Couldn’t get the street box number to work, but a lovely man named Francis helped us in. The big street windows are perfect for catching the sun.

Plenty of space and well appointed. One flight of steps in description is misleading as you have modern steps to the front door but once in to get to the living areas you have more narrow and steep staircase. Adds to character but a serious obstacle if you have luggage. Overall very happy ##### alec w.

The place is a comfortable & relaxing place. It is convenient to many of Edinburgh attractions. There also is a grocery store next door. It’s a busy street but they have double pane windows that keep the noise down If you plan on driving or renting a car just know that it’s about $35 dollars a day to park over night at the NCP which isn’t all that far away. From the time we entered the place it offered an “wow” feeling. Make sure you’re ok with stairs. But the spiral staircase entry was amazing! Coming from the states we felt, safe & secure here and kept it under the radar. ##### Debbie M.

Plus lots of great transport connections. The only room for improvement would be to add some sofa beds to give parties of 4 unrelated/non-coupled adults wishing to stay in the flat the flexibility of having a separate bed each as there are only two beds (although large) in the two bedrooms meaning this rental is best suited for 4 people who would be happy to share the two beds in each room. ##### Liseli S.

Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian G. 25 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Friends weekend in Auld Reekie The apartment was just what we needed. As described, it is spacious and well-appointed. It is very well situated close to the heart of Edinburgh's New Town but also with easy access to the castle and the Royal Mile. There is a tram stop only a short walk away making it handy for those arriving in the city from the airport. The apartment is just above a Sainsbury's store so that made self-catering very straightforward. The facilities were just what we needed. There is plenty of space in which to unwind. The bedrooms are a good size and the beds were very comfortable. The communication with the property manager was first rate, prompt responses to questions and small matters quickly resolved. We are sure you will enjoy your stay at this wonderful apartment. We certainly hope to return. ##### Ian G. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tim T. 17 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Nice, spacious flat close to Edinburgh Castle My wife and a friend of ours spent four nights in this spacious flat on the west side of Edinburgh Castle, about a half mile walk away (with quite a climb in elevation). There was no "meet and greet" service provided, and the property uses another service besides Vrbo for most contact and other matters. There are about 50 stairs from the street level to the living area, with no lift/elevator. Beware that "self-catering" means there is no soap, detergent, shampoo, paper towels, etc. Closest parking is just below the castle, about £40 per day. This section of Shandwick Place does not allow private cars, only buses and taxis. The Sainsbury's store right next door is very nice and well stocked. Although the flat is on a major street, it was very quiet. We truly enjoyed Edinburgh and would definitely consider this place for a return visit. ##### Tim T.
