Would stay again. Only complaint was the people upstairs that would party all night every night.. I would recommend for anyone to stay here.. ##### Melissa F. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dag L. 12 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great flat in the middle of Old Town The location is great for seeing all the sites: Castle, Royal Mile, underground tours, whiskey tastings, including day trips out of the city. (The Hadrian's Wall and the Vindolanda Roman fort tour was amazing). 2-1/2 flights up, low water pressure and some rowdy late night street noise were the downsides but we'd book again in an instant. ##### Dag L.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pete R. 19 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location near Edinburgh Castle! Nice apartment near all the action. A bit loud at night (especially on the weekend), but we expected that due to its location. Just bring some ear plugs and you should be fine. Locations was perfect to be near so many attractions, surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants and cafes. Check in was easy as we were met by a representative who personally showed the apartment and how to use the kitchen equipment and heating. We loved Edinburgh and this was a perfect spot if you want to be in the old town. There’s so much to do and see! ##### Pete R.
