“Very pleasant welcome from owner. Flat has all the necessary requirements for a comfortable stay in Edinburgh. However it was only upon arrival I was informed it was a student let during the year. This was evident in the tired decor + uncomfortable beds. Convenient to shop, 10 min walk to airport bus.”
“The difference between very good and excellent lies in the detail, e.g., no lounge curtains, window frames in need of painting, the sofa has seen better days, occasional tables out of character, paper product labelling only partially removed from wc pedestal. We do want to emphasise, though, that on the whole we were delighted with the flat and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The provision of coffee and biscuits etc. was a nice touch. Our personal contacts with the agency were very satisfactory.”
“Excellent location easy access to everywhere by variety of transport methods. Cosy and comfortable with all the facilities you need. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.”
“Clean and comfortable 3 bed apartment, perfect for three couples. 30 minutes or less from many of the Fringe venues and a range of shops, restaurants and bars nearby. Haymarket station and great bus routes nearby. Thanks”
“A lovely clean modern flat well equiped and very comfortable. we had a great stay. Bus service into town quite regular taking only ten to fifteen minutes.”
“This flat is in a great location right beneath the castle so brilliant for sight seeing and getting around using public transport. The entrance hall is a bit off putting when you first arrive, but the flat is comfortable and well equipped for a short break and had all bed linen, towels, loo roll, soap etc. Also had lots of family friendly restaurants and supermarket near by. Thank you very much Glyn.”
“Stylishly decorated throughout, with good amenities. Clean and comfortable. Convenient location, less than a mile from Waverley station and near cafes, supermarkets and bus routes.
Need to be reasonably fit to cope with stairs and hills.”
“We stayed in this apartment for 10 days. Everything was functional and clean. Lorna was very helpful. She responded to everything we asked. We enjoyed our stay, thanks for everything!”
“Nice convenien flat, well equiped. A larger TV set is suggested. Kitchen well equiped, few problems that can be solved easily. Very nice location. Recomended for leisure or professionals. Landlords nice and helpful.”
“this is a beautiful flat very roomy and nice warm feeling. Enjoyed our stay very much. Quiet location,lovely area for anyone. Not really central to nightlife. Short taxi ride to anywhere in town. But as we were traveling with family it was great for us. Would recomend highly.”
“Good things:
- perfect location for most sights and amenities
- amazing views from the flat
- very well equipped, stylish design and spacious living area
Bad things:
- the window blinds let nearly all light through, so hard to sleep past 6am; also, the flat gets very hot unless all windows wide open
- with windows wide open it gets very noisy; supermarket delivery van from 7am every day, also noise from nearby building site”
“Stayed here for 3 nights with friends in December 2013. First impressions of the area was a bit cagey and I spotted a clinic a few doors down form the flat which usually attracts a lot of junkies to the area. This didn't appear to be the case though. The stairs up to the flat are quite thin and windy too. Everything got better once we got inside though. It holds heat very well, the decor was lovely and the bed was the most comfortable bed in the world. Made me not want to get out of it :) We were warmly greeted by Harriet and proceeded to have a great few days in Edinburgh. I was a bit disappointed when we were leaving as nobody showed up to collect the keys, or instruct us what to do. I even sent a text message to them in the morning and have still gotten no reply. So there was a lot of waiting around that morning which was annoying, in the end we just guessed to leave the keys on the counter, however this obviously meant we couldn't securely lock the door. Had a bit of a "we have your money now go away" feel to the check out process.”
“Very good place, the owner was always looking after us and did a couple of fixes we needed when we were there. I'd definitely recommend it, very good value for money”
“A simple, well-maintained flat that is perfect for getting to the main large fringe venues. Would definitely stay here again if visiting 'burgh for the fringe.”
“Very central location next to the bus stop to the airport and near from the bus and train stations as well (10 min in normal walking). There are food shops very close. The flat is very comfortable and well heated. It's quiet (this is a pedestrian street) although we could hear the seagulls in the morning.
It's very pleasant to come back here after a good day of walking and sightseeing.”
“This extremely spacious apartment has a wonderful southfacing lounge with bay window. The dining kitchen is well equipped, and the flat is cosy. Bedrooms are large and comfortable, and the situation peaceful. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, either towards Princes Street or nearby Stockbridge. Even closer at hand is Waitrose. There is a wide choice of frequent buses, and Haymarket station is less than 15 minute walk away. The owner is helpful and attentive, even welcoming us with vases filled with flowers. This was an excellent choice for our family with three teenagers, and we would readily stay here again.”
“Located in a cul-de-sac, assuring a quiet stay, the flat is clean and newly renovated. Shops and pubs are available at short distance. The kitchen is well equipped and a good quality internet connection is available. The only little drawback is if having a car, spaces are only available to Edinburgh residents, it has to be parked a little distance away (about 1km).”
