Two couples enjoyed this apartment in the heart of the Royal Mile. Unbeatable location with comfortable accommodations. Plenty of room, beds comfortable and had everything you would need for a fantastic stay. We enjoyed watching out the window at the crowds below. Very quiet however to sleep. Unbeatable stay!!!

Everything at this apartment on the Royal Mile was great. Plenty of room, very clean, excellent location, and the host was easily accessible. This VRBO made our visit to Edinburgh a great stop on our tour of Scotland.

Honestly, there was really nothing that I could think of negatively that I could write about this booking. Great location, great host/communicator, reasonably priced for the location. For us it was an awesome vacation. Clean and property was exactly as described. If you have difficulty getting up and down stairs, then maybe not the place for you, but then again, Edinburgh would not be a good place to visit if you don't want to climb stairs/hills. Overall, we completely enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!

Great Location for trip to Edinburgh
Stayed two nights while we explored Old Town Edinburgh. Excellent location. Taxi can drop off right out front of the apartment. Accommodations we clean and comfortable. There is 5 flights of stairs to climb but it was manageable. Very close to everything. Coffee shop right downstairs. Apartment did not have a hair dryer or bath products (shampoo/body wash) so need to bring your own other than that it was a spectacular space.

Clean, tidy and well equipped apartment with a fantastic location. Owners were very responsive to queries. Only downside for us was the amount of stairs to apartment (no lift) particularly for older guests. That said can highly recommend.
