Access Arrangements
A "meet and greet" service is operated , whereby you will be met at a property at a pre-arranged time to give access. Full instructions of this procedure can be found in the secure guest area after a booking has been completed. It is very important that an approximate arrival time is provided before arrival for this process. Entry is from 14:00 onwards but if nobody has booked to depart on your day of arrival it will probably be very suitable for us to give you entry as early as possible. Departure is by 10am (a guaranteed late departure up to 20:00 can be obtained for 50% of that daily rate. Please contact us if you want to utilise this facility and a price will be calculated).
Please note that arrivals after 19:00 will incur a range of late arrival fee.
**LATE ARRIVAL: fees, 19:00 - 22:30 - 15 pounds, 22:31 - 00:00 - 30 pounds and 00:01 - 02:00 - 50 pounds. The latest access can be given is 02:00, otherwise it is given at 08:00 the next day. ESC accept no liability for any costs involved in alternative accommodation for this 6 hour period.
A deposit of 25% is payable on booking and the outstanding balance of the rental price must be received 2 months prior to your arrival date. For bookings made less than eight weeks before your arrival date the whole rental price falls payable at the time of booking. Please note that a separate 200 pounds refundable key/security deposit must be provided prior to arrival. This is rescinded 5 days after departure.
one kingsize double in the bedroom and a sofabed in the lounge (please advise if required if there are only two guests)
This 2nd floor property can only accessed by stairs, it has no lift and therefore may be unsuitable for people with mobility issues.

Response from the manager Thank you finding the time to leave a review for the Ladystairs property. It is very pleasing that you found many positive aspects of the property. It has to be appreciated this is a very old building in the historic Old Town of Edinburgh, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the short amount of stairs are circular but they cannot be accurately be described as "narrow" and it is not difficult to navigate a typical piece of luggage. It is very typical for the communal main door of a stairwell to have a lock and another the actual apartment, the additional door is slightly unusual but does provide that extra bit of security but it is certainly is not an onerous task to open three doors. This particular guest did visit during the incredibly busy world famous Edinburgh festival and the city centre noise pollution may be increased but there has be a certain degree of anticipation of this with such fantastic city centre location only 150 metres from Edinburgh Castle on Scotland's busiest tourist street during that period. The main pedestrianised area for the street entertainment is not directly outside this property and is approx 100 metres further down the Royal mile. Regards, Glenn ESC Ltd
