Description
New cleaning procedures have been implemented in response to Covid-19 to ensure the safety of our guests, staff and other residents at the property. These include enhanced cleaning and disinfection of hard surfaces and high touch areas, Covid-19 risk assessment carried out and documentation of all cleaning procedures. This has enabled us to get Certification under the "We're Good To Go" scheme in partnership with Visit Scotland.
This is a contemporary one-bedroom apartment, situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in Edinburgh's New Town just 10 minutes' walk from Princes Street and 5 Minutes from Stockbridge. This is a perfect location for a city break without the noise and bustle of many of Edinburgh's city centre apartments. Completely stocked with brand new very high-quality furnishings and equipment in November 2011.

Response from the owner Hello Araup, Thank you for your review. I am glad that you enjoyed your week in the apartment. Tucked away in a quiet side street and just a 10 to 15 minutes walk from the city centre and just a few minutes walk from the vibrant Stockbridge area and Royal Botanic Gardens it is in a great location. I hope that you will stay with us again and I would be grateful if you would recommend us to your family and friends. Regards Steven

Response from the owner Thank you for your review. It was great to meet you again. I am glad that you enjoy your time in the apartment and want to keep coming back. I put a lot of work into keeping the standards up so it really means a lot to me to have this recognised. There is a wide variance in Edinburgh of not just the standards of the property but also the service that guests receive from the owners which sometimes is overlooked when guests are selecting a property to stay in. I run my apartments full time and my business is founded on our high standards and great customer service. I meet all of my guests at the property to firstly make sure they can get access, to ensure they are happy, to answer any questions they may have & provide advise and information for their stay and to provide them with a point of contact should they have a problem or complaint. Many owners have zero live contact with their guests from booking to check out. Until next time. Regards Steven

Response from the owner Thank you Odette, We are glad that you had everything that you needed and found the apartment comfortable. We work hard to keep it feeling homely rather than like a generic hotel room. We think the location is great too. Very close to the city centre but yet quiet. Many of the apartment is this area suffer from noise due to car on the cobbled roads. Fortunately we do not have this problem. We hope to see you again soon. Regards Steven

Response from the owner Thank you for your kind review and for leaving the apartment so tidy. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. The city centre is not far but you are right there is also a lot within a short walk from the apartment within the New Town and Stockbridge areas. It is a pleasure to have guests like you stay in the apartment and we would love to see you again. Kind regards Steven, Reta & John
