Nov 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our First Edinburgh visit We cannot recommend this property enough. The communication with agent was really helpful right from us getting off the train. 15 minute walk and had a very friendly meet and greet. Right next to the Castle and Royal Mile. Great restaurants and very characteristic pubs most with a history attached. So much to see all within walking distance. We had the pleasure of sunshine o e day followed by snow the next so had a great comparison Thankyou. We shall be returning ##### Simon K. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ann C. Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Miss The apartment is in a great location but needs a bit of updating. The flooring needs replacing. The bathroom could do with a bath mat, a handle to help you get into the bath and the toilet seat needs replacing and fixed. There is no instructions on how to use the oven and the dials have been worn away. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d89ab4a2-4f6d-42d7-9d22-a92738a3d205-1752132075949.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ann C.
