The house was very comfortable. It was easy to receive the keys and our stay here was great. We used Uber to travel to the city center and it was very reasonable. A lovely little neighborhood.

Heather, United States of America

Great location, the suburb of Morningside has lots of lovely shops and cafes. The flat was quiet, spotless and really comfortable.

Cranky100, United Kingdom

Friendly welcome, warm spacious clean very well equipped apartment, big comfortable beds, wifi, lots of extra homely touches like a throw, tea lights, rugs on floors, some tea bags and instant coffee and biscuits. It is a perfect location for our needs.

Mary, United Kingdom

The beds were so comfortable and had feather filled pillows if you wanted them , the apartment was nice and warm as well

Samantha, United Kingdom

Lovely big comfortable beds! Location suited our needs perfectly as we were visiting son who is at university and living nearby - a reasonable choice of places to eat nearby and a Waitrose at the end of the street. Well equipped, comfortable apartment. Some nice touches - like fluffy towels and complimentary slippers.

Stephanie, United Kingdom

The apartment was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. In a great location with on a quiet street with good shops, bars and restaraunts close by and easy bus into the centre. Helpful host was waiting for us, so access was very easy. Really lovely apartment.

Karen, United Kingdom

Steven was great and showed us about the different things in the apartment he was very helpful answered all questions we asked. If staying in Edinburgh we would stay there again and would highly recommend this apartment

Jolaine, Australia

Violet Bank Apartment Morningside was everything we needed. It was in a quiet road with the high street full of essential shops and the city 20 mins away by bus. We met Steven at the apartment and collecting the keys was quick and easy. The apartment was clean and well kept with comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and clean bathroom. There's a Waitrose 2 mins away so don't worry if you forget something at home. I would recommend this apartment for those looking to explore Edinburgh as it's a great location.

Vanessa, United Kingdom

The apartment was ideal - fully equipped kitchen meant that would could self-cater our few days in Edinburgh. Lovely, clean and comfortable. Although a large apartment block it was very quiet. Morningside is a lovely suburb of the city , plenty of nearby interesting shops and cafes , Waitrose just round the corner. Easy access to city by bus or car - none of the stress and hassle of staying in the city centre.

Stephanie, United Kingdom

It was quiet and the garden was a good bonus. The atmosphere of the apartment was welcoming and calm.

Our apartment is situated in a privately owned 1930's apartment block. Renovated in 2012 we have tried to keep many of the period features but bring the apartment up to date with all the modern appliance and amenities that our guests would need. Many of our guests comment that it feels like home and return regularly because of this.

We are a family run business. Founded by Reta after retiring from Visit Scotland as Grading and Classifications Officer she converted the family home into a Bed and Breakfast with husband John. Using her knowledge of the business Reta achieved a 5 star Gold rating from the Tourist board one of only a few in Edinburgh. In 2009 we expended in to Self Catering and bought this apartment. We have transferred the same standards and service from our B&B business to the apartments in order to give our guests the same level of service. On booking we like to make direct contact with our guest to ensure they have all the information required as well as our direct contact details in case they need any additional information or have questions. On arrival we like to meet the guests to familiarise them with the apartment and answer any questions they may have.

The apartment is 2 minutes' walk from Morningside Road the heart of Morningside. Morningside Road has everything that a guest would need from a Waitrose supermarket, to local butcher and grocer, cafes, bars, restaurants, dry cleaners and much more. As one of the main arteries into the city centre Morningside Road is serviced by many bus routes all running every 10 minutes to the city centre. Alternatively we would recommend that guests take a walk to the city through the Meadows Park and Old Town. It will take about 30 minutes but its well worth it. Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill to the South of Morningside offer leafy walks away from the city traffic and a fantastic view over the city and across to Fife as well up the Firth of Forth and East down the coast. For those more adventurous the Pentland Hill Regional Park offers over 100km of marked trails for walkers and cyclists. Some must see attractions in Edinburgh would be Edinburgh Castle, The National Museum of Scotland, Scottish National Gallery, St Glies Cathedral, Palace of Holyrood House , The Royal Yacht Britannia and Arthur's Seat. There are many more places to see so we are happy to advise.

Some doors are squeaking and the bathroom door was hard to close. There was a strange smell in the kitchen. In the bedrooms new wardrobes would be great. I would have needed a normal drying rack for my laundry as we continued our journey afterwards, unfortunately there was only a very small one. Still, you can also hang your clothes in the garden, but I washed in the evening.
The apartment is located in a safe part of Edinburgh. A big supermarket is 2 min away, as well as little restaurants and buses that take you to the center (can also be done by foot, about 30 min). The beds were really good and the living room well equipped. Everything you need in.the kitchen, maybe some more glasses would be nice.

Horrible pillows! I would have appreciated a side light that was strong enough to read by (yes, we still read books in bed). And a chair in the bedroom.
It was quiet and the garden was a good bonus. The atmosphere of the apartment was welcoming and calm.

We did not realise this is a private property. When we arrived, we have to call the owner and wait for him in a snow with our 3 luggage for more than 20 minutes. It was very cold and we are very hungry at that time. Not a very nice experience. Please make sure u contact the owner and let him know when will u arrive on that day before hand.
The room is good and clean. Very convenience location. The owner was nice.
