The wifi was hit or miss but other than that everything was great! ##### Raquel H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathleen M. 14 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### The Heart of Old Town This apartment was literally in the center of High Street. It was so easy to traverse the area and see the historic highlights of Old Town Edinburgh. There was some miscommunication on check-in procedures and wi-fi network, but that was easily cleared up by a phone call. There was also some street noise at night, but this is to be expected when you are in the middle of town, so bring some earplugs and it’s all good. ##### Kathleen M. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gaynor T. 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet spot in Edinburgh Our apartment was quite lovely, like stepping back in time, but with modern amenities. Great location on the Royal mile. We were concerned because other reviews mentioned The windows not having sufficient coverage to blackout the street lights, but they must have added nice wooden shades That worked perfectly. The only two issues I would say are the couch, which is not comfortable at all, more like sitting on a cardboard box and the bed. It’s a pretty, Brass style bed, but is on springs, which are very loud during the night when you’re turning over and we kept waking each other up, at first we thought it was a Car horn! Other than that, we were very comfortable. ##### Gaynor T. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jerry 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication The property was lacking one or two important items -- no kitchen towels!. And the bedroom blinds were insufficient to provide a darkened room for sleeping, given the light outside. I recommend proper blackout curtains. The apartment itself was very nicely kept but the indoor stairway was very shabby and did not reflect the property. It needs repair and a paint job. ##### Jerry Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicole R. 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Would have been ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ had the washing machine not took my clothes hostage This VRBO is centrally located and has an amazing check in and out process and adorable. Great for two people. The only reason I am giving it a low rating is because the washing machine took my clothes hostage the night before checkout. The washing machine is from 1995 and ran one load just fine and then the door locked on the second load. It took my 3 hours and a lot of research to figure out how to open the door to release my clothes. I called the management company but it was late at night and they had no one available until maybe 0930 so I had to take matters into my own hands. I do appreciate that they had someone to answer my call after hours. Luckily, after much work, I was able to set my clothes free. They were sopping wet and I only had a handful of hours before check out. I asked for a later checkout to allow my clothes a little more time to dry but that couldn't be honored. Long story short, if this washer model "hotpoint aquarius ultima 1000 deluxe wm23" is still in the VRBO during your stay, DO NOT USE IT! ##### Nicole R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrew 14 Sept 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Communication with host was terrible. Wouldn’t have rented if we had known about the staircase access. ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sussan H. 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute apartment on the Royal Mile So cute and convenient to everywhere! It was lovely! The only issue was finding it. It is hidden in plain sight! Blue door between hiking shop and jewelry store. I’m very happy to have stayed here. ##### Sussan H.

We were happy with this accommodation. It was right on High St, part of royal mile, so easy access from train station, close to dining and fun pubs, and easy to walk around. The kitchen, lounge area were comfy and cosy. As tall people, we found the bed too small unfortunately . Also being right on the street, the noise and light were a bit much for us… maybe some solid block out curtains needed. Otherwise, all fine. ##### Victoria N. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024
