Superb

Location could not be beaten. Edinburgh Castle less than 300 metres away. We got to see and listen to a Madness Concert that was playing at the Castle. View of Edinburgh city from lounge room windows were incredible especially at night.

Ramsay Garden Stay

Staying in your flat was absolutely perfect! From the enormous flat, its quaint layout, and amazing views, our stay was very special. It was extremely close to The Royal Mile and every eatery, bistro, and coffeehouse to satisfy even the most discriminating visitor. It was an absolute pleasure staying in your flat. Thank you for making our stay such a marvellous experience. We will definitely recommend you to all our friends when they visit.

Old town Edinburgh

Property was unfortunately listed incorrectly as an apartment with a balcony. Turned out there was no access to a balcony. In addition, coffee maker did not work and owner refused to take a loo at it during our stay. The property is remotely managed by PassTheKeys and the while they were responsive to my e-mails, they really didn’t do anything to help address issues. Would not rent from this host again and would also avoid any property managed by PassTheKeys. Very unfortunate as the location of the apartment is stellar.
