjoy camping! Barely slept between the noise of buses/trucks on the road outside on the cobblestone streets and people buzzing the room every night at 2 am to get in to a different room. The location is great but that is the only advantage of this place but saying that, the amount of drunk people on the street coming out of the pub next door negates that. Everything is small and cramped but clean. Won’t stay again, especially at that price. Hostel would have been quieter and cheaper!

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, we arrived at the flat at 9pm when checking in after a delay to our flight. Katie went out of her way in the freezing cold and stood and waited for us. She then explained everything all to us and made us feel very welcome. The apartment itself was extremely comfortable and had all we needed including a washing machine, airer, fridge etc...

Four go Christmas shopping and socialising.
We had a very enjoyable 2-night stay at 5 Chessell Court over 14th-16th December. The apartment is in an ideal location just off the Royal Mile and a five minute walk from Waverley Station.
We all found the apartment very spacious, very clean and comfortable. Being in a courtyard it is very quiet and it really is location, location, location. There are numerous excellent amenities in the direct local area without having to go the other side of Waverley and Princes Street.
The apartment is a lovely place to while away an evening after the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping and following a meal in one of the many handily-located eateries. We cooked breakfast in the excellently equipped kitchen.
Communication prior to and greeting on arrival were very good - overall a fabulous stay and we will be back!
A hidden gem.
