    The location of this apartment is excellent, within walking distance of many of the sites. Even though the apartment is on a main tourist street, the noise was minimal and we had no trouble sleeping. The bed was very comfortable, and the apartment was very clean and nice! We loved the decor and cozy feeling of the apartment. We would definitely recommend a stay here for a visit to Edinburgh! Both Amanda and Gary were great hosts, and Amanda met us when we first arrived to give us the keys and a rundown of the apartment, and was very accommodating with our early arrival time.

    Nothing, everything was absolutely perfect.

    We loved everything. The host met us on location, and the flat was even more beautiful than we expected. I cannot think of a better location in all of Edinburgh than this place. The decor and attention to detail to make you feel like you were in Scotland was lovely, the amenities were everything we could ask for. I feel like we hit the lottery picking this place.

    Recommend having lotion for guests. The shower curtain stops in the middle of the tub. It would be much better and a bigger area to shower if the current went all the way around the tub and not through the middle of the tub.

    The location was nice

    The apartment is wonderful, decorated with attention to every detail, in the Scottish style, so you can feel the atmosphere of Scotland. The apartment exceeded our expectations! It is incredibly located, close to everything. Just around the corner is Victoria Street and below there are Scottish bars with music, but the apartment is quiet. The owner is nice and helpful. I recommend to everyone!

    We didn't mind it but be prepared for the busyness of the area. You will be above some magnificent eateries with crowds of people.

    The accommodation was spacious and well equipped. Loved that we could prepare meals and wash our clothes. The decor was spectacular.The location was magnificent.

    Ideally placed, on the Grassmarket, just a few steps from Victoria Street and the Royal Mile. Two very nice views from the windows. The mattress is just awesome, it was hard to wake up. Recommended for a nice discovery of Edinburg.

It was also pretty amazing to get to look out the window and see Edinburgh Castle! We can’t wait to come back to Edinburgh, and we will definitely be staying here when we do :)

    A headboard on the bed, and a couple more pillows, would've made reading in bed much easier. The furniture in the front room could be a little more comfortable.

    The location was unbeatable. The apartment was very nice. Shower wasexcellent.

    Everything was delightful. If I had any complaint it was that some of the upstairs neighbors were a bit loud at times but it did not impact our sleep.

    The location of this flat is exceptional with easy access to all the things we wanted to see. The Grassmarket is a charming locations with lots of food options nearby. The flat has everything one could want including a washing machine and easy access to a grocery store. The beds were very comfortable. Cannot speak to how comfortable the sofa would've been as my daughter (as she is known to do) elected to sleep on the sofa without us making it up into a bed. She had no trouble sleeping in the front room despite being a notoriously light sleeper.
