Stair noise to castle was a little rowdy Friday night with some singing & laughing in the wee hours. But nothing the owners could have done, we had a laugh & were able to go back to sleep. The location was great & communication was top notch. ##### Thea B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth Jul 26, 2024 Disliked: Communication Great location, was noisy. Disappointed only gave us one towel each for 4 nights, and wanted a fee for more. Let them know coffee machine not working no filter and nothing was done. Very roomy - had everything we needed - average. No washing machine which was disappointing- one room the shutters don’t close properly. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kellie H. Nov 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect The location is perfect. We were able to walk everywhere. Victoria Street, Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's seat...too many beautiful locations to name were right there. We also walked to the bus station to catch a tour outside of the city. The apartment was perfect for us. I'd imagine it could be noisy in the busier seasons but it wasn't too noisy for us. Worked out perfectly. I wanted to stay permanently but unfortunately I had to get back to my normal boring life in the US. I hope to get back to Scotland someday and stay in this same place again. ##### Kellie H.
