“Booked this flat for a weekend away for my mums special birthday Good central location, good size of flat and clean. Only recommendation would be to have some outside seating.”
“We were very impressed with the flat and it exceeded our expectations on presentation. Location was very central but noise from front street left us heading for the back room during the night! This is okay if you are renting on your own but if you were two couples this would become a problem.
The spiral stairs leading to the flat kept the calories at bay but in all seriousness, this is not for any persons with a health problem or disability.
Yes we would recommend.”
“On the whole a comfortable flat in a lovely area of the city close to all amenities and bus routes and only about half an hours walk from the centre. The only niggles which preclude a rating of excellent are small technicalities, like the timer on the microwave not working, only one wine glass and a less than adequate TV with poor reception. Apart from that we would recommend a stay here.”
“Great flat with 3 good sized bedrooms. Spacious, comfortable lounge area with fabulous views. Ideally located with good bus connections to the city centre.”
“This flat had everything we required as well as being in an excellent location for exploring Edinburgh on foot. A bit of noise from the street but was to be expected in that location.”
“Ideal location for Royal Mile...5 min walk and 10 mins away from Playhouse for a show.
Nice clean modern apartment, plenty of parking.
would definately use again....”
“Family party of 10 visiting Edinburgh for wedding so did not spend a lot of time in the apartment. Quiet location near to city centre. Flat excellent for big party as spacious with ensuite and additional shower facilities. Large lounge with TV, etc and TV in kitchen. Easy to get taxi or buses. All facilities in very good order and apartment very clean. Enjoyed the higgeldy piggeldy nature of apartment as gave the feeling of space which was good for our large party.”
“The flat was an excellent base for our jumps through this beautiful town. The landlord is very friendly and courteous. We're deeply grateful about this practical possibility to stay in Edinburgh. A very great week at all points.”
“Generally well organised and equipped, clean and comfortable, and quiet. Also quite well positioned for all the main Fringe venues.
Only adverse comments relate to the bathroom... the toilet seat moves around and disconnects easily from its moorings and the toilet roll holder dips down and on one occasion spontaneously deposited the toilet roll into the bowl.
But these are pretty minor things... we had a most enjoyable week.”
“Very friendly welcome from Nina. Beautiful quiet building in a central location, walkable from city centre. Very spacious bright living room. Could be done with a lick of paint throughout but very good value and would certainly stay there again.”
“Alll the mod cons, about 20 minute walk from centre of town but with shops for supplies near by. Unfortunately there was a horrible rotten egg smell in the kitchen which was either coming from the fridge or behind it...apart from that it was a nice apartment. swimming pool and sauna was nice but the gym is not really a gym as not in working order.”
“Great location near bus stop to get easily to the sights and round corner to Tesco. Really quiet spot. Great double bed and kids slept fine on the sofa bed. Helpful support from Lorna and Mandy who rent it out. Good wifi. Easy to get to station on foot or bus.”
“Very central location, easily accessible from the train stations.The apartment had exactly what we needed for a short break, including a travel cot. Definitely recommend.”
“My family visited from the US and we had three couples staying in the flat. We had a great time and loved the foodie excellence of Stockbridge. Everything was in great working order and the landlord went out of her way to make things easy for us, sending the keys ahead of our visit. The only think I would cite is that the flat is on top of a pizza hut. The pizza hut's kitchen exhaust is right below the window of the flat's en suite bathroom which makes the back of the flat smell like pizza in the evening. It proved a bit irresistible, especially with a ridiculous low prize for pizza that is picked up! Great price, great location and a great landlord!!”
“4 of us stayed in the flat for the 2nd year running for the fringe. It is a perfect location with a lovely walk into the centre and also in another direction close to Sainsburys which is ideal. It is modern and very clean with everything you need to cook etc. My only criticism is the towels supplied for 9 days were not enough and not that large. There is a washing machine/dryer but I would prefer more towels and tea towels supplied. A shower in the 2nd bathroom would be ideal. Apart from that perfect accomodation.”
“This was a great flat for our family, and Marisa was wonderful and very accommodating. The only thing I would say is that it is dated, and there is no real shower. The hose attaches to the sink and you have to sit in the tub and "shower" that way. Otherwise, it has everything you need and in a great location to access the Museum and the mile.”
“Great base for a week at the Fringe. Quite noisy a couple of nights but that's what you get being so close to the centre. Flat was missing a couple of bits when we got there but when we phoned up Janet quickly sorted it out, and then sent me a follow-up text to check everything was now fine. Only four dining-chairs - beware if there's five of you and you want to eat at the table!”
“This lovely flat was quiet and cozy with a nice décor. The kitchen was very well-equipped including plenty of spices so there was no need to buy all the little things for cooking. There is a good size clean bathroom with tub and shower. And the washer and drying rack were nice to have in order to repack the suitcase with clean clothes for the next leg of my trip. There is also a nice gas fireplace if you are staying during a cooler time of the year. The owner, Toby, was very accommodating to my early check-in since no other guest was checking out that day. He offered some information about the neighborhood and left numbers for taxi, etc.
The location of the apartment is great because it is a quiet neighborhood, yet close (walking distance) to the main tourist areas of Edinburgh - Princes Street, Old Town, New Town, and right next to the village of Stockbridge. There are plenty of restaurants, pubs, cafes, shopping and grocers, all within an easy walking radius of the apartment. And several times I went out for a lovely walk along the Water of Leith walkway, choosing to wander off and get lost in the city, making new discoveries and finding my way back “home” as I pleased.
I recommend this flat for a single person, a couple or two friends for a weekend or longer in order to enjoy all that Edinburgh has to offer. It would also be good for two couples on a weekend getaway.”
