Great stay in well appointed property
We stayed for a month and felt like it was a home away from home. There was everything we needed and more. The location was great, pub next door really friendly and it was super easy to get public transport at the end of the road, a few minutes walk away. Would highly recommend.

Peaceful, bright and great location!
Finding a well situated place to stay with parking is a rarity in Edinburgh and this flat did not disappoint. As a top floor flat, the light comes in from both front and back windows so you are immediately struck by the natural light and the stunning views - very much worth the steps up. The entrance is narrow but not an issue to get through, Cafe Amarelo, Sambuca Italian Restaurant and Kate’s cafe are all brilliant and within 5 mins walking. Summerhall is conveniently located down the road which is our favourite Fringe venue. Sarah was really helpful and the information available at the flat goes beyond expectations. Would love to stay here again!

Comfortable flat - excellent location - exceptional hosts
Sarah and Roderick's handsome flat in the heart of the Newington neighborhood is as thoughtfully set up as any vrbo property we've had the pleasure of renting. It's smartly and comfortably appointed - everything done with an eye toward anticipating and meeting a wide range of guest wants and needs. Significant amenities include a superbly curated collection of DVDs, CDs and books; nicely packaged guides to neighborhood and beyond restaurants, shops and attractions; well equipped kitchen with a generous package of basic spices, coffee, tea, paper products, rubbish bags, recycle bins and cleaning supplies; splendid views of Arthur's Seat, the Salisbury Crags, the Pentland Hills, Newington and Old Town. It's an easy walk from the flat to a half dozen excellent restaurants we tried; good selection of artisanal bakeries and cafes; several well-sourced butchers and green grocers; well stocked wine and whisky shops; and friendly pubs, for example, the classic Leslie's -- and a 20-25 minute walk to many top Old Town attractions. Sarah and Roderick were a pleasure to deal with from booking to checkout. Highly recommended!

Sweet, well-appointed apartment in a neat corner of Edinburgh
Spent five days with my husband and 8yo daughter at this lovely walk up flat. It has close proximity to Holyrood hiking and running trails, a great playground on the corner of the Meadows and convenient to bus connections to Old Town, Leith, New Town and beyond. Sarah and Roderick are thoughtful hosts and the apartment has everything you need for an easy stay and then some.

Edinburgh Marathon
In 2022 I decided to enter Edinburgh marathon, we decided not only would I run the marathon but that we’d spend some time exploring Edinburgh after. We chose Sarah’s apartment based on location with it being only a 15min walk to the start line and 25mins to the Royal Mile. What can I say the apartment had everything we could ever need and more! Sarah was a great host and even remembered nearly a year on that we were arriving late evening and therefore arranged for us to have the keys in advance ready for our stay. We had a wonderful stay and the apartment was perfectly located for exploring Edinburgh by foot, we were able to walk to Arthur’s Seat & Salisbury Crags, Edinburgh Castle & the Royal Mile, along with all amenities you could need on the door step. The only time we used the car during our stay was to drive over to Portobello Beach, which I have to say is a must, it is a beautiful beach with some lovely cafes along the front. I’d certainly recommend Sarah’s apartment if you are looking for a base to explore but also like to be away from all the hustle and bustle after a busy day.
