Right on the Royal Mile next to the old historic Parliament building where Scotland caved to England in the 1700s and the Cathedral where Queen Elizabeth II lay in state before being brought home to England. Its location was central to everything we wanted to see. Hope to return someday and hope Apartment 10 is available. ##### Tom M. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay S.

I would stay there again absolutely.The boiler needs to be repaired, it shut down 3 times while we were there. The repairman came and got it working but said it needed a new fan. In the mean time that was 3 times we had no heat or hot water. They got someone there to take care of it and I am sure they will get the fan replaced now that we are checked out.None the less, we loved the apartment and would stay there again.

There was someone to meet and welcome us to the property. The apartment was even larger than it appears in the photos. Although we didn’t cook much we noted that the kitchen was well stocked. The location is a very easy walk from the train station and an easy walk to local grocery stores for supplies. Although in a busy section of Old Town it was quiet at night and we had no trouble with noise. We would love stay there again. ##### Lavenia C.

Fantastic apartment located in the heart of the Royal Mile. Beautiful accommodations, fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer combo. We actually wished our stay there was longer! Great layout for 2 couples. A little difficulty to check in since they are not on property and we were coming from a 3 day tour to Isle of Skye. They did charge us an extra 15 lbs for late check-in. Other than that everything was exceptional. ##### Julie M. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023
