Family Rugby Weekend
The property is very spacious and spotlessly clean. Loads of room for six people. It was lovely to meet our host Edele who was welcoming and helpful. It is located in a quiet area but short walking distance to a variety of restaurants and tram/bus stops. There is a supermarket a two minute walk away. We would definitely book here again.

Excellent accommodation
Three family members and I stayed at Edele’s apartment to attend my sons wedding and it was perfect. Spacious, very clean, comfortable and cosy. We cooked a meal on our first night in the extremely well equipped kitchen and dining area and slept very well in the comfortable beds after the festivities the following night. Edele met us on arrival and was very helpful explaining everything, her communication was excellent before and during our stay. The free parking is such a bonus in Edinburgh city centre. Thanks very much Edele.

A Fantastic Home Base
We loved our stay! The apartment was very spacious and stocked with all the basic necessities we needed for a week in Edinburgh. We were a group of 6 adults and the apartment was well equipped for a group that size—plenty of cozy living room chairs, a huge kitchen and table, etc. It had easy access to grocery, buses, the tram, and local sights. Our host made sure we felt right at home and was extremely communicative with any questions.

A brilliant stay worth repeating
We were three (senior) couples, family related. Edele's apartment was exactly what we needed. Ground level entry, large kitchen and dining area, separate lounge area, three bedrooms, wonderful location, walking distance to stores and restaurants on Leith Walk, easy access by car with free parking. The apartment was nicely furnished, with essential amenities and more. Communication with Edele was easy and frequent to make sure that we had all the information necessary. We particularly appreciated the extensive information she provided about the area, transport, restaurants and things to see and do. We all recommend Edele's apartment without hesitation!!

Spacious and comfortable, hostess was wonderful
5 adults stayed here comfortably in this spacious, attractive and conveniently located flat. It is fully appointed and the 2 bathrooms were beautiful and sufficient for a small group. The hostess, Edele, went out of her way to provide an orientation and information about the neighborhood and local transit. There was a small glitch with us not knowing how the electrical switches work in Scotland and Edele promptly came over and solved the issue. She was welcoming and in touch. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this lovely flat for a stay in Edinburgh!
