The Bank Street apartment is suberbly appointed, with all that a family would require on a short visit to Edinburgh. Spotlessly clean, luxurious carpets in the bedrooms, wonderful welome from Dave. The only downside is the initial impression on entering the building, we were a bit worried! It could do with a fresh lick of paint! But once we had climbed the 60-odd stairs to the apartment we were very pleased.
The location is superb, so close to the Royal Mile, the Castle, Princes Street....everything. |

| Definately recommend this apartment. Great location, walking distance to major tourist sites,shops local transport. The apartment had nice furnishings, spotlessly clean and tidy throughout, more than enough room for 4 adults. The personal meet and greet was very welcoming and great to get some local knowledge. Definatly great value for money, can't go wrong |

Exploring Edinburgh in Style! |

The unit is very well placed to walk everywhere, and not need a car.
It was very comfortable with all modern amenities,and was beautifully decorated in a rich vintage theme.
The outlook onto bank street was interesting and even picturesque. We liked the fact that the windows opened to allow a naturalbreeze to flow through the place.
Probably the only suggestion we could make, would be to improve the map and directions as to how to find the unit. The email map currently used is not clear when printed from the internet. |

Best Flat In Edinburgh |
Reviewed by: Joel from Germany
Reviewed on: 07/05/2009 for their stay in 06/2009

| The flats offered by Glenn and Dave from Edinburgh Self-Catering are top notch both in style and comfort. We have stayed in two flats on two seperate vacations over three years and had a fantastic stay both times. The flats are spotlessly clean, possess modern amenities and retain quite a bit of charm. Nothing is left to chance as there is even a carton of milk and coffee, tea and sugar for your first morning in town if you haven't had time to go to the market. These flats are money well-spent and the privacy and convenience are well-worth the money. |

| Excellent central location. Dave who met us was prompt and brought the milk, coffee etc. to greet us. The shared entrance was rather forbidding with old green painted walls with some grafitti and lots of steps! Very fit by the end of our stay. However, the flat itself was perfect. Plenty of room and the bedrooms were brilliant. Very comfy beds and the old wooden shutters on the windows added a great touch as well as extra sound insulation. Kitchen and sitting area very tidy and servicable. The power switches needed some decifering but perfectly safe. Obviously care had been taken over the decor and furnishings. Dave prompt for our leaving and very helpful. Would use the flat again happily. |

Lovely apartment- nice sized rooms and nice shower ( although slow to drain water)
Entrance a litlle scrappy but the location and ease of access to attractions makes up for that 10 fold.
Highly recommend. |

Edinburgh Central |
Reviewed by: JennyB from Telford, Shropshire
Reviewed on: 06/04/2009 for their stay in 09/2008

| This is a beautifully appointed flat, central to 'old Edinburgh'.We were met at the door, with a 'welcome pack'.Literally seconds from the Royal Mile, minutes from the Castle, with lots of attractions a few minutes walk away.If you enjoy eating out you'll be spoilt for choice, but facilities in the flat allow home cooking too.There are many bus routes out of the City, we visited the Royal Yacht and Ocean Termimal at Leith, a 15min bus ride away.For shopaholics there's wonderful shopping, go behind Princes St. to Rose St where there are lots of smaller, specialist shops. My only slight criticism is the 'climb' up to the flat...3rd floor...I was fitter when we left!But would stay there again. |

The flat is spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The Royal
Mile and Princes Street are right outside the door, but it feels like a
retreat as soon as you enter. The views are gorgeous and Glen and
Dave are helpful and accomodating hosts. We've stayed in several
flats in Edinburgh, and this is our favorite. Highly recommended! |

This flat was perfect for our stay in Edinburgh. The person who greeted up with our keys couldn't have been more helpful and friendly and the flat itself was clean and well decorated.
From Princes Street you do have to walk up a hill to get there or quite a few stairs - there may be another route that we weren't aware of. If you want to see the castle or spend time on the Royal Mile then the location couldn't be better.
Highly recommended.
