“Lovely retreat after a busy day”
Although we never had the opportunity to meet Moira, she was a fabulous host from booking the flat, to arranging a cab for us on our last day. When we arrived, there was milk, yogurt, and orange juic… More

“Cosy”
Lovely, well equipped cosy apartment in a former tenement block. Everything worked and the very large bed was exceptionally comfortable. Conveniently positioned in the Old Town for both the Grassmarket and Lothian Road. Ideal self-catering accommodation for two. Recommended.

“A great Edinburgh apartment”
This exceptionally comfortable and caringly decorated dwelling is very well situated within a three minute walk from the Grassmarket and really does make for a fantastic base from which to explore Edinburgh and beyond. Moira and Brian were fantastic hosts and very welcoming presences with all of the comforts and equipment carefully considered. The place feels very safe and secure and Moira and Brian have provided a space that is very very clean and Covid secure whilst certainly feeling very homely. Over and above this they kicked the stay off with a very nice bottle of wine, tea, biscuits and milk. This comfortable and cool flat with very many nice touches really cannot be recommended highly enough!

“Perfect little apartment”
We arrived last night and Moira’s apartment is the most quaint, quirky, perfect little apartment for a break in Edinburgh. Everything is spotlessly clean (bedding and towels smelt lovely which makes a fantastic change from some of the musty bedding we’ve experienced in other apartments), and there was milk and biscuits left and stock of items to make hot drinks. There is a folder full of information and advice on the local area which has proved very useful. Our 15yr old daughter fell in love with the apartment and wants to live here! :0) There is a strip place across the street but there were no issues or noise coming from the place, was very discreet and well behaved and in a city it’s to be expected that you can be next to this sort of place so no issues there. Would 100% recommend the apartment.
