We came to Edinburgh to visit our daughter who is getting her masters at the University of Edinburgh and decided to have a large family/friends holiday at the same time. The house was well equipped and easily accommodated 8 adults comfortably. The location was convenient and an easy walk to most tourist sites. There is no shortage of good restaurants nearby and the kitchen was well enough equipped for a large roast dinner we cooked one evening. Could use a few more paper products like paper towels and napkins but that really is nitpicking. Highly recommend! ##### Holly F.

Really incredible layout. Really responsive hosts. ##### Neal P. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### matt j. 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible House and Location Pristine house with high ceilings and 5 FULL bedrooms with attached master baths. The walls and doors are thick so you cannot hear the other guests — this was perfect for our group as we were aged 2-78 and everyone was on different sleep schedules. Multiple playgrounds, groceries, coffee shops, and restaurants within close walking distance. 2 minute walk to the airport tram. Perfect place for groups to stay ##### matt j.
