Pleasant stay
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.

Perfect location, away from the busy main area yet only a short tram ride to and from Princess Street with the extra bonus of having the tram on the doorstep.

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.

A gem of a property in a great location
The property was clean, tidy and comfortable - we were only 2 people, but it was a decent size big enough for a family of 4 or 4 adults. We loved the location in Leith - nice and quiet at night, but with plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance and also close enough to the city centre to be easily accessed by tram or bus. The property owner was really communicative and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again.

We stayed for three nights and were very comfortable at the apartment. There are many local restaurants, pubs, and coffee shops within walking distance, and well-stocked supermarkets for provisions. We loved the convenient tram stop that took us to and from the city center, and to transport us from the airport to Leith on the day of our arrival. All in all it felt like home! I would definitely recommend this lodging for anyone visiting Edinburgh.
