Travel amidst the University of Edinburgh

Easy to access and park. Central to the Royal Mile and environs. Property manager was quick to respond to broken washer/dryer and replaced it in less than 12 hours with a new one. Comfortable beds and good linen..

Holyrood apt

This flat was great- definitely on the historic side but clean! Worked perfectly for my husband, son and I while staying in Edinburgh. We walked to the royal mile and up to the castle from the apartment- beware it’s all uphill but totally worth the walk! There was a tesco right around the corner and lots of cafes for coffee or a pastry in the morning. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location for seeing the sites!

Excellent for walking to Royal Mile! Easy, close access to Arthur’s Seat trails and Holyrood Palace. Tesco grocery store is conveniently right around the corner. We were very comfortable with 3 people… 2 bathrooms and washer/dryer are a plus!

Awesome location, property needs a bit of TLC

Location for the Royal Mile, Holyrood House, Christmas Market and Princess stree was very good. We walked everywhere. The property is in a block of flats on the second floor, nothing hears from the other flats. Some maintenance required but not horrendous. Shower average temperature and fan noisy. Bedding clean and fresh. Warm flat. Would we return.... Yes. Large Tesco express seconds away.

Very nice and clean. Location was very convenient to walk, especially if you can handle hills. The directions to get in may seem a little daunting. But it is quite easy.

Spot on!

As everybody mentions the location really is as good as it gets. The host very kindly allowed us an early check in which was very kind. The apartment was very comfortable and exceeded our expectations. The one downside was the carpet in the en suite bedroom. It wouldn't cost a lot to replace it and it really does need to be replaced! If this was to be done I would stay here again without a doubt.

Great location

This property has 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms, but the fan in the master bath is super loud and the lights flicker annoyingly. The other bathroom has a tub, no shower. The beds were just “fine” not great. However the location was great. Very close to the royal mile and Grass Market. Wouldn’t stay here again but it did the trick.

Ok but apartment needs a facelift. Bathrooms need new fixtures, better mirrors, taps (not separate hot and cold) etc. A paint job would also spruce up the walls etc. How to manuals would be of great benefit. Has great potential with its locaton. Just needs a bit of work. Suitable for 4. A
