The apartment was clean and had everything we needed, including a hairdryer. Good location right by all the sites a first time visitor would want to see. It was surprisingly quiet, which we appreciated - the bedrooms are in the back of the apartment away from the street. Overall, a great place to stay! ##### Susan L.

Communication with the host was great. They worked with us to get access early so we could drop off luggage, gave us assistance in navigating some traffic surprises and met us at the apartment to be sure we understood the 3 step access process and how to use various appliances. The apartment was comfortably decorated and very clean. ##### Susan B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann K.

Ideal for us as a group of 8. We had everything we needed. Comfortable and warm with individual heating in each room. The bedrooms were all located at the back of the building so away from any street noise. The location was very close to the Royal Mile and although the street may have a few characters hanging out on the front steps late at night they didn’t bother us. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Ann K.
