Great location and nice place

The location was excellent! Stayed there with my wife and kids and we had a good time. We did hear noise from bars and restaurants but were okay with it just because of the location.

Sightseeing Edinburgh

The apartment was centrally located with a view of the Grassmarket, spacious, and comfortable. All the sights were within easy walking distance. We felt very comfortable and would gladly return. The booking and subsequent communication with Gavin were excellent. Many thanks to Gavin and Donna.

Lovely old place!

This is a great place to stay to visit Old Edinburgh. I love quirky old places right in the heart of historic areas. The place is old so don’t expect a big modern house. It was a bit noisy at night but we had earplugs. It was clean, convenient, and comfortable. Loved it!

Fantastic location! This property is located right on Victoria Street (Diagon Alley!) and within a super easy walking distance of the Royal Mile and literally everything. You absolutely cannot beat this spot! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Access to the flat was super easy and our host was helpful and communicative. The space was very comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed. We also really appreciated the snacks left for us. Thank you! Only a few minor negatives, because it is in a popular area, there can be some street/alleyway noise at night. Also, if you have mobility issues, the only way to access the flat is by a flight of stairs. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Experience in the Heart of Edinburgh

Gavin was a great host. Communication was very good. The location of the condo is right in the historic area of the city. We felt very safe and were in awe of the buildings, pubs, stores, coffee shops and walkabity of everything. Just a heads up that there are 33 narrow, spiral stairs up to the unit so accessibility could be an issue for some people. We would highly recommend this place.

Great Location!

This property was in a great location for exploring Old Town Edinburgh. It is right in the heart of shops, dining, pubs, and historical sites. My only caution would be that, because of several pubs nearby, the street noise is a bit louder late into the evening. We traveled in the off season, but during busy times I can imagine that it could be much louder and more raucous outside.

This is great and fully functional apartment right in the heart of the city. It is close to all the tourist attractions and had everything we needed to spend a comfortable few days there. It did get a little loud at the weekend due to the proximity to the center but the room at the back quiet and we knew that going in due to the great location. We will definitely look to book again next time we come to edinburgh.

Amazing stay in Edinburgh--Would love to stay here again!

Had a great time here for our stay in Edinburgh. This is a fun and lively area. The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Two very comfortable beds and a clothes washer and dryer are a big plus. I do think folks should be aware the unit is up a flight of stairs on a spiral staircase, so be prepared to carry any luggage or bags when you arrive and depart. This wasn't a problem for us at all though. I would love to stay here again if we ever go back!

The location could not have been better; value was exceptional. It must be made clear, however, that it takes two flights of stairs (32 steps in a rather narrow spiral staircase) to gain access to the flat. Having said that, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great little apartment in the middle of the city

This place is a no frills, affordable two bedroom apt at the bottom of one of the iconic streets in Edinburgh. It can get loud at night as there are several late night clubs/bars nearby but you quickly get used to the city noises. I would definitely stay here again.
