Only very tiny minor things - a couple of the rugs on the shiny tiles nearly sent me flying, could do with some rubber backing for safety. The shower itself is a little small but otherwise great - maybe add corner shelves for toiletries. Mattress was quite soft, but just my personal preference for a firmer mattress.

Perfect location for public transport, less than 10 minutes from the city centre by train and bus stop is close too. Apartment is situated in a nice quiet residential area. Very clean and comfortable. Quirky character, nicely furnished. Communication was helpful and friendly. Shower was hot and good pressure! Nice little kitchen facilities too.

Lack of heating when the weather turned cold and damp. Heated towel rails that didn’t seem to work. Rugs without a non-slip backing on a tiled floor.

Location was good for my purposes. Nice quiet area.

Easy to reach by train from city centre, studio contains everthing you need, complete and clean, and kind and helpful hostess. Quiet location, nice walk to the sea.

This lengthy stay allowed for visiting Edinburgh and planning the launch of my long-term travel. The apartment is a great, clean place for a solo traveler and delightfully decorated. It looked just like the images. In addition to pots/pans, the kitchen was outfitted with flatware, dishes, glassware, cooking and utensils and other very useful items like a corkscrew and scissors. Even in winter, the apartment was warm and the electric fire helped as needed. Wifi strength and connectivity was excellent. The distance to the Brunstane train platform was a short walk. There was an Asda superstore for groceries/ready-made foods, pharmacy, household/clothing and more about 10-12 minute walk away and Trish provided shopping bags to use. In addition to easy access into Edinburgh city, the Portobello high street and promenade was a 20 minute walk away and worth visiting. Trish was a very helpful host, asking how everything was going.

Outdoor space was limited

Very cleverly done accomodation

Stayed in June 2024

Location was a bit far from Edinburgh. There is not much to do in Brunstane. Operation of TV & shower was a bit quirky for travellers. Bedding use by date is nearly up.

Property had all the facilities you would need. Trish was a great host.

Brilliant wee studio flat and host (Trish) was very accommodating. Well set out and brilliant location for getting into the city. If I come back to Edinburgh for work I’ll definitely stay again

There wasn't anything I didn't like. It was just lovely.

It was a wonderful place to stay. Trish was so very helpful. So comfortable and just what we were hoping for. Not far to walk to public transport, which takes you straight into Edinburgh City centre. We would definitely recommend Daiches Braes and come back again. Just perfect 👌

It was a 7 minute journey from Waverley Station. So quiet and serenen. Super comfort

There were no stores nearby to buy food.

It was a very comfortable appartment, very private. And the closeness to the train satation made it very accessible to the city centre.

Nice and cosy appartment. Hostess was always available for us and helped us when required. She also provided us very helpful details regarding our stay in Edinburgh.

Trish is a great host, that will go great lengths to guarantee comfort of her guests. Flat is very comfortable and it has everything you could need while staying. Location is phenomenal, there is a large supermarket just 5 minutes away, train station and bus station obaut 3 minutes away. It's near beutiful and vibrant Portobello. Absolutely reccomend.

It is a great location near Brunstane train station and a twenty minute walk to Portobello beach. The flat had everything I needed. Trish was very helpful answering any questions I had.

A small mix up with leaving the key. Be sure to communicate clearly the date, day, and time of your arrival. Once we were in, our stay was perfect!

Amazing location in quiet neighborhood, on nature path to manor house and North Sea. Comfy bed, well decorated, cozy cooking and dining.

The water pressure in the shower could have been better.

A compact but comfortable apartment in a pleasant and peaceful location with easy access to Edinburgh. Ideal for two people.

Fantastic location, can't wait to go back again.

convenient location, own entrance where i could come and go and totally self contained

Stayed in September 2022

The property was very cluttered, lots of furniture and knick knacks so not a lot of usable space for our luggage. The online facilities listed a clothes dryer, and although there wasn't one the host did offer for us to use hers. The bed was pushed up against a wall so it's difficult for one person to get in and out.

The property had everything you needed in a self-contained contained unit. It is a short walk to the train station to get a train into Edinburgh, although the trains don't run as frequently on a Sunday the buses were good too.

Stayed in July 2024

the cost of cabs to and from town but that was expected due to location, nothing to do with accommodations

we like everything about our stay, it was a trip to remember
