The repairman came and got it working but said it needed a new fan. In the mean time that was 3 times we had no heat or hot water. They got someone there to take care of it and I am sure they will get the fan replaced now that we are checked out.None the less, we loved the apartment and would stay there again.

Right on the Royal Mile next to the old historic Parliament building where Scotland caved to England in the 1700s and the Cathedral where Queen Elizabeth II lay in state before being brought home to England. Its location was central to everything we wanted to see. Hope to return someday and hope Apartment 10 is available. ##### Tom M.

The potential issues: it's right on the Royal Mile. There will be street performers and hordes of tourists outside. One day during our stay there was a full on parade with marching band and speeches. We loved it and the action stops at a decent time of night for adults and teens. If I'd been trying to get an overtired young child to nap I'd have been pulling out my hair. There's two flights of stairs up and a big hill to go up with your suitcases from the train station. The second bathroom has a tiny sink and a noisy fan, and the boiler makes an unpleasant whining sound when it kicks in, which you can turn off as needed for sensory issues. The check-in process could use some tweaking as it was a bit inflexible and led to my friend who arrived first being stuck in the rain trying to find the greeter for a while. These are the only negatives I can find. The apartment is really comfortable and beautiful and just fits the historic area. You don't feel like you're staying in a hotel, and just sitting by the fire listening to the life of the city is pretty magical. If none of the minor negatives is a deal breaker for you, this is the place you want to stay in. ##### Naomi N.

If you are looking for the most convenient and charismatic location this is it, and the apartment is clean, comfortable, and large to boot! It was fabulous to have king size beds and modern clean bathrooms, but our favorite part was opening the windows and people watching and hearing the music coming from the Royal Mile - we loved it! There are a lot of stairs to get to the apartment and within the apartment itself, so just be aware if there are mobility issues it may not be the place for you. The kitchen was so well equipped and we did utilize the washer/dryer( some written instructions on how to use the machine would have been quite helpful though). We slept so well, some light noise from the street below, but not late in to the night, and the beds were very comfortable. This is by far one of the biggest apartments we have enjoyed in Europe and the location cannot be beat. Communication was good, wish they had been a little more timely on our arrival as I sent many messages about our arrival time, but the man who greeted us eventually was nice and friendly. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again! ##### Cheri N.

This was the best one. Best amenities. Best location. Most comfortable. ##### Linda A.

But the location is AMAZING!!!!!!! The building is basically part of the tours of Edinburgh you take! Steps from the castle and shopping and dining and all of the tour locations! It was truly THE BEST place to stay!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David M. 7 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous Beautifully presented accommodation in the perfect location.

The apartment is luxurious and a great value for the money. We all decided we could live in Edinburgh if we had this apartment. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon G. 31 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location There couldn’t be a better location in Edinburgh. We walked everywhere and watched the street performers from our windows! ##### Sharon G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy B., United States 6 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location and tons of bright living space Our cab driver didn’t believe the address at first. “In the heart of it all” was accurate! When we were having down time, we could look out the enormous windows and see street performers and people strolling below. Our walking tour met just a few feet from our front door outside St. Giles’s. There is some noise song with all of this action, but it didn’t bother our party. It was light until very late because we visited in summer, and the heavy curtains were wonderful at blocking the light. The ceilings are incredibly high, and the many windows are tall, making everything feel spacious. The great living area is multiple large areas in one. The check-in process was easy and we had a great brief tour of the property. We would definitely recommend! ##### Amy B.
