Excellent communication, quick check in and access to the apartment. Garage is a little tight but back your automobile in after luggage is unloaded. Clean apartment, comfortable beds, appliances worked great. Very cute, simple apartment centrally located for walking adventures. Easy access to the Scottish countryside. Thank you for allowing us to have a nice place to stay for a few fun days in Edinburgh
Great place to stay, close to old town Edinburgh. Also right in the heart of new town.

Just having to meet someone at the door was real clunky and inconvenient. Man was really nice when he arrived but wish it was contactless so our trip wasn’t as impacted to get checked in. The rental was wonderful otherwise!

Great location despite the exterior entrance was a bit of surprise. Two nice bedrooms with relatively small but workable bathrooms. Kitchen well equipped. Clothes washer a plus. Garage car parking workable and safe. Primary advantage is location walkable or bus ride to city highlights.

Perfect Location to Walk Everywhere
We spent 3 days in Edinburgh and this was a perfect centralized location. Just as nice as described. Parking for one car (although tight) was very, very helpful. Enjoyed our stay there.
