Overnight stay in July 2020. Excellent location, perfect property for myself and my partner as we looked to explore a little bit of Edinburgh. Lovely hostess, GREAT breakfast. Arty, bohemian, chic and just a quaint and quirky little flat which was perfect for us. Will return definitely!! Ps the Poltergeist may in fact just be true as it would appear the artwork had all been skewed slightly in the morning! Lol. Great experience all round! ##### Davina R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim, Durham 12 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Position was very convenient for the Royal Mile Area and our host, Sophie, was very friendly and most helpful.

If we come back to Scotland we’ll stay here again. If you are looking to spend a lot of money on a sterile tiny room with no window, go to the Waldorf. This place has character and several windows that open! Loved Sophia and Andy who helped us settle in! ##### Terry C.

The wifi was excellent, and there was Amazon Prime on the TV. The location can't be beat, very close to the Royal Mile and right beside Greyfriars Kirkyard. The owner provided some really nice extras for us, and plenty for breakfast during our stay, and was very accomodating and nice. ##### Michael Y.

This is a fantastic location to walk Edinburgh. Sophie is a warm, kind, and wonderful host with fabulous stories about the city and her family. Unfortunately, we were not in the city long enough to spend more time with Sophie. When I come back to Scotland, I hope to meet up with you! ##### Traci M. ### 8/10 Good #### Bryan M. 13 Jul 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### July holiday Sophie was nice. Sam is a sweet cat. Sophie helped with finding music in the area for my friend. Having the Kirkyard behind the flat was nice. Easy walking distance to the bus stop for the bus to the airport. ##### Bryan M. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LUT W., Melbourne 1 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very friendly host and warm experience Sophie was always responsive from the time we booked and tried to offer as much information as possible to us. She has been really friendly, helpful and generous to provide a great stay for us. It's an old building and apartment with an artistic and vintage style. There's no lifts and it's on 1/f however it locates at centre of Edinburgh and close to many main attractions as well as some great restaurants, which I believe can offset the need to exercise a very little bit. If you want an accomodation which enables you a local experience and even to make friends (with Sam the cat too!) I would recommend you give it a try! We miss you already Sophie and Sam~! ##### LUT W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura D. 24 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing!

Felt very welcome Sophie was amazing going out her way to help us and making sure we were ok. We will defo be back in the future. ##### Melanie l. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee R. 31 May 2019 #### Lovely flat, lovely location, lovely host We travelled to Edinburgh for me to do the half marathon, I called Sophie on arrival and she met us at the flat, she was very welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, even a bottle of wine and fresh flowers, she also offered to buy me exactly what I wanted for breakfast before the race but I had brought my own. The flat is very quirky and we mainly spent our time in the flat either people watching out the front window which overlooks Bobbies monument or watching the ghost walks around the Kirkyard. Little Bobbies grave is visible from the kitchen window and Bobbies monument from the front window. We will definately be returning and will recommend to our friends who want a home away from home in the center of Edinburgh old town. ##### Lee R. Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Christopher v. 17 May 2019 #### Cosy and Quaint home in a great Location Upon arrival Sophie met us in person and welcomed us to her appartment. The space was very homely with beautiful artwork displayed through the home. Conveniently located 10 minutes walk from Waverley station and on the doorstep of many famous Edinburgh attractions this was a lovely place to stay while in edinburgh! ##### Christopher v.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Carla L. 14 May 2019 #### Anfitrião muito amigável Apesar da habitação necessiar de algumas remodelações, a experiencia foi muito positiva pelo calor humano da Sophie. ##### Carla L. Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexander P. 13 Feb 2019 #### Quirky and authentic! Sofie went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. It was a very human experience and overall very enjoyable! ##### Alexander P. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer D. 5 Jan 2019 #### Charming hostess and excellent location Sophie was an excellent hostess who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable (more like pampered). Staying with her was more like visiting an old friend than your typical vacation rental experience. She was always happy to show us around and had lots of suggestions for good/affordable food and siteseeing. If ever we come back to Edinburgh we will definitely stay with Sophie and Sam again! ##### Jennifer D. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### IANA M. 11 Dec 2018 #### Lovely and kind host Very kind host. Incredible breakfast the next day. I was warm and cosy. Thank you for your hospitality!! ##### IANA M. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie D. 7 Dec 2018 #### Very accommodating stay! Had a lovely stay with Sophie and got to meet the adorable Sam! Sophie is very accommodating and does her best to make you feel at home. Location is fantastic, very near to the elephant house and grass market area. Plus there is a jewellers next door which has some lovely stuff! Would definitely recommend a stay here, especially if you are a fan of cats! ##### Marie D. Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick, Rainham, Essex 5 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Quirky with plenty of livied in character. This felt like somebody’s home you would be house sitting for (not a soulless hotel room) and any initial doubt about you feeling you were intruding was quickly overcome by the welcome from Sofie (and her cat, Sam) who was so friendly and knowledgable for the locale it felt like you had a friend there. All facilities were fine and well kept- lovely big bed which was firm. The reason why we booked here was how close we were to all of the attractions (5 - 10 mins) and the price was more than fair. We would definitely return here. ##### Nick Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Martin J. 19 Oct 2018 #### greyfiars Bobby kirkyard We booked for the last night of our stay in Edinburgh 4th October 2018 On our arrival in Edinburgh we went to find where our accommodation was ,sadly nobody at the Greyfriars pub or the shops along the street had ever heard of it & had no idea as to what we were talking about... So,we rang the number provided and was told no such number... Then later in our stay went back & asked again at different little shops along the street & same answer... So we had to book somewhere else..Must add l paid for this HomeAway stay 22/7/2018.. So not at all happy... Need a refund as no way were we able to contact anyone...I must also add that my husband was so very much looking forward to staying here as he is a huge fan of Greyfriars Bobby... .

Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maxi C. 27 Sept 2018 #### Zentrumsnah, wunderbar Mitten in der City von Edinburgh gelegen - alles ist fußläufig erreichbar. Restaurants und Bars befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe. Von der Küche aus kann man den Blick auf den legendären "Harry Potter"-Inspirationsort (Greyfriars Kirkyard) genießen. Es gibt ein gemütliches Bett und einen Fernseher mit fire-TV. Die Wohnung ist einfach, aber liebevoll eingerichtet mit Studenten-WG-Flair. Man teilt sich die Wohnung mit der Gastgeberin, die herzensgut ihre Gäste umsorgt, auf alle Wünsche eingeht, sich aber - wenn nötig - auch rücksichtsvoll zurückzieht. Der Hauskater Sam läßt sich gerne streicheln und genießt den Tag auf der Fensterbank. ##### Maxi C.
