“Although this is a flat not 'dead' in the centre it is well worth it! The owners live next door and are friendly, helpful but not overbearing. Nothing was left to chance and we even had a welcome pack including a lovely bottle of wine.
The cottage is superbly decorated and was excellent for exploring the city.
I cannot recommend this cottage enough we had a brilliant stay and will stay again! Thanks to Bill and Margaret for a fantastic stay in Edinburgh.”
“We had a fantastic stay in this studio flat during the Edinburgh Fringe. Every event was convenient to the flat, taking at most a 15-20 minutes walk. The kitchen was small and compact with a fantastic speedy hob which enabled us to to cook meals between shows. This was so useful, time and money saving. The flat was clean, had free WiFi and a view. The care-taking arrangements were excellent too! We had a very comfortable week there.”
“Myself and four friends had the pleasure of staying in this very well equiped,clean modern appartment.Excellent location and we will certainly reserve again next year.
Thank you!”
“This apartment is in an excellent location. Close walk to all sites, restaurants, shopping, train station. The apartment itself is modern and has everything you need for a self catering flat. Thanks for a great stay.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this clean,spacious,modern and comfortable flat,during the festival.Derek,the owner,very kindly picked us up from the bus station,a service I believe he provides.We then found it quite easy to walk into the city centre, although there is a convenient bus stop just across the road, Shops, pubs and resturants were all close by.All in all, a good place to stay.We miss the view!”
“We stayed here during the 2012 Fringe. The flat was well decorated, lovely and clean and well equiped. It's location is only a 30 minute walk from the main centre and there is a large Tesco's also in walking distance. We hope to return to the Fringe again and would certainly checkout the availability of this flat.”
“What a wonderful stay we had in this spacious apartment when visiting the Edinburgh Fringe 2012. It had the wow factor from the moment we stepped up to the door. Part of a stunning historic terrace. A simple bus or cab ride into town. Beautifully furnished, quiet, comfortable and with added benefits for a homely stay. Lovely Teresa gave us a warm welcome. Highly recommended - we'll come again.”
“Sincere thanks to John, the friendly and helpful flat owner. The flat kitchen is fully equipped. Nice bedrooms, clean bathroom and kitchen. Convenient to commute to and from the city centre which is located not very far from the flat. Bus 1, 3, 25, 33 runs quite often (every 3-10mins). Buses from city centre stop exactly in front of the flat. Many shops are around (Sainsbury is within 2-3 mins walk, Co-op is across the street, local butcher, charity shops...)”
“Great flat, very modern decor. No problems with cleanliness and good facilities. We didn't get a chance to ckeck out the gym but was certainly an appea;ing feature. Good location so long as you don't mind a bit of a walk.”
“From the booking process, through the pre-stay information, the handover and of course the stay itself, everything went perfectly.
The apartment is in a great location, very close to the interesting bits of town but at the same time in a relatively quiet area. There is a small Tesco within a couple of minutes walk which is open until 11pm.
The apartment is small but fine for 3 people (or 4 I guess but there were only 3 of us!). The combined kitchen and living area makes for a very sociable setting although perhaps the sofa could be slightly more comfortable and/or fixed so the seats don't keep sliding off. The WiFi access worked well and was appreciated, if only so we could blog our activities during our stay.
I very much like the decision by the owners to leave unused basic foodstuffs from the previous let in the cupboards. It's so nice not to have to buy sugar etc knowing you'll be throwing 90% of it away when you leave. Dishwasher tabs, washing up liquid and a J cloth were all provided, again it was nice not to have to go and get the basics.
The bathroom has a nice shower (powerful and hot) over the bath as well as a very welcome heated towel rail. For some reason, although there is plenty of water pressure at the sink and shower the toilet takes ages to refill, maybe that could be improved?
We only met the owner once, at handover. He was very welcoming and helpful, taking time to explain what was where etc and even going to get more dishwasher tabs when he noticed there were none.
Overall this was a very successful stay, many thanks.”
“Beautiful house in a great location. Great size, plenty of room for the 10 of us and a bonus that each bedroom had its own ensuite. Definitely like to return one day. Would recommend to anyone!”
“We stayed for 6 days whilst attending a wedding, and would like to say what a great time we had. Very comfortable and modern with great hosts who provided all the little things and made us feel very comfortable. Thanks Bill and Margaret.”
“Excellent flat, well situated and equipped, we'd definitely go there again and recommend to friends. Most enjoyable stay and a great selection from Edinburgh Flats. Many thanks for a great holiday!”
“We stayed here for a long weekend, the flat is lovely perfect location with lots of lovely bars/pubs/restaurants. Edinburgh centre is a 5/10 min bus ride, 3.50 day ticket. We would definetly stay again”
“This apartment is convenient, very welcoming. Angie was a great hostess, our flight was delay and she was very helpful in rearranging the key drop off. The apartment is a 5 minute walk to a taxi stand, and to bus stations. The bus ride takes about 10 minutes (or less) to the center of town by Princess street and train station where you can take the train to outskirts of Scotland all the way to London. The place is big we were three adults and we had no issues. The kitchen is very well equipped and there is a TV with DVD player in case you are traveling with kids. The street is very quiet and safe I fell in love with Edinburgh and I think this apartment had a lot to do with that. If we ever go back we will love to stay in the same place.”
“This is a lovely, light and spacious flat in a quiet part of the town very near many tourist attractions and shoping areas. It is very well equipt. Great.”
“Lovely flat, everything catererd for with all amenities to hand. Great places to eat and despite the stairs, we loved it and certainly fitter and part of the character to the building. Have no hesitation in recommending this flat and will return again”
