Amazing flat including great amenities and perfect location. Only downside is the significant noise from the street. No fault of the agency but zero soundproofing so definitely bring earplugs. Other than that, I highly recommend and would stay there again.

Property management was quick in helping us with a parking problem. Every hotel is in the same situation as there's only free parking at a church. Otherwise you have to pay €10 a day between eight and 6 o'clock. But the area was great and we had a fun time.

Great location, close to everything you need

Our family came from London to visit Edinburgh. We loved it. Our stay was great. The only downside is that there isnt a lift. So we had to carry up things and down the stairs, including my 16 month old son and his big stroller. Other than that, its a great place to stay!! Super clean and pretty updated.

What a wonderful place to stay. I never dreamed we’d be able to book such a lovely place to stay with views of St John’s and Edinburgh Castle from our window. Staff was friendly and helpful, and I can’t thank them enough.

Fantastic!

The heated flooring in the en suite bathroom was ideal, and the entire apartment was wonderful. The furnishings was everything cosy and practical. The dining room and kitchen all went together flawlessly, and the living room was the ideal size, light, and cleanliness. My niece and daughter adored their accommodation, and the bathroom was the ideal size for doing makeup and other necessities. It's conveniently located near restaurants, cafes, the train station, and buses. On my subsequent trip, I plan to stay there once more.

Lovely apartment. Very central. Well appointed. But noisy but as the bedrooms were at the back of the property in Flat 4 we couldn’t hear the noise from there. Great view of the castle.

Wonderful location and close to so much including beautiful views of the castle. The apartments were beautifully appointed and fully stocked. Only complaints the entrance way of the building frequently had trash left outside it. The check-in process could be more accommodating particularly regarding the possibility of an early check-in. We hadn't slept all night due to a problem with delays in our flight and when we arrived to drop off our luggage there wasn't even a rest room or water made available. No ability to check in even 5 minutes early although we shared how exhausted we were. Need to improve the customer service.

The outside entrance had cigarette butts and overall did not look presentable. As you entered the stairs smelled moldy and would be difficult for older people to navigate with luggage. There was no place for our luggage and there was hardly no space on either side of the bed to get in or out. The kitchen was well equipped but the appliances were hard to figure out as they are very different from North American appliances. Some instructions would have been helpful. The view of the castle and area was great but the windows were dirty and could use cleaning. Location was very good , close access to transportation, restaurants etc.We would not recommend this place to our friends.
