“We very much enjoyed our stay in this flat and would definitely stay here again. It's lovely and very spacious. It's close to several wonderul shops and an amazing deli. The owner was very communicative and bent over backwards to help us before, during and after our stay. The only drawbacks we found were that it's located directly above a Pizza Hut. The aroma would waft upstairs and was too tempting to resist on several nights. Perhaps you're stronger than we were, but this could cause a problem if you're watching what you eat. Also, there were dog hairs in the flat. Although we didn't bring a dog, we're used to this fact of dog life. If you are sensitive to dog fur you might think twice.”
“We were six together during a long weekend in late November. The flat was just perfect for us. It was clean and tidy and the bathrooms were very good. The beds were comfortable in the bedrooms. The livingroom was modest and nice and the kitchen had all the necessary equipments. The central heating worked well. The position was just great. The only things that we can complain about is the entrance to the flat (untidy and rough) and for light sleepers, there is a noice when you walk on the parket floor. Pigions are staying close to the window in one of the bedrooms and interupted the sleep of those there. The service from Edinburgh flats was very good and we were especially happy with the permission to be able to stay in the flat a few hours longer because of our flight in the late afternoon. We would book this flat again.”
“Highly recommended, a beautiful old style apartment, huge dining room with high ceilings, huge bay window, large dining table would seat 8. Big comfortable sofas and a wood burning stove, the lounge is definitely the star!
Well appointed kitchen, quality appliances, large larder fridge freezer, dual cooker, dish washer.
Single bathroom, bath, electric shower (slightly disappointing) toilet, not massive but quite functional. Bedrooms well furnished one double and one twin beds. Very comfortable with quality linen and towels, quiet and shutters in all rooms.
Parking (not mentioned in the advertisement) is in the next street, 5 minutes walk away, although for 2 cars. Location is good, 15 minutes walk to Centre of down and easy drive to the airport. Decent supermarket 2 minutes walk and good cafe at the bottom of Coates Gardens. Ignore the recommended Italian though, lousy food and very expensive!
Overall a lovely place to stay. Would definitely go back”
“The flat is centrally located and accessible by bus, train and is close to most places one needs to see in Edinburgh. It is a bit small for 6 persons (it has only 2 bedrooms- but has a big airbed- and a small dining table) but we had been warned. The landlord is quite friendly and helpful. If it is spruced up a bit, the flat would be extremely attractive. However it does contain the necessities for a short stay. The local shops are close by too. We enjoyed our stay.”
“I appreciated the location and the style of the apartment who provides the basic comfort needed. The area is great, I could visit almost everything without having to take the bus. Shops nearby. The minuses are: extra charge for international bank transfer altough my bank doesnt charge anything and I was given no other payment option, no proper blinds in bedrooms to prevent daylight from waking you up, no DVD player. Overall, I'm ready to stay there again though.”
“Lovely bright and airy flat in a excellent location. Very clean and excellent facilities for cooking if you don't want to eat out every night. Small supermarket 5 minutes walk away.
Flat contains excellent guide books and maps and Stephen & Emily were very helpful.
Would highly recommend.”
“A simple flat but with everything needed. Excellent location, just 10 minute walk to city centre. Really good value considering we stayed over new years. All staff friendly and helpful, even let us check out late!”
“Brilliant location for local amenities (Waitrose, Post Office,Stockbridge Restaurants, Inverleith Park and Botanic Gardens)plus short walk into Princes Street and surrounding attractions. Met by Brian who assisted with luggage and parking. Very nice Welcome Basket. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Noise level from road traffic particularly distracting in lounge and front bedroom.”
“Really nice flat, except the bedding was not adequate for winter. The blankets we were given were not ideal. Also, we were not told about the free parking option which we only discovered when it was too late and many pounds later...”
“We stayed in this apartment for one week, just before Fringe Festival started, and it was just fabulous. A perfect location just off Royal Mile, nice view over the Princess Street Gardens. Facilities were sufficient for our stay (there even was a washing machine in a separate (shared) laundry room, which was not advertised) and our host has always been very helpful with all our enquiries. The bar downstairs tends to get loud on Sundays, but that didn't bother us too much (after all we are on vacation) We'll gladly come back next year for another visit to the best city in the world!”
“It only cost us about $1 to travel into the city centre, however there were not many nice food outlets near and we felt we needed to eat in the city centre. But we overall very happy with our stay and would definitely stay there again”
“I recently stayed in this flat with my cast when we performed our play at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. All of us were happy with the accommdation, it has pretty much everything you need for a short stay and the rooms are pleasant enough.”
“Stayed in the flat 08/08/2012 to 10/08/2012. Myself and 4 other adults. Excellent location - Castle /Royal Mile / Grass market only a few mins walk away. Only reason I rated the flat as very good and not excellent is the communal hallway into the flat leaves a bad first impression. Although once inside the accommodation is more than adequate. Clean linen provided and good kitchen facility. Only other pointer is the shower tap seems to be in reverse. To get cold water turn to red and vice versa.”
“Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Edinburgh dans cet appartement. Il est spacieux et calme, avec une belle vue dégagée. En contre-bas, le centre du quartier de Stockbridge est sympa et animé, avec tous les commerces (boulangerie, poissonnier, boucherie, superette, pub, resto...)”
“Our family weekend in the apartment was great-lovely decor, great comfy beds,good location, everything we needed to make our stay relaxing and comfortable. Leni on hand and welcoming.
Jan, Peter, Michael and Anna Rodney”
“A very spacious, well equipped and tastefully decorated apartment. Obviously in a re-development area of Leith currently with building nearby but this did not cause us any problems. Short walk to all the fantastic bars and restaurants of which there is a fabulous choice to suit everyone. would not hesitate to recommend or return.”
