Guests will have access to the entire home!

Our home is located conveniently in the Old Town. Key pickup is within walking distance, and we'll provide detailed instructions for a smooth check-in. Thank you for choosing our home, and we're excited to have you as our guest!

We are GuestReady, a property manager, and we want to ensure your stay will be as smooth and comfortable as possible. We are available 24/7 should you need any assistance during your stay. Kindly note that this is a personal home, so please take good care of it as if it were your own.

The Old Town is a bustling area of centuries-old buildings and narrow alleys. At its heart, perched on an extinct volcano, Edinburgh Castle is home to Scotland’s crown jewels. The Royal Mile, a steep street lined with traditional pubs, casual eateries, souvenir shops and small museums, runs from the castle to the Scottish Parliament and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s Scottish residence.

The property is easily accessible by public transport and car.

The nearest train station, Edinburgh Waverley, is just a 15-minute walk.

Edinburgh Airport is a 26-minute drive from the property.

This property is a self-check-in property, and you will be requested to verify your identity before being able to check into the flat. You can check in any time of the day as long as you respect our standard check-in time (3 PM).

Also, we charge £50 for each set of lost keys (security keys may cost more). There may be an additional cost to replace the locks for security purposes. So, please keep your keys safe.

There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking on the property. If our team discovers evidence that this rule has been breached (e.g., smoke smell, ashes, butts, etc.), we fully reserve the right to charge a minimum of £300 for the smoking fee.

We do not allow parties, large gatherings, loud noises, or outside guests. Should we receive sufficient evidence of such activity, we reserve the right to cancel your stay (without a refund) and may involve a security team to evict you. Any associated cost will be charged to you via your security deposit. Local authorities may also be present (if required).

Great location, very clean, easy access and communication. We stayed for 2 nights and were able to do all we wanted right from the flat. Would recommend!

The key is NOT at residence. Awful communication with host. Told to get key at "Keynest" a 10 minute walk. Key wasn't there. Then told to get key in opposite direction at another place! Key was now at "kickass hostels". Then we were accused of showing early. That was a lie! We arrived spot on expected time. Flat is up 5 flights of stairs. No mention of this. No hot water in bathroom sink. Shaved in cold water. Residence was clean but sparse. No basic breakfast provisions. Its simply not worth an over $400 per night stay. The price is based on location. One to avoid! kickasdsomething or othe

Apart from the stairs it's a really good flat that I would highly recommend. : It has been beautifully redecorated. The kitchen is fully equipped and brand new. The sofa and the bed are very comfortable The photos are exactly the same as the real thing. Washer and dryer included Bathroom mirror with sensor light Both bedrooms have windows overlooking the castle. Wardrobe with plenty of hangers and an iron. We checked with the team beforehand that there was washing detergent so we didn't bring it. But in fact, there is no washing up liquid included. Bathroom toiletries are in very small cans. And there is only soap but no shower gel. It would have been better if there were instructions on how to use the shower. It took a long time to use it for the first time. I wish there were instructions for the heating equipment. Because there are travellers from some countries who don't have the experience to use it. It is not suitable for travellers with big luggage as they have to climb up to the third floor. I often hear strange tourists screaming outside in the middle of the night.
