We loved the neighborhood. The park nearby was pretty and there were a few cute pubs around the corner. The apartment had the loveliest artwork and was extremely comfortable. We were even able to get in early which was wonderful.

Stay here and nowhere else! This gorgeous flat has everything you need! It has original charm with modern updates and amenities. It is walking distance to almost all major attractions and was easy to access. The neighborhood was safe and quaint. Honestly, the coziness and decor of the flat was the best part. It even has a beautiful outside space for sitting. I would absolutely recommend this flat. The host Jane was also very helpful. Book this now!

The place to stay in Edinburgh

This home was such a highlight of our trip to Edinburgh. From the layout with large windows and a private garden at the back to all modern appliances, it mixed the charm of a Jane Austen story with modern day convenience. Would definitely visit again.

Family vacation in Scotland

Lovely, comfortable rental that suited our family (My wife, myself and our three children ages 6, 10 and 11) very well. Took us sometime in the rain trying to figure out the combination lock on the front door, but after we figured that out, it was a nice experience for 3 days.

Beautiful house in great location

We had an amazing stay here! The house is wonderful and whilst it has all mod cons, it also retains its period festures. The house was warm, check in was easy and the host had great communication. Easy walking distance through The Meadows to the town centre and shops just round the corner. It was nice to have a little back garden and 2 bathrooms! We would definitely stay here again.

Great Place!

The living space and kitchen were great. The living room is very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped. The location was absolutely perfect! Far enough away from the crowded city, but a short walk through the park and right back in the city. We enjoyed walking around the town of Marchmont and Bruntfield. This is a must stay. Highly recommend.

Having stayed at various houses for the Fringe over several years, this was definitely the best - great location, great facilities, hassle-free check in and communication generally and it was great to have a garden (and the weather to use it!). Cannot recommend highly enough.
