“Spot on as advertised - no nasty surprises, only good ones!”

Reviewed 26 Jun 2013

I know Edinburgh quite well now but have never stayed in the Old Town or at this apartment. It was perfect though, Mark and Gordon saw to everything that we needed. (Even hair straighteners!) Not only is the apartment absolutely as advertised but also the extra lovely touches of real milk, complementary wine and a stash of real coffee meant that we really had everything we needed. Great quality bed linen too - which, let's face it, isn't always a given! Thank you Mark and Gordon for a fab stay - I'll be rebooking for my next visit :)

“Brilliant Location”

Reviewed 8 Apr 2013

Perfect for 3/4 people. Very convenient location. Friendly and helpful owner who guided us to the local eateries as we arrived mid evening. Lovely thoughtful touches like the wine and shortbread and a vase of flowers to mention a few. So much better than 2 hotel rooms.
