Great location!
We had a wonderful stay in Edinburgh. Fiona was great with communication prior to our arrival. I was a little confused as how to get into the flat, but I was able to call and she helped me get in with no problems. I would recommend this flat to any person or couple looking to stay in the heart of Edinburgh.

What a fantastic stay!
Personally we felt like the property was even more roomy than the pictures showed (often the reverse can be true). Everything was very clean and full of amenities. You walk right out onto the Grassmarket area and the start of Bow/Victoria St, so just a great location to explore. Tons of shops, restaurants, pubs right there, and good groceries are very close by as well. The host (Fiona) was very helpful and responsive. We'd highly recommend staying here! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Lovely stay!
Fiona's flat was the perfect location for us to explore Edinburgh during our time there. It's literally directly off the Grassmarket at the foot of Victoria Street - plenty of shops and restaurants. Easy walking distance to popular locations in Old and New Town. The flat was just as described and had all the amenities you'd need. While we didn't make use of the kitchen for cooking, having the kettle and french press available for coffee and tea was perfect. (Fiona, thank you for having tea bags, coffee and milk available for us, and for the delicious tea cakes as a treat!) If we are ever back in the area, we would rebook this flat with Fiona in a heartbeat.

Edinburgh Gem in Grass Market
Could not ask for a better location in all of Edinburgh as Grass Market is where you want to be. The Apartment itself as well as communication is as good as it gets, and we've rented several throughout Europe over the years. If you are looking for a full-size Apartment equipped with everything you need, look no further than less beautiful Apartment. We would rent it again in a heartbeat. We were there for 6 days and had a great time in this wonderful city. Thanks Fiona for all your help.

We had a great stay in this perfect location at the base of Victoria Street, the most photographed street in Edinburgh (so I hear). We spent 10 days there and it felt very comfortable with easy access to Old Town. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful, large and well equipped apartment in old town Edinburgh. This is a perfect location to explore Edinburgh by foot and see all the sites. There are lots of great restaurants and stores just outside the flat but it is tucked away in a little alcove just off the main street so it is also pretty quiet as well. We highly recommend this apartment.

About the host

Hosted by Fiona

Host profile image
I am a working mother living in Edinburgh. I grew up in Aberdeen in Scotland and have since lived and travelled in Azerbaijan, Australia and Finland. I've now been back in Scotland and in this fantastic city for many years, and I can really say that Edinburgh feels like our home.
There are so many hidden places to discover in (and around) Edinburgh, it constantly surprises me even after years of living here.

I look forward to sharing this beautiful city with you. :D

Why they chose this property

It's a beautiful mix between modern and traditional. A historic 200 year old building with all the luxury of modern living! I love that the apartment is right in the city centre and that you can experience all the buzz of the city by foot.
