Central to everything. Within walking distance to the castle and the grass market. Convenience store on the next corner. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
AustraliaThe location was fantastic. Very close to the Grassmarket area, lots of cafés nearby and a grocery store around the corner. The apartment was spacious, clean and very well stocked. The smart TV made it simple to put stuff on for the kids and the washing machine was a lifesaver for us.
SwedenGood central location, a lovely apartment with everything you need for self catering.
United KingdomLocation is convenient, close to everything from grocery store, places to go, to coach station (Waverley). Place is comfortable for our family of four adults, we each have our own bed, which is something we hoped for. Decent size with great kitchen and ensuite laundry. Will stay again if we visit Edinburgh. Staff offers to store luggage for us before check-in, which is very helpful.
CanadaLocation was great. It wasn’t too noisy. We really appreciated the various teas and the bottle of milk in the fridge and that there was hand wash in each bathroom. The facilities all worked and we didn’t have any problems.
