Not very comfortable apartment. There are 11 lockboxes and you are not told which one you have the code for. Would stay again but not for that price. ##### Garrick Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynne C. 30 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Lady Stairs Close apt Fantastic location. Very small bedroom and bathroom, no clothes or closet storage. Be aware no freeze or microwave. The supply of paper products were lacking- TP, no paper towels or napkins. ##### Lynne C. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tom W. 28 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Check-in #### Royal Mile Stay Great location! Emma's Tips were helpful, as were the books. Our Scottish friends did say this represented 18th century living in Edinburgh. 23 winding wet stairs to our "ground floor" room. Small bedroom. Had to turn bed catty-corner to both be able to get in and out. Dead bug on the counter behind the sink. Burned out light in the foyer. Re: check-in, at least 8 lockboxes up high. Found ours by trial and error with the help of a tour guide. Hook on back of bathroom door was broken. For the high price we expected much more. ##### Tom W. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joanne M. 4 Jan 2025 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### New Years in Edinburgh Old Town Location is hard to beat. Simply excellent. Walk from train station is not long, but take taxi from train station because of hills and stairs if you have any luggage. Lock boxes look alike. Take close note of exact directions. You will need to carry luggage up to first landing, about 20 small winding stairs. Doable, but be forewarned. Kitchen looks sharp and has enough cups, plates and silverware. No freezer in refrigerator, so no ice. Small bathroom, but everything works. Double bed barely fits in room. Cozy to hold two. They should replace swinging door with barn door slider instead, to get more room. They need more hooks and shelves throughout. It overlooks Royal Mile, but was very quiet. Thus, no downside to being in the thick of things. Explore the back area outside as it has cute and good ice cream/pastry shop and a good little pub. Both are 1-2 minutes from unit. Ideal for one person but unit can work for two if you are ok with small bed. ##### Joanne M.
