Edinburgh Stay

We loved the apartment in Edinburgh - was easy walking to most of the areas we wanted to visit (though it was 'damp' most of the visit - always remember to dress accordingly!). The apartment was great - easy access and exceptionally clean and well organized. Owner was very communicative and willing to help. All made for a great visit and we hope to return in the future! Thanks again for helping make this a great stay.

We had 2 nights which were not long enough! This is a very modern 2nd floor apt/condo in a secure building with all of the amenities. Washer/dryer and drying rack came in handy with all of the rain we experienced. Downside was the key pick up process. For someone not familiar with driving or walking in Edinburgh, it was not ideal to try to find our way to the Ibis Hotel for the key after we had secured the car in the Quatermile Q-Park. The unit is a bit tired looking with smudges on some of the walls and nicks in the drywall but nevertheless clean and tidy. The sofa, however, was stained. Still enjoyed our stay.

Scottish vacation

The condo was beautiful, and in a wonderful location. We were able to walk to the sites of Edinburgh. Short distance to the royal mile and many other attractions.

Really Nice

Spacious ( for city), safe area, very well equipped, food store near by, short walks to tourist attractions. Joanne very responsive. A bit inconvenient to have to get keys and return keys at another location and drying clothes a long process ( due to set up of washer/dryer).
