A perfect stay on the mile
This is a great location in the city and a space that made it feel like home away from home. We loved hanging out in the living room between long walks exploring the city. Duncan was a great host, super communicative, and made check-in and check-out easy as pie. Would definitely recommend for future visits!

Amazing Holiday Flat
Wonderful location right on the Royal Mile and close to train station/buses. Multiple great restaurants nearby, with several right across the street. Clean, comfortable flat with space for our family to spread out. Beds were lovely and flat was well-outfitted. Duncan was also a great communicator and responded immediately to our questions and also offered some excellent suggestions for our stay. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Edinburgh.

Duncan communicated all the info that we would need, which made our stay delightful. He responded quickly to questions that we had. No details were overlooked in this cozy Royal Mile flat.

Wonderful spot
Apartment was exactly as advertised from the listing. Very clean, well-heated, and super convenient to the Royal Mile sites and the train station. Appreciated the umbrellas as Scottish weather is certainly unpredictable. Place felt safe and price was reasonable. Duncan was great at communicating (why we picked this listing as others mentioned him) and check-in and out was easy. Would stay here again if I needed two bedrooms.

Super convenient
We stayed for a week. We could pop down to cafes or the grocer on the corner. Dinner across the street at White Horse Oyster Bar was a favorite. Ten minutes to the trail for Arthur’s Seat. There was some street noise on Friday and Saturday nights, but not terrible. The apartment is well stocked and comfortable. Good WiFi. We would definitely stay here again.

We were there for the Fringe and this was our best location yet. Duncan was an excellent communicator and the place was really comfortable, light and bright. As expected, there was some noise Friday and Saturday nights but that’s what Edinburgh and the festival are all about. Loved it.

Royal Mile - hidden gem
This flat is a great place to stay in Edinburgh, right in the Royal Mile - mid way between the Castle and Holyrood. Despite the austere exterior and entry, the flat is cozy and comfortable with a well appointed kitchen and laundry. The main sitting room is great for hanging out and has a place for dining. Duncan (the host) is on top of everything, providing clear instructions and quick answers to any questions.

Awesome location!
I have been communicating with Duncan about this trip for 9 months. Wanted to take my daughter and granddaughter to celebrate her high school graduation with something special and memorable. Duncan did NOT disappoint! Wish there was an option of more than 5 stars as he deserves them. Flat could not be more conveniently located. Do not hesitate to stay here!

Royal Mile apartment
The location was very convenient to all of the major attractions. The apartment was very comfortable with nice size living room and bedrooms. The bathroom was rather tight with little space to place toiletries and could use some upgrading. If you're driving yourself the arrival may be somewhat stressful. There's no "legal" place to park for unloading and loading except right on the curb of the busy street and the closest parking garage is a couple of blocks away so try to plan ahead for that. The building entry could use some upgrading and cleaning, but get past that and the apartment is comfortable and quiet.
