Quiet, Safe, Cozy, perfect location and wonderful welcome

After a crazy couple of flights to get to Edinburgh, Fiona's flat was such a welcome. We were wet and tired but upon entering, it was so clean, quiet, and warm. The card and treats that she left on the table were touching. The flat has everything you would need to cook a nice meal if you wanted to stay in. We cooked at least one meal a day. She had staples such as olive oil, milk, coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper. The grocery store was only a 7 min walk from the flat. Fiona always responded so quickly whenever we had questions leading up to our stay and during our stay. Despite it being a few steps away from the busy Grassmarket, where the flat is situated guarantees privacy and tranquility both in the day and nighttime. We highly recommend Fiona's place and hope to return in the future. Thank you Fiona!

A jewel in the heart of historic Edinburgh

The apartment is super cozy in an excellent location to let yourself immerse in Old Town Edinburgh. The kitchen is well equipped allowing cooking as it was your home away from home. My husband and I have stayed in this apartment three times already. Since we found it, we never searched for another place to stay in Edinburgh. Fiona, the owner, is always caring for her guests. This can be seen and felt in each detail in the apartment. Thank you so much, Fiona, for sharing your place with us once more.

Lovely little apartment

Great little apartment - spotlessly clean and has all you’d need for a city break. We stayed for three nights during the festival. The extractor fan from the restaurant next door was a little noisy when trying to get my daughter to bed but it was switched off soon after 10 so not a problem. Fiona was great and really communicative

About the host

Hosted by Fiona

I am a working mother living in Edinburgh. I grew up in Aberdeen in Scotland and have since lived and travelled in Azerbaijan, Australia and Finland. I've now been back in Scotland and in this fantastic city for many years, and I can really say that Edinburgh feels like our home.
There are so many hidden places to discover in (and around) Edinburgh, it constantly surprises me even after years of living here.

I look forward to sharing this beautiful city with you. :D

Why they chose this property

It's a beautiful mix between modern and traditional. A historic 200 year old building with all the luxury of modern living! I love that the apartment is right in the city centre and that you can experience all the buzz of the city by foot.
