Perfect Location

We enjoyed our stay at this clean and cozy flat. With beautiful views, restaurants and stores within walking distance, and the castle only a short walk, this was the perfect spot for us. Maureen gave us a warm welcome with fresh fruit and flowers. We hope to return soon.

Great Location for Edinburgh and Fringe

Apartment was perfect for 2 people visiting Edinburgh for first time. Location was convenient for easy walk to sight seeing areas and Fringe activities. Really appreciated Maureen accommodating our very late check in. Staying in this apartment provided a perfect ending to our 2+ week vacation in Ireland and Scotland.

Edinburgh getaway

We couldn’t have had a better time! Maureen was kind and helpful. The apartment was impeccably clean and so centrally located that it was so easy to either walk or take a bus to anywhere we wanted to go. We would definitely book this again. Be mindful that it is in the heart of the city and there is street noise which is to be expected, even at night. However the excellent location and beautiful accommodation make it all worth while. Pack the ear plugs and have a great time!

Great Apartment and Great Location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in July 2024. Spacious for two. Maureen was a very gracious and accommodating host. This is a fantastic location for short walks to the Royal Mile and New Town. Great view of Edinburgh Castle! Walk to the Tram and Train. Great food and pubs nearby.

Fantastic location to explore Edinburgh!

Maureen the host was amazing and greeted us when we arrived. The location was great, a little off of the main touristy roads but a 10-15 minute walk to everything. Highly recommend booking this place for a couples trip as it’s a great home base for Edinburgh. If you do, be sure to go to Hey Palu (a great cocktail bar right around the corner.

The best flat with the best view!

Maureen is by far the best host I’ve ever had the pleasure of renting from! She was so polite, accommodating, cheerful, and conversational. Her flat is absolutely gorgeous, very clean and easy to get to, and the view from the windows of Lothian Road and Edinburgh Castle is unparalleled! Highly recommend staying here; we loved it!

Perfect First Trip To Edinburgh

My wife and I visited Edinburgh for the first time during a long overdue vacation. The apartment was perfect for us. It was close to all the main sights with wonderful views of the castle. Maureen was very helpful and made it easy for us to check in after a long trip. Overall, we really enjoyed our time staying at the apartment. It was clean with charming updates and furniture, a nice kitchen, and a comfortable, cozy bed. We would highly recommend!

Lothian

Maureen couldn’t have been a better host. She met us at the property, provided many additional unexpected amenities, and helped us with learning the TV. This property is so clean and modern, it was easy to relax in. Also, so close to everything we wanted to see and experience. Located in the city, city noise is to be expected as in any city. We would stay here again, for sure. Cheers

Impeccable

This suite was of highest quality in our view. Clean, organized, well described with great amenities. We appreciated the treats. Maureen was extremely helpful and resourceful. The only small downside, out of the owner’s control is the noisy street below.

Lovely Apartment, Great Location

This is a clean, attractive, comfortable apartment in a very convenient location. The bed is very comfortable and the plumbing is modern. It is an easy walk to most of the highlights of the city and a short walk to Haymarket or Waverly train stations. Maureen met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the building and the apartment. She couldn't have been more welcoming and pleasant to work with. We really liked the apartment and would happily stay again.

Beautiful apartment well located

This lovely, modern apartment was very comfortable and well stocked. It is located wihin walking distance of Edinburgh's most famous sites. Maureen, the host, was so helpful and friendly. She met us upon arrival and was available when needed. The apartment is on the fourth floor and has a lift for ease of access. Because it's on the top floor, you have a wonderful view of Edinburgh Castle from the bedroom and living room windows. We loved our two week stay and would definitely stay here again in the future.

Great location; Immaculate Apartment

The apartment's location allowed for easy access to the Royal Mile. Many dining options in the area. Unexpected and very much appreciated extras included fresh flowers, fruit, milk, tea and coffee. Maureen met us at the apartment to welcome us and explain everything. Communication via text was easy. The king size bed was the most comfortable bed we had on our GB trip! I highly recommend this apartment. It was perfect for us.

Wonderful mini break

What a wonderful apartment ! I would highly recommend as it is in a great location and is a well kept and cosy place. It was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. The apartment has everything you need with lovely touches of flowers, fruit and milk in the fridge-even umbrellas and shopping bags if you need them! Communication between the owner was prompt at all times and it was lovely for her to meet us with recommendations for restaurants etc. Lothian Road is very busy with lots of traffic but we were prepared with ear plugs and we loved watching the busy street below. It also gave us lots of options for restaurants and pubs. Would highly recommend.

Edinburgh Flat

This property was perfect for our stay in Edinburgh! Great location, walking distance to the castle, Royal mile and other sites, but there are also busses nearby if needed. A few different grocery stores are also nearby along with many restaurants. The flat was perfectly clean as well. The bedroom is large with room to hang clothes and leave luggage. The little storage room has a place to hang dry clothes and there is also a laundry room in the building. The host very thoughtfully provided laundry detergent, dish detergents and really nice soaps and shampoo/conditioner as well. She also provided coffee, cookies and fresh fruit. Overall, you can’t go wrong with this property!
