Apartment better than photos. Large sectional couch. Well stocked kitchen. Minimal noise from street pubs on street ended by 10pm. Loading zone right in front of apartment and we street parked right there as well the two days we were there. Street parking free from 6:30pm - 8am. Highly recommend without a doubt. Location right in the middle of the Royal Mile.

Neat and spacious apartments right on the Royal Mile, walkable from several restaurants, shops, and attractions. Having a kitchen with all the necessary appliances and cutlery, and a washer/dryer was a huge benefit! Communication was clear and detailed, and everything was set up in advance to help us have a smooth experience. Luggage storage is available on the first floor. The property is well-secured with several layers of doors with access codes. One minor nitpick is all rooms within the unit had auto-closing doors, including the living room - this was a little inconvenient when moving around the unit.

We only stayed here one night due to a booking mishap at another location. I wish we had stayed here for the entire week of our time in Edinburgh! Half the price of the medium-class hotel we were at, central, and very comfortable.

I can see the beautiful scenery of castle in the apartment. But it is quite exhausting for walking up to 4th floor with heavy luggage. Overall, we like this apartment.

The apartment itself was fine and we liked the gated aspect. Check in was flawless and efficient. However, the noise level is pretty bad plus there is no air conditioning. When we were there , AC wasn’t needed, but if it’s hot I would not want to stay there. 5th floor, no air -not a good combo

The location is excellent. My only issue is there was no air conditioning. The flat was very warm and uncomfortable. No one in my family slept well as it was very hot, even at night.

The postcode and the attached map on the Expedia website is inaccurate and misleading. It shows the property being nearly opposite the Holyrood parliament buildings. It is in fact right in the heart of the Royal Mile. I wanted somewhere a bit quieter to go to at the end of the day. In fact, the apartment was directly above two pubs and opposite a fringe venue.
