The location and having a communal living space for the four of us friends to hang out between Edinburgh adventures was key to our high rating. I appreciated having a washing machine, given my overall Ireland/Scotland trip of 16 days. Communication with Paul was clear and easy. Beds were comfy, and home was very clean. Be ready to carry luggage up two flights of narrow circular stairs, but if we over 60 year-old ladies can do it, so can you! ##### Anna W.

Edinburgh is a very walkable city and this apartment is convenient to all the sights. The entrance is down a close (alley) off the Royal Mile and the view from the common area is onto the Royal Mile. The layout was excellent for two couples. One bedroom was off the common area and the second was separated with a doorway down a hallway. Really beautifully refinished and very spacious feeling for the square footage. I believe there are 3 units in the building and this is on the second level. You will feel that you’re in a turret as the stairs circle upwards. Really adds to the ambiance! ![The Hub, viewed to the right of the apartment. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fd622d85-f658-4e5e-a206-986f11a68d14-1747399312172.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/36a33bec-130a-42bc-bef7-6b70d306afe2-1747399316403.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/212dc1dc-21ff-4527-87a1-90f79ee61280-1747399319028.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gina B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming Flat in the Heart of Edinburgh This flat was phenomenal. Well designed and appointed, It is situated in the heart of Old Town on the Royal Mile, just steps from the castle. It was quiet at night and the beds were comfy. Just be warned, the steep spiral staircase tested our luggage-carrying skills, but it only added to the great charm of the place. Peter was a good communicator and offered great recommendations of places to eat. We also enjoyed Nok’s Kitchen and Hideout Café which are both great spots nearby. Would highly recommend!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie H. 17 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful location Our visit to Edinburgh felt more authentic for having stayed in Paul’s apartment overlooking the Royal Mile. The sights and sounds of Edinburgh surrounded us, from climbing the spiral stairs in James Court to the nearby sounds of the bagpipe that serenaded us through the open window. The apartment is modern and comfortable and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We particularly appreciated the suggestions Paul has provided for his guests in a notebook. ##### Julie H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 6 Oct 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy This apartment is in a great location but very difficult to get to. Especially if you have luggage. The street is blocked off to vehicles during the day so you have to drag your luggage a few blocks to reach the apartment. We spent hours trying to find the apartment while dragging our luggage around. We even had a local fellow try & help us & he couldn’t find it either. We missed to paid events that luckily we were able to rebook. The two flights of stairs are difficult to navigate if you have any hip or knee issues. We had 4 adults & 3 of us had a terrible time getting up & down these historical steps. They are uneven, worn out & there is no railing on the second level. The master bedroom is lovely & spacious. The second bedroom is not fit for adults as the beds are narrow & smaller than your average single bed. Not even room to roll over. It’s a very small room, the washrooms were very good & clean. Entering the main doors to the apartment stairway through the alleyway is not very welcoming. It’s dirty & there is construction & debris in this alleyway. Non of this is indicated in the write up before you book. It’s very misleading. ![Dirty glasses left in cupboard for out use](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8d89bb7f-0f66-4bcb-8529-4550af99263e-1759767332774.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia 11 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great apartment right on the Royal Mile and close to the castle. Had a washer, well stocked kitchen, drying rack (no dryer) and an awesome view. Our only problem was getting a wee bit chilly at night. There were no extra blankets and the heat was turned off with the owner not responding for 24 hours after multiple attempts to contact. He did turn the heat on for a few hours during the day while we were out but it was off again that night. Shouldn't be a problem if you are touring in the summer. Otherwise I totally recommend. ##### Cynthia Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas J. 3 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Royal Mile Wonderful flat in a super location. Walk out your door into the historic Royal Mile. Only drawback to being in the thick of everything is that it can be a bit noisy in the evening if the crowds are boisterous. Directions for locating and entering the flat were perfect and everything went smoothly. Thank you for a wonderful week! ##### Thomas J.
