Apartment was in a great location and very close to the many attractions, dining and gift shops. All you have to do is walk out your front door and you hear the bagpipes. Awesome. ##### Larry M. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex P. 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Location We walked everywhere but being right on the Royal Mile makes it easy to get around. Didn't need to use any public transportation and had plenty of food and entertainment options. It's a bit of a slog from the train station (especially when it is raining) but quite doable even with luggage. The meet and greet service was a nice touch too but still self checkout made our early AM departure quite easy. ##### Alex P. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Foster M. 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Apartment was very suitable as two bedroom suite, with all necessary ammenities - kitchen, bath, secure access, etc.. Apartment was clean and well appointed. Not accessible, which is not a problem for most, but then again in a city such as Edinburgh, so hilly, accessibility is a challenge whereever you go. ##### Foster M.

Apartment was exactly as described and very clean, modern, secure, and comfortable. Glenn communicated quickly and effectively during the booking and arrival process and was flexible to our plans. Glenn's representative's prompt greeting and walk through at check in was a plus and he was very helpful and quick with our questions. This is a comfortable, convenient, luxury flat and would definitely repeat our stay. ##### Patrick W.

The home is well appointed and very comfortable. One drawback is that it is noisy at night as there are bars in the area. If you sleep with windows open, you will definitely hear lots of people. Other than that, the place is great ##### Jane P.

Bedrooms quiet in spite of nearby street activities. For one member of group the stairs down into the apartment presented a challenge. Also the rather steep walk up after exit from apartment to Royal Mile was challenging. Though unexpected it was consistent with rest of Edinburgh terrain. Overall experience was excellent. ##### LERA R.

Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Robert V. 18 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Location was perfect for us, We could go out in the morning and easily return later for a rest and then go out again. The area can be somewhat noisy but the property is reasonably quiet especially the bedrooms which were in the back. The property is clean and comfortable but could use some updating. For example the bathroom vanity is so low you almost have to get down on your knees to use it. Also, the building entrance and stairwell really needs repairs and paint. ##### Robert V.

One block off Royal Mile. Easy to get to to both New and Old Town. Unit is comfortable and has everything you need for your stay way from home. Washer and Dryer are extremely slow so give yourself time. Unit is located on a noisy street. ##### Andrea S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard B. 20 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great location - hot shower was a challenge Very central to old town attractions. Apartment was small but serviceable for three people. As an older person with a reasonably heavy suitcase, the described three steps up from the street was basis for choosing the apartment. Not mentioned however was the flight of stairs afterwards DOWN to the unit. Oddly, the hot water system made little sense. It came to the faucets pretty quickly but the shower was another matter. I could have turned on the water and then made breakfast in the time it took for the shower to heat up. Three days of cold showers - not good. ##### Richard B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth V. 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Apartment This place isn’t real fancy. It’s pretty basic but it’s very nice, clean and safe. What makes it exceptional is its location. You really couldn’t pick a better spot to stay. It’s just off of the Royal Mile. It’s near the castle, it’s close to everything. Blair Street is pretty quiet for the most part. I couldn’t say enough about the location. Really superb and the apartment has everything you need. I’d definitely stay there again. One thing I didn’t care for was having the booking agent take a picture of my passport. I already paid for the rental AND gave a damage deposit and I’m registered with an excellent record with VRBO. I really don’t think taking photos of my ID is necessary in this day and age. I’ve stayed many places and never had this happen. That makes me feel uncomfortable. ##### Kenneth V. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stella 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication The location is the amazing thing about this property, just off the Royal Mile, and within a few minutes walk of many of the Fringe locations, you feel right in the middle of things. The bedrooms are at the back, so no noise problem at all. I slept in the living room (don't like sharing a double bed with one of my children!) and there was some noise, but it didn't stop me sleeping with the windows closed except when a group of people started having a heated discussion at 5.20am right outside the window! The flat was clean but not spotless. The water pressure is a bit low, so need to wait a bit between flushes. Well-stocked kitchen. Decent wifi, which was important as the data was almost non-existent. Lovely new teal coloured sofas, very nice. Windows a bit stiff (old sash windows with new inner windows). It was certainly not cheap, so the "Economical.." in the title is a bit suspect, but it was worth it to be in the middle of the action. We had a great few days here. Thank you. ##### Stella Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise D. 11 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bon accueil, très bien situé Nous avons apprécié l’opportunité d’occuper l’appartement plus tôt dans la journée car il était disponibleL’emplacement est idéal, près du Royalmile. ##### Louise D.

Ok, the location is incredible, we were so lucky to be close to absolutely everything. In addition, the flat is perfect. Comfortable, clean and with everything we needed. A decent kitchen, a washing machine, good shower and a bath made it easy to feel at home. Communication was excellent too. The apartment made our week long stay at the Edinburgh Festival absolutely perfect. ##### Elliot C.
