Amazing apartment with incredible location

This was the perfect spot for us. The apartment is incredibly well furnished (could maybe use a few more towels, but that's a minor point) and has all the facilities needed to make a great home-away-from-home for our week in Edinburgh. Location is super central without ever being noisy so we enjoyed convenience and peace all week. Simply wonderful!!

Edinburgh City Break

This three bed apartment is ideally located on the Holyrood Road which is a ten minute walk from the centre of Edinburgh. The apartment is spacious and well equipped. Comfortable beds and everything spotlessly clean. There is a dedicated parking space for one vehicle which is a great benefit. Key pick up is a slight faff, but other than that, I highly recommend this apartment. Edinburgh Accommodation were most helpful.

Great location

Overall we loved our stay at this property in Edinburg. It's very spacious and the location is amazing. I would not stay there again though due to the squeaking floors. It's a huge problem through out the house and if you get up in the night to go to the bathroom you will wake your partner or children. The floors need to be changed out so badly. Otherwise it was a lovely place!

Quiet central location off Royal Mile.

The apartment is modern and clean. We were on the second floor looking out on Salisbury Crags. It is off the tourist streets so is quiet. Local buildings are either Government offices, university campus buildings and student residences. The apartment is fully furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. The agency was very open to responding to our questions on a timely basis. We would recommend this location and building.

Excellent VRBO Unit

We stayed six nights. It's a wonderful location. Away from the crowds, but within walking distance of the various sites. Loved having my coffee on the deck with a view of Arthur's Seat. The check in process was a bit strange. Had to walk a few blocks to pick up the key. Would be better to have the onsite concierge or the Marriott next door provide the key. Not a big deal. The unit is spacious and comfortable with all the amenities.

Edinburgh Visit

This Holyrood site is a very comfortable, well appointed property. I especially liked the state of the art kitchen, the sparkling clean feeing in all the rooms and the lovely view of Arthur’s Seat. It is also very well situated, near the hop on hop off bus lines, just steps away from the royal mile and next door to a Marriott Hotel with a wonderful concierge who happily shared his recommendations even though we weren’t staying at the hotel. The host also provided a notebook full of information about restaurants, tours, etc. The only negative was process of getting the key at a site several blocks away. So glad that was not necessary upon departure.

Wonderful Apartment

We've taken many trips to Edinburgh, most recently for our fourth trip to the Fringe, and this apartment is an easy favorite. The location is on Holyrood, close enough to everything to walk, but not in the noisy center of things further up on the Royal Mile or along North Bridge/South Bridge/Nicholson Street. There is a Tesco express about a 2-minute walk away and a nice range of restaurants within a 10-minute walk. The apartment is on the "second floor" which for Americans means the third floor. You have a great view of the Dynamic Earth structure (which is especially nice when illuminated at night) and Arthur's seat. The walk toward the center of town is heavy with buildings for the University of Edinburgh - we always felt safe. The apartment itself is modern and well furnished. There is a large kitchen and adjacent dining area. The kitchen was equipped with nice silverware and other cooking amenities. There was some coffee and tea there, but assume that you will go shopping for whatever you want on arrival. There are three decent-sized bedrooms and two baths with shower/bath. The apartment has a balcony and lots of windows for natural light. There were plenty of plugs, but if you are coming from the US/Canada please consider buying some adapters ahead of time. If not, they are easy to buy in Edinburgh at Boots or one of the many electronic shops in the tourist areas. We would highly recommend this apartment unless you want it at a time we want to stay there.
