    Comfy apartment in a great location
    We were in Edinburgh for 6 days, for a conference and some sightseeing. Although there were 2 of us, the flat would be fine for 4. There's plenty of cutlery and crockery, a full oven and fridge freezer, so catering is easy. The area is very quiet, but just 15 minutes into the centre of the city on the tram, which is an easy walk away, as is a mini Sainsbury's. Stuart the host has been incredibly responsive to any enquiries or comments. Would have liked some oven gloves, but we managed with a teatowel. Good value for a homely base in a capital city..

    Leith flat
    We had a great stay at Stuart's flat in Leith! The space was good for our family of 4, and we especially appreciated the good sized living room and having 2 bathrooms. The kitchen is a bit quirky but worked fine for our needs. Great quiet location close to the tram and buses on Leith Walk but away from the bustle. We had a terrific dinner at Roseleaf, a super, vegetarian friendly place within walking distance. Thank you, Stuart!

    This place was nice and cozy. Many restaurants and pubs within walking distance. The only thing, which may have been a one off, but there was hardly any toilet paper. There wasn’t more than one days worth. There was also no paper towels. We had to run to the store and get our own. Overall, this place fit our needs and we enjoyed our time here.

    Plenty of room, Convenient location
    We rented this apartment as our base of operation for a visit to Edinburgh/Leith. The apartment was clean, room and in close proximity to the tram line that traveled from the airport, through downtown Edinburgh, and to the Port of Leith. I compliment the owner; his communications, area information and willingness to accommodate our needs was exceptional. We had an enjoyable stay in Leith and the apartment contributed to this vacation.

    Very nice VRBO
    Overall, a very nice condo/townhouse, very modern, and clean. Check in process was a bit challenging since the nearby bar did not have keys for us to pickup, however the owner walked me through how to find the "emergency keys" stored in another location. Unfortunately, I had to go to the local convenient store to purchase toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner/body wash the morning after we arrived since the unit was very low on TP and did not have the shower items mentioned at all. However, very nice owner, nice location, walking distance to river and some really nice restaurants, pub, and public transportation. Not far from castle and downtown Edinburgh. Overall, a very nice VRBO. A bit pricey, however nice location and unit.

    Great time in Leith
    Overall, Stuart’s flat was very nice. A bit dated but it was clean and it appeared as advertised. Stuart was very responsive to our questions and needs. When I say it could use some updating I mean the master suite mattress needs to be replaced, along with its sheets. Towels also could use some updating. But we felt safe in the unit. We loved staying in Leith. It was so fun to get to talk with locals at the pubs. The area doesn’t feel like a tourist area. So if you are going to Edinburgh, and don’t want to stay in the central city, Leith is the spot. We were about three blocks from the tram line. Easy on, easy off to downtown or even to the airport. Hop on and you’re there. We’d stay at Stuart’s place again. It just needs an update.
