This flat is the absolute best! Yes, there are two flights of windy stairs to get up, but it is definitely worth it. Right on the Royal Mile! The beds are very comfy. And the host was readily available for any questions that we had. I’m already ready to book my second trip.

I was very clean and very easy to contact owner who would quickly respond. There were many shops and restaurants right out the front door. It would have been nice to know that there were 3 flights of narrow winding stairs. It was not easy for anyone with knee or walking limitations. Over all it was great.

The apartment is centrally located on the Royal Mile with a great view of the Royal Mile. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It is close to great restaurants and shops. The only down size were the 34 spiral steps up to the apartment. It was a bit of a challenge with two large suitcases. Shahid the host was very attentive and responsive. Overall, this was a wonderful apartment and stay. Thank you Shahid for a memorable stay.
