Had a great stay here while exploring Edinburgh. Fantastic location, very clean, enough room for five of us to spread out. Hosts were super responsive.
Very nice center city apartment that was large enough to easily accommodate 6 adults and 2 children. Large well stocked kitchen
Host was very responsive
Great location within walking distance to restaurants, Edinburgh castle and train and bus stops
This is a lovely apt in the heart of Edinburgh with shirt walks to everything you would want to see and do. The hosts were wonderful and quick to reapond with our questions. Eat at their restaurant, Guilianos, it's AMAZINGLY good!
We have a lovely stay at this apartment. Wish we could have stayed longer! Easy walk to all the sites. Wonderful Italian restaurant next door. Parking facility close by if needed. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
We loved the apartment and location. Everything worked great and was very clean. Easy parking and good restaurants in the neighborhood. We enjoyed Giovannis downstairs! The management was very responsive and quick to respond to any questions before and during our arrival.The only drawback was our apartment was on the 3rd level (4th in US terms) with no elevator. Lugging our luggage was difficult. That being said, we would definitely stay here again!
This property was clean and close to everything we wanted to do in Edinburgh - literally within walking distance. Check-in and Check-out process were very simple. Communication with Giovanna was simple and quick. We would stay here again.
Perfect location right in the centre of everything you could need. Large kitchen and living area that enabled the 6 of us to relax and spend time together. Every space was very clean. Nice to have a roomy shower. Beds were comfortable, even the bunk beds (considering we’re over 60). Grateful there were fans provided as it was super hot in Scotland during our visit. Excellent communication with the owners and check-in was super smooth. Appreciated that we could do laundry on site. Highly recommend!
Let me start by saying that this flat has an amazing location! We were able to walk down stairs and go right to the tram system and hit all of the sights! It is in walking distance to many shops, dining, etc. The flat itself worked great for our quick stay. We needed bedrooms for everyone and bathrooms were key in organizing how fast we could get up and around to sight see! The hosting family goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome as well! Thank you!
We had a fabulous stay at Giovanna's apartment over our week long stay (8 adults - 2 aged 50's / 6 in 20's). The apartment was beautiful and had all the amenities that we required. It is located in a great part of the city - multiple choices of restaurants & pubs close by and a grocery story less than a minute walk away. Easy Tram ride from the airport with a stop just outside of the apartment location and a 15 minute walk to the Royal Mile / Castle. Apartment was exactly as described - 3 bedrooms (2 with queen sized beds 1 with bunk beds) and a living room pull out couch. There is a futon in one of the bedrooms as well. The 3 flights of stairs is a workout on the legs with the suitcases but we knew that there was no lift when booking. Lots of communication with the hosts for a super easy check in. Their restaurant downstairs is also wonderful! The street noise wasn't an issue - we did bring earplugs as we didn't know how the night traffic / partiers might be but we did not need them. We would absolutely stay again - Thanks again Giovanna for everything.
Plenty of space! It happened to be a heatwave they brought us fans for every room. Constant communication and ease of check in. Easy check out as well. Great spot for quick connection to airport tram. Walkable to everything. Restaurant downstairs for takeout pizza was perfect. Would definitely stay here again
This property is perfect for anyone who enjoys the hustle and bustle of city life. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby (but be ready for nightlife noise) and it’s easy to walk to all the attractions in Edinburgh! The owner is lovely, easy to communicate with, and good at responding quickly. My friends and I had a wonderful time. Be ready to walk up several flights of steps with your luggage, but it’s worth it for the location and cleanliness of the property! Would stay there again!
We loved it. Excellent restaurants nearby with beautiful 15-20 minute walk to most tours/sites. Giovanna and Angelo were strong communicators; helpful to our interests and needs. Property is as advertised. You do need to be able to handle doing stairs. But we at age 60 handled it.
We were eight adults, ( five siblings and three of their partners). Without exception, all eight not only enjoyed the amenities of the apartment, and the fantastic location, we had the bonus of the fantastic Italian restaurant down stairs also owned by the folks who own the apartment. Overall wonderful experience
We had a wonderful stay. Very clean and comfortable and just like the photos. Great shower, comfy beds, adapter plugs (thank you!), hair dryer, French press coffee, everything you need. Supermarket close by for snacks, several great restaurants within walking distance, we walked to most sites and all was terrific. Giovanni was wonderful and accommodating.
As mentioned there are stairs, Europe starts on floor 0 so it was a climb with overpacked luggage but we navigated just fine.
Will stay again if we get back to Edinburgh! Thank you!
We had six adults and three children ages 5 to 10. Good sized flat so it worked for us. Location in New Town at the base of Calton Hill so lots of stuff close by. The one consideration is the pub across the way that is open very late (2 or 3 AM) with loud patrons outside. Muffled if you keep the windows closed. We’d stay again if we had a need for that many people.
The flat was in a perfect location for us. We flew into Edinburgh and took the tram into the city centre. It stopped a 2 minute walk from the flat. We arrived earlier than the check in time but having contacted Giovanna beforehand we were able to leave our bags in the restaurant below the flat and head off for some shopping. The check in process was very simple, we were sent a code to access the key box. The flat was very spacious and clean and had all the amenities we needed. We shall definitely return. Thank you Giovanna 😊
