The apartment is in a fantastic location. The check in process was very easy and the host communicated very well prior and during our stay. The apartment is very clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We had a great stay.
Host was amazing!!! Responded to all of my questions almost immediately. Amenities were top notch. Apartment was beautiful, clean and roomy. The washer/dryer and dishwasher were added bonuses. Location was incredible right on the Royal Mile. This was my first time ever using a Vrbo and it won’t be my last.
Shahid respond to all communications very quickly and was very helpful.We had a wonderful weekend in the apartment which was clean and well equipped. The location was excellent
The accommodation was perfect and central for family inc two teenagers. Close to all the main sights we wanted to see on short visit following attendance at family wedding.
So glad we chose to stay here. The owner was really helpful and responsive. The flat was great and the location could not have been better! Check in was easy too!
My family of 5 loved this Edinburgh property right in the middle of the Royal Mile. It was spacious, clean, and in the most perfect location. I would highly recommend!
Had a lovely time during our stay. It is conveniently located on the Royal Mile with 3 bedrooms which was perfect for our needs. The host communicated very well, and the property was just as described. I would highly recommend staying here when visiting Edinburgh.
Old Town is so gorgeous and charming, and this place was a very central, really wonderful homebase for our trip. We adored it! The host was great & very communicative / helpful along the way. Highly recommend!!
We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect. Right in the middle of the royal mile. We were there for the Fringe Festival and could watch the street performers from our window. Communication was great and the apartment was wonderful.
Great location right on the Royal Mile. Clear communication and everything we needed. Quiet bedrooms even though the front of the property faced the street. Only drawback was the tight winding staircase, which was ok for us but may not work for some travelers.
Very comfortable and well located. Only challenge is the narrow winding staircase and the need to arrange parking if anyone has a car. Once in place, everything the city has to offer is within minutes walk. Property was clean, airy, bright. Thank you!
From the location, the cleanliness, the communication, and layout of the apartment, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. This was the best location imaginable. Close to train station, bus station, all the restaurants and shops and also where our tour bus picked us up! Excellent spot!The communication with our host was also fantastic! Very responsive with very easy to follow check in procedure. Finally, the layout was perfect for my husband, myself and two adult children. It was so fun to watch the people go by through the huge windows overlooking the Royal Mile. The bedrooms were all toward the back of the apartment which helped with any street noise. And this was by far the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. You seriously can’t go wrong staying here!

We had a fantastic time during our stay. We were there for work that was linked to the fringe festival. The location was perfect for enjoying all the fringe related festivities, sight seeing such as the castle, witches well etc. Amazing restaurants were short walking distances from the the property. The property itself was clean, super cute and charming. We landed very early and were able to drop our luggage off and were even let in earlier then expect. The communication with the owner was great and exceeded all my expectations; incredibly kind, generous and helpful. If I got to Edinburgh again I would stay here and will recommend it to friends/colleagues.
