“Eight of us stayed in this flat for 2 nights, we used it as a base for visiting the city centre. We didn't spend too much time there, didn't need to - great location, 2 mins walk from Haymarket and 10 mins walk from Princes Street - no need for taxi's. Flat was spacious, clean and tidy. It's old and like most old flats has a bit of a musty smell, but that's part of the charm I suppose. Would stay again and is perfectly suited to a group who want to catch up together instead of being separated in hotel rooms. A good find.”
“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.”
“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....”
“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.”
“Great flat with 3 good sized bedrooms. Spacious, comfortable lounge area with fabulous views. Ideally located with good bus connections to the city centre.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“My husband and I enjoyed the location of this apartment. It was conveniently located and within walking distance of everything we needed, bus, trains, restaurants and sightseeing. The apartment was basic, it had a great television and the beds were comfortable. The furniture was ok, and the lighting was not great, a bit dark. Perhaps an instruction sheet on what the symbols mean when operating the oven as well as the position the toggles need to be in to work all the plug in switches might be helpful, especially for Americans that aren't used to these European features. The three flights of stairs could be a challenge after a day of climbing all the hills and steps around Edinburgh. All around, a nice place, convenient and Lenore was really nice to work with.”
“Good size that sleeps 10 (two on sofa double bed). Dining table sits six people. Close to haymarket station. Fantastic view from terrace. Pool looks nice but unfortunately our experience with it was ruined due to glass alcohol bottles and broken glass in the area of the pool and changing areas.....we did not take the risk!”
“Lovely flat, reasonably priced.
Parking was fairly problematical-nearest free parking zone 1/2 mile away at Blacarres street.
Yes there was free parking on the street but only from5.30-8.30 next day this was a bit of a nuisance.
Very peaceful- hardly heard any traffic noise.
Internet access was not Wifi which was a problem as we all had iphones and there was a frustraing lack of dishes/cups etc.Overall I would reccomend this flat to anyone wanting to 'do ' edniburgh.”
“Very good location,with easy access to The Royal Mile and walking distance to everything in the Old Town. No parking immediately outside flat- can drop off and park 5-10 mins walk away in a side street.
Nice flat and comfy beds but bathroom wasn't perfectly clean, so had to do this ourselves.”
“Central location with everything on your doorstep. lovely city centre flat, bright clean with everything you require. The trade off for the location is the noise during the early hours, and the two flights of stairs. Overall very good.”
“Really liked staying in this flat it's in a perfect location with loads of room and comfy beds, however, couple of niggly problems, a few bulbs not working including a lamp in the living room and spotlights in the bathroom. Really needs a new lock on both the close door and flat door as it took us a really long time to get the door open and locked. The girl did try and explain the technique to us but even she struggled, not so good after a couple of drinks on a cold November night! Otherwise great and would stay again.”
“had a lovely midweek stay at 77,rose street!plenty of eateries,lots of pubs,good shops and bus route a stones throw away.We were a family of 6 and felt this flat offered everything we needed. Most importantly lovely and clean. Would definitely stay here again.”
“Just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay, this place is in a great central position overlooking the Royal Mile. This is a buzzing area and therefore the nightlife could be heard from the apartment, that was the only downside and is understandable due to the location of the flat. The flat was very spacious and comfortable, even in November when it was pretty freezing outside the flat was warm and cosy. The apartment has a well equipt kitchen if you are dining in, although lots of choice in the immediate area for eating out. Highly recommend this place just take some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper!”
“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.”
“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.”
