Fantastic stay close to Edinburgh Castle. The unit was clean and spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well equipped. Getting groceries was easy with shops nearby. The washer/dryer was useful. The beds were comfortable. More than enough room for our group of 5 adults. And having 2 full bathrooms was great.

Excellent option for a family stay

As a family, we stayed 8 nights and just loved this location and property. It was an excellent home away from home, with a great kitchen, laundry options, plenty of space for downtime, two showers and a superb location for seeing Edinburgh. We were able to walk to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh train station, the castle, University of Edinburgh and lots of other locations very easily.

Edinburgh Adventure

What a spacious and well-appointed property! We were delighted with our accommodations in Edinburgh. It was a treat to be practically in the shadow of the Castle for our stay in Scotland’s capital city! Beds were comfortable, showers had nice pressure and the lounge was spacious. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect!

This was our second stay at this location and it was just as great as the first time. Location is great, management is very responsive, flat was clean and quiet. Has having you need in the kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. Even my husband, whose hobby is complaining, had nothing negative to say about the flat. And what could be better than stepping out the front door and seeing the castle? I’m hoping for a third stay next year!
