We loved this home. It is well located in Grass Market; close to all amenities and highlights. The hosts include lots of small items which are so important to your comfort; paper towels, sugar, laundry soap, etc. The home is clean and bed is comfy. We will return.

What a great location!

What a great location and lovely apartment! Everything we needed was included and we loved being able to walk to everything including dinner at Howie’s and Bertie’s, up the hill to the Royal Mile and the cemetery on the other side. The apartment was so well appointed that we needed nothing for quick meal prep and clean up even down to the body wash and a little olive oil and laundry pods! Thanks so much for a wonderful time in Edinburgh and we would definitely recommend to others.
This is literally steps from the apartment. So easy! Victoria Street
Living area was much more spacious than anticipated!

We had a great stay in this perfect location at the base of Victoria Street, the most photographed street in Edinburgh (so I hear). We spent 10 days there and it felt very comfortable with easy access to Old Town. Would definitely stay here again.

What a fantastic stay!

Personally we felt like the property was even more roomy than the pictures showed (often the reverse can be true). Everything was very clean and full of amenities. You walk right out onto the Grassmarket area and the start of Bow/Victoria St, so just a great location to explore. Tons of shops, restaurants, pubs right there, and good groceries are very close by as well. The host (Fiona) was very helpful and responsive. We'd highly recommend staying here! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Great location!

We had a wonderful stay in Edinburgh. Fiona was great with communication prior to our arrival. I was a little confused as how to get into the flat, but I was able to call and she helped me get in with no problems. I would recommend this flat to any person or couple looking to stay in the heart of Edinburgh.
