We wanted a comfotable base for family attending a wedding round the corner at the registry office. This was an ideal setting with plenty of room for people to stay and for others to visit. We liked it so much that we are booking it for another family wedding in June!

It was lovely to be met by someone from the company to show us around the flat. I was a bit put off by the street (city centre - lots of pubs and a bit grubby) but was delighted by the flat. There was very little noise in the lounge and no noise at all in the bedrooms which I still find amazing.
The wifi in the flat was brilliant and made our stay much easier.
When I next come to the festival I will aim to stay in this flat again - perfect location!! |

As a family group travelling and visiting Edinburgh on numerous occasions, we decided to give the hotel a miss and try self catering apts.
What a fantastic find this apt was, it is really well maintained and very comfortable to live in.
The location is ideal right in the centre of all the action.
The front of the accomadation faces a very busy area with lively bars adjacent but the noisy level is barely noticable and with the bedrooms at the rear we were assured of a peaceful nights sleep.
the facilities on offer are modern and the bonus of tea, coffee, and milk supplied on arrival was an excellent gesture.
Our overall assesment would be 10/10 and with the knowledge that we will return

| Good Apartment, stunning location and flat, just one thing to beware of, you need to be warn about sleeping on the portable bed in living room which is nothing wrong, but some peope may not like it. Apart from that, the property is great... friendly reception. |

| I've rented apartments in other countries in Europe and this one was about as easy as they come. The apartment was as nice and clean as the owner's pictures on the website. There were no surprises and the staff was friendly and on time. Apartment was easy to get to, airport bus to Waverly Station and then an easy walk to the apartment. Very centrally located, well furnished and roomy. Would stay there again. |

This is a very well located apartment and was surprisingly quiet for
such a busy area. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen
and baths in excellent shape. My only complaint was that the internet
hook up was not good at all. The connection speed was terrible or not
working, so basically useless. The cable TV choices were also not up
to par. I would have expected better TV service.
If the internet and TV were upgraded, this would be an absolutely
perfect spot. |

Fantastic Location |

Fantastic location just off the Royal Mile and don't be put off by the front door or entrance hall which is not as plush as surrounding flats. Living room, bedrooms and bathrooms were really lovely and it was not noisy at all (we were there the weekend of the all night Moonwalk) though the TV didn't work during our stay. The kitchen could do with some upgrading and wasn't really suitable
for full on self catering but there are many cheap restaurants nearby. Not really suitable for families with very young children but great for older ones or party of 3 adults. The key/handover arrangements weren't particularly convenient. However overall the flat was lovely and you could not get a better location for a trip to Edinburgh.

| We would definately recommend this apartment and would love to return. We stayed for a week as a group of 4 adults and one toddler and there was plenty of space for all of us: bedrooms are spacious and quiet as they are at the back of the property. Blair street is in the centre of the city and Edinburgh is a compact city we walked almost eveywhere and only used the bus to leave the city. We had a brilliant varied week: Edinburgh has everything - the sea, an urban mountain(!), old city, modern shops, a castle, a zoo... what more can you need?! Loved it, plan to return, you should go too! |

We stayed in the apartment for the weekend of our son's wedding.
There were five adults in our party and we were very comfortable. It
was clean and well equipped. The apartment is modern and spacious
and ideal for visiting the attractions in Edinburgh. The website
descriptions were accurate and I would highly recommend this
apartment. |

| The flat is very central and ideal for a weekend stay. 5 of us stayed for a boys weekend and found it very comfortable. The agents were also very friendly and helpful in pointing out the local area. Can't fault anything in the falt but wouldn't recomend 6 people staying, 5 should be the limit. |
