Quiet, Safe, Cozy, perfect location and wonderful welcome
After a crazy couple of flights to get to Edinburgh, Fiona's flat was such a welcome. We were wet and tired but upon entering, it was so clean, quiet, and warm. The card and treats that she left on the table were touching. The flat has everything you would need to cook a nice meal if you wanted to stay in. We cooked at least one meal a day. She had staples such as olive oil, milk, coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper. The grocery store was only a 7 min walk from the flat. Fiona always responded so quickly whenever we had questions leading up to our stay and during our stay. Despite it being a few steps away from the busy Grassmarket, where the flat is situated guarantees privacy and tranquility both in the day and nighttime. We highly recommend Fiona's place and hope to return in the future. Thank you Fiona!

A jewel in the heart of historic Edinburgh
The apartment is super cozy in an excellent location to let yourself immerse in Old Town Edinburgh. The kitchen is well equipped allowing cooking as it was your home away from home. My husband and I have stayed in this apartment three times already. Since we found it, we never searched for another place to stay in Edinburgh. Fiona, the owner, is always caring for her guests. This can be seen and felt in each detail in the apartment. Thank you so much, Fiona, for sharing your place with us once more.

Lovely little apartment
Great little apartment - spotlessly clean and has all you’d need for a city break. We stayed for three nights during the festival. The extractor fan from the restaurant next door was a little noisy when trying to get my daughter to bed but it was switched off soon after 10 so not a problem. Fiona was great and really communicative

This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at! The accommodations are perfect and are located in the beautiful Grassmarket neighborhood which is close to everything. I can’t wait to return!

Amazing place to stay!
We absolutely loved this apartment! The location cannot be beat - you walk out the courtyard and you're in West Bow/Victoria Street! There are many, many restaurants within walking distance, not to mention the castle and the Royal Mile. We walked everywhere. Inside, it was very clean and comfortable, and surprisingly quiet for how close it is to the tourist center. Fiona left some goodies for us in the kitchen and that was a lovely touch. The bed was comfy and the bathroom spacious. I would recommend this apartment to anyone coming to Edinburgh. It was absolutely wonderful.

Great location, clean, safe, linens and towels included as well as other common supplies. A little noisy at times but that is the trade off for being in such a central location. Highly recommended

Home away from home!
Fiona’s property in Grassmarket was our third stop on our two week journey in the UK. The flat is situated right off of Grassmarket, which is a famous square in Scotlands Capital. The location is prime… it’s close to everything in Old Town and also in a secured and safe location. Once we checked in and made our way into the flat, we were amazed with the quality and caring touches Fiona made. It looks better and is far more up to date than current pictures show. The kitchen has any and all amenities needed to cook, do laundry, or make a cuppa tea. On arrival, we were welcomed with juice, milk, tea, sugar, and famous Scottish Tablets (thank you!). Small and caring touches like this really made it a home away from home. The flat itself is pretty large compared to our other stays in the UK. We had access to TV, travel booklets and maps, in addition to a great welcome folder with any and all local information we might need on our stay. We hope to come back to Scotland again soon and hopefully get the opportunity to stay at another of Fiona’s properties. If you stay here, take the time to read though some of the many stories in her guest book, you’ll find something new and awesome to supplement your holiday. Thank you again Fiona!

Awesome property.
It was the perfect rental for us, right in the downtown area (Grassmarket), minutes from the Edinburgh castle, minutes from the Royal mile, minutes from awesome restaurants. The property was pristine, the bed was comfortable, a nicely equipped kitchen, and for two of us, plenty of space. Fiona is a great communicator providing clear and precise instructions in a timely manner. We inquired about an early check in and late checkout and she graciously accommodated our needs. We highly recommend this property in the heart of the most awesome city.
