Everything was very clean and all the communication before and during our stay was really prompt and helpful. ##### Cathy K. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine H. 28 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic apartment in a fantastic location We travelled to Edinburgh to see Harry Styles and decided on a two night trip The apartment was fantastic beautifully presented. Clean and perfect for our needs Great location. Close to bars and restaurants and a short walk for the sightseeing and the tram to Murrayfield Gareth, as a host was beyond helpful, kept in touch throughout our journey and the bottle of Prosecco was a welcome treat when we arrived after a longer than anticipated journey Definitely, book to stay here again ##### Catherine H. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Boel B. 5 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Small, clean flat within walking distance to everything Building: first impression not the best as greeted by large bins and were also not initially sure about the safety as the flat is located in a council type block of flats (there are also some dodgy strip clubs a bit further up the street). However, the flat itself is very bright and clean, and the shower has good pressure and is hot! There is shampoos, hand wash, instant coffee and sugar which is all great. There is no dishwasher (although washer/dryer) and would only use the kitchen for very basic cooking but there are so many good restaurants within a short walking distance so that is not a problem. We felt a little cramped staying with two children and a dog but for a couple this is prefect. Furthermore, the host is really good. ##### Boel B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mooi verblijf op super locatie Het appt. is klein (we waren wel met 4 volwassenen en 2 honden ;-)) maar schoon, van alles voorzien en op een super locatie!! De eigenaar super attentive en behulpzaam. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Village Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Edinburgh.h9131632.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Edinburgh Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Park.h1781324.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh - Leith Waterfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-Leith-Waterfront.h519940.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Voco-Edinburgh-Royal-Terrace.h4895.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Edinburgh.h3516.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Edinburgh Central Queen Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Central-Queen-Street.h4924301.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Moxy-Edinburgh-Fountainbridge.h64450784.Hotel-Information) > > [Tigerlily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Tigerlily.h1518105.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edinburgh.h15710648.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Edinburgh-Haymarket by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Voco-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h52139644.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Edinburgh Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Edinburgh-Park.h13441598.Hotel-Information) > > [Britannia Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Britannia-Hotel-Edinburgh.h4533.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-YOTEL-Edinburgh.h36667881.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-West-End.h19288210.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Airport.h520429.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-Airport.h84014.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Moxy-Edinburgh-Airport.h31718853.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Airport.h31618511.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh.h664615.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information)
