Unbeatable location, spacious and clean. Simple check in. Loved it. Only small downside is that it’s a walk up, but if you have an issue walking up stairs in the hotel, I have bad news about Edinburgh in general. Prepare to climb lots of steps everywhere.

This property was great for two couples sharing expenses and each having a king bed with separate bathrooms. It was close to the tram station for getting back to the airport and it was in the heart of the old town. The place was clean and luxurious. Our unit was on the 2nd floor and there was no elevator but it was not an issue for us.

Amazing location. Lovely apartment with everything you need! Only issue- I wanted a king bed-it was a requirement , and got a queen. Easy code locks. Could use extra towels, salt and pepper for kitchen. Aldo- beware there is no lift. My elderly sister was challenged. But loved it overall.

Property was perfect for two people. Small kitchen was great to have. Location was awesome. Short walk to all the sites and restaurants. Very short walk to direct airport bus which was great for us. Would definitely stay if we find ourselves in Edinburgh again

Went without electricity to any outlets and the tv for the first day. A lift would have been nice but we knew beforehand that it didn’t have one. Booked this place because it had laundry facilities. Clothes smelled dirtier after washed.

Apt was very nice. Being on the 5th floor was a bit warmer and not very easy to get up to with bags. Staff was very attentive with any needs we had. Location is very convenient for busses, trains, trams and of course the royal mile.

This was our 9th lodging for our 2 week trip and one of our favorites. Having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was a luxury for my family of 4 - as well as the kitchenette and living room area. The apartment was nicely decorated, modern and clean. We didn't use the laundry facilities but it was great to see 2 washer and dryers on the floor - and the storage closet for luggage. My only complaint was I wish the property management company sent me messages in the Expedia App - even if to tell me emails were sent to my personal email account. Since we were on vacation, I wasn't checking my email so I almost missed verifying information in order to get my entry code. Also the fan in one of the bedrooms was a bit noisy and probably needs to be replaced.

Wonderful location

Our stay was wonderful! We had no trouble locating and accessing the apartment... the property even went above and beyond by calling us to let us know when the unit was ready a little earlier than expected. Location is phenomenal, everything was clean, and had everything we needed.the on-site laundry facility and baggage storage was a great bonus. Would stay again and recommend.
