(5 reviews) Our unit was just as in the pictures - it was nice and cozy. The kitchen cupboard was a pleasant surprise. The bed seemed slightly larger than other properties. Our unit was up 2 long flights of stairs (no lift), so be prepared. It is on a quiet street and close to Princes St and a ton of restaurants and stores. The shower was roomy, but the shower hardware was a bit flimsy. Overall, I would recommend.

(4 reviews) Best Location across from Cathedral st Giles. In the heart of everything. This apartment has everything you need for a sightseeing stay. Can be noisy at night with crowds but if you choose to stay here you should expect it. My only suggestion is to replace the mattress. It feels worn and saggy. Joivy was a great company to work with.

(4 reviews) The apartment is very small and a bit far from the center, you need a car or a bus to reach it. The hall is narrow and the bathroom is small, one bedroom is small and barely fits a double bed. There is a hanging bed but it is not equipped and the ladder is broken. The apartment is clean and the kitchen is good but the sheets are worn out. The apartment only fits two people, contrary to what is written that it fits four, but there is no sofa bed, even just a sofa in the hall Reviewed on Aug 6, 2025
