The size, layout, and location were everything I hoped for. It was the best stay of our trip by far. Walking distance from anything in the Core, the Royal Mile is a short walk away. Lots of pub and shopping options within a 10 min walk.

Very easy to find and a very convenient location. Luggage storage was perfect, as we got there a bit early. The apartment was well-apportioned and had everything we needed. The only thing missing, but certainly not a deal breaker, was a hair dryer.

A warm, home like environment. The owners were amazing, Mrs. Susan and Mr. Kevin were the most amazing hosts. Their hospitality were unmatched. Comfortable bedroom, a very peaceful and quiet zone and with a ten minute walk you are in the centre. And the breakfast is delicious. It exceeded our expectations.
