Picturesque Perfection
Judy and Mark were so friendly and helpful in planning our dream vacation. We couldn't have asked for more. The flat was perfect for all of our family to explore this great city. We got ready for our wedding and our photographer loved this location and the lighting. If you are able to handle the stairs without a lift, we highly recommend this flat for your stay!!

Perfect week.
A spacious luxurious property. Beautiful bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. A good sized open plan area so everyone was together. Great location, easy to walk to the Royal Mile and Arthurs Seat. It helped that we had perfectcweather with sunshine and blue skies the entire time.

Great place for a larger group
The flat had plenty of space for the 12 of us that stayed here (6 couples). The space was clean, very well laid out, and just a lovely spot. The host was very responsive. All doors were accessed electronically so all of us had keys to the space which was convenient. Of note, if you have anyone with accessibility requirements, the place is three floors up with access by stairs only. The location was great! A very close to walk to Arthur’s Seat or a short walk to the Royal Mile and Waverley Train Station, or take a bus or tram anywhere in the city. There is a small grocery store just below the apt, and another just down the street. Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby. Wonderful space!

Wonderful flat! Everything we needed in a great spot.
Tons of space - more than we needed. Everything was lovely, not missing a thing. A decent walk from old town, but still within a walk. Nice to also be close to hiking at Arthur's Seat. Just wonderful. Would gladly stay here again.

Absolutely fantastic! We have rented other places that when you show up the reality and the photos do not align. So not the case with this rental !! What an awesome place. It was clean very spacious. We didn’t use the kitchen (there are so many cafes and restaurants close by) but it looked very well kept and supplied. The bathrooms were wonderful with nice tall showers !! The beds we comfy. It was super clean. Tons of space!! The building was easy to navigate and the location was perfect. Close enough to walk to everything but not on a noisy street!! Highly recommend !!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful week

Great stay for wedding party
Beautiful place in a great location. Bride, groom, and family stayed for a little less than a week and all wished we could have stayed much longer. Loved it so much we took pictures of the place to remember the wonderful time we had.

Everything and more
Lovely stay at this extremely well equipped apartment (flat?). First of all, this place is big, the bedrooms are all a nice size, large bathrooms, very large common area (dining table) and kitchen. Bathrooms are all very comfortable, clean with excellent water pressure. The kitchen, well the kitchen is outstanding. Espresso machine, kettle AND french press - a coffee lovers dream. The location is excellent, easy 15-20 minute walk to the Royal Mile with other attractions along the way. There are numerous grocery stores (markets) within a couple of blocks and many pubs and restaurants in this area. Parking can be challening, but following the house instructions made that even easier. All-in-all just about a perfect rental. I would definitely do it again, thank you hosts!

Luxurious and Spacious Flat near Edinburgh Center
Beautifully decorated flat with spacious bedrooms and common areas close to the city center. The kitchen was well furnished with all the essentials for a large family or group. We made frequent use of the kitchen by ordering frozen meals from Cook, which are very good and saves lots of time for touring or relaxation. The bedding were exceptionally comfortable with ample space in each. The flat combines great comfort with nice touches of luxury. The flat is very convenient to many of the main sites, including great hiking to Arthur’sSeat and playgrounds at nearby Meadow Park. A large number of restaurants nearby including MeMed a Turkish restaurant that is like walking into Istanbul with very good food. The climb up to the apartment is a little challenging mostly because of the luggage on the first and last day. We were 3 generations ranging in age from 14 months to mid 70s, and each thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
