Quality apartment in a great location

Property was extremely well maintained, in a fantastic location less than 10 minutes from the train station, and the host was very friendly and knowledgable. Groceries, pharmacy, coffee, and a ton of attractions all within a 10-15 minute walk. Spent a week walking everywhere with no need for a vehicle and minimal need of public transit. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit Edinburgh.

Great stay in a lovely residential area!

If you want a quiet place to stay in busy Edinburgh this is a great choice! The owner was very helpful and gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities. Walking to the Old or New Towns takes about 25 minutes and there are lots of buses and taxis. We especially loved the Leith port area including the Compass restaurant.

Home away from home

This was truly a lovely place to stay... it was perfect for 3 adult friends traveling through Edinburgh. We felt safe and secure in this apartment, and it had everything we needed in order to feel comfortable. We loved the park view from the balcony, where we could watch dogs playing with their owners below. Slawomir was a wonderful host, meeting us at the property and telling us all about things we could do in Edinburgh as well as giving us tips for driving while here. Would highly recommend this place to stay!

Superb apartment

The appartment is very good. Everything was perfectly clean and practical (the kitchen, the bathrooms,...), the situation is also really good (20 minutes walk to the city center). The owner was helpful when we needed him and made sure we were comfortable several times during our stay, which is a good thing. I recommend it greatly to anyone who wants to visit Edinburgh, which is a beautiful city.

Excellent choice

Apartment was exceptionally clean and well supplied. There was ample parking and many restaurants were within walking distance (Gautam's was our favorite). We were even able to walk to the Royal Mile and New Town. We enjoyed looking out over the park and watching people and dogs playing. Communication with Slawomir was easy and he always responded quickly. He met us at check-in to make sure we understood how everything in the apartment worked. We would certainly stay here again.

First we need to thank Slawomir! A wonderfull host, super friendly. The apartment was exactly as it is shown on the webpage. Everything we needed was there, super clean and comfortable. Very close to downtown either walking or taking the bus. Very quiet and a nice view from the balcony. We really enjoyed our time in Edinburgh and staying here made it that much better.

The host was very communicative and helpful. Special thanks for allowing us to leave our luggage hours before our entry. The condo is spacious with comfortable beds, nice kitchen and living room area. The highlight is the balcony which overlooks beautiful woods. It is vey quiet! There is an elevator to 4th floor. To get to buses it’s a 10 min walk.It takes a 1/2 hr to walk to the Royal Mile.I highly recommend this BnB.

best host

Slawomir is the best host we ever had. He is warm helpful and always responsive. There was some problem with the flat we booked, he upgraded us to avoid disappointment. On arriving, he gave us hands on information for the tour; after leaving, he posted the books my child left for us. The flat we stayed was well equipped at convenient location. We had great time in Edinburgh.

Great apartment

The apartment is modern, clean and tidy. It is fully equipped. For instance there are multiple products to use (like washing powder, spices and showergel). There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one ensuite), which is very convenient when you are staying with four adults. The apartment has a great view of the park, very relaxing when you are having breakfast in the living room. The building and neighbourhood are very quiet. There are some grocery stores nearby. Also some busstops where you can take different busses to the city centre. If you come by car there is a car park you can use. Slawomir is very friendly, easy to reach out to and he provided us with a lot of information about the city centre and surroudings of Edinburgh.

Great family flat with friendly owner

We enjoyed the stay at the Lochend View Apartment very much. The flat is very clean, with new and modern furniture and offers splendid views to the Lochend Park (from balcony attached to living room) and to Arthurs Seat (from master bedroom). The kitchen is integrated in the living room and is fully equipped – very useful if you are travelling with kids – one can cook and still have an eye on the offspring. The flat is also very quiet; the only noise was generated by our own kids. The only improvement that we would wish for was more boards in the cabinets – the largely are equipped for hangers. The private car park next to the house and the garage were also very useful, as was the presence of a large Sainsbury super market in walking distance (just over the pedestrian bridge). If you are traveling without car you need to be aware of that the bus stop is about 10 minutes walking from the flat (bus line 35, which takes you directly to the centre). The owner, Slawomir, was particularly friendly and helpful. He lives in the same house and can thus be easily contacted if need be. All in all we think the flat earns a 5 star rating!

Comfortable, clean apartment convenient for all we wanted to see in Edinburgh

Slawomir met us on arrival, gave us a tour of the flat, told us about the views of Arthur's Seat and Calton Hill and gave us lots of information about things to do in Edinburgh. That was much appreciated by all 4 of us, as it was our first visit to the city. The flat was clean, beds and seating comfortable. Slawomir asked what he could do to improve - nothing much, though we would have found it useful to have a mirror in each bedroom near an electric socket for when we were drying our hair. We improvised by using the tall hall mirror, so it was not a big problem. We had no hot water on the last day, but Slawomir was on hand to talk us through adjusting the water pressure to get the hot water back - he had already arranged for a boiler service and it was his bad luck that this happened before the service was completed. We appreciated Slawomir being available to help with such difficulties. The apartment is near local shops and cafes and within walking distance of all we wanted to see - Calton Hill, Royal Yacht Britannia, National Museum of Scotland, Christmas Market, Edinburgh Castle.............we had a wonderful long weekend.
