The location was spot on! Very walkable! The unit was clean and had everything you need for your stay. The bedroom doors are somewhat heavy. Would have been nice if door jams were available to keep the doors open. Standing size fan in the living area would have been nice. Move the air around. The tenants above and below were noisy. I would definitely stay there again.

Nice but where is it?
Check in: Puzzling and incorrect code provided. The location was difficult to find. We were expecting a hotel-like building front. The entrance is a single security gate with code. Then down an alley (aka close) to an elevator. We tried the access code given in the email and text. It didn't work. We arrived after the 5p office closing due to traveling. They only have landlines so WhatsApp did not work. Called the emergency after hour # from the Radisson hotel across the street. The person told me the access code was off by 1 digit from what they sent us. Finally got in after an hour of headache. The place: Excellent location right on the Royal Mile. Very nice, clean, spacious and had all the basic amenities needed. It was surprisingly quiet with windows closed. There is no A/C but do have fans. Felt very secure considering location. Access code needed for entry gate, elevator and apartment. Do note, the access code does expire at check-out time. Be sure to be out or you will need to walk down stairs with belongings. Note: no parkiing provided but Radisson across the street does have 24 hour parking for £30. One does not need to stay there.

Great location and there was an elevator. Luggage storage was available but not lockable. Unit included a washer/dryer but no instructions for an American. That would have been very helpful. Kitchen had coffee supplies and was a full kitchen. Bathrooms were spacious and the unit was very clean. We had a wonderful visit and the location was perfect.

We never got to check in because after a day of delays by the time we got to Edinburgh it was 9:00 p.m. The directions got us nowhere. A waiter from a local restaurant helped us find the building. We buzzed the ringer and kept telling the person who answered our name and he asked for our phone number to call us back. We ended going to another hotel because we were exhausted, frustrated and angry!!

The apartment had a place for luggage storage if you got there before check in time. The unit had a full size kitchen and washer dryer. This helped our trip so that we could pack less. It was convenient to walk to restaurants, stores, and attractions. Bring good walking shoes
