Everything was fantastic and as described on the site. I’m not sure that the beds are king size (unless the sizing is different in the UK) but all was comfortable and clean. Be mindful of how much luggage you intend to bring up and down the narrow 4 level spiral staircase and that taxis may not be able to get right to the front during the day (but they get close-it was not a problem and we had a LOT of luggage). Thank you for the wonderful experience, Andy.
The overall stay was great. The location was fabulous. A few notes, if you run out of toilet tissue, you will be responsible to get your own. The washer/dryer is a bit confusing to figure out and the host can’t assist. The stairs up to the room is tight and several flights. Overall, I’d definitely stay here again. Loved the location!
Great location. Fully up to our expectations. Cafes, pubs and restaurants all within easy reach. Supermarkets 6/7 minutes walk away. Lively street activity. Flat very clean and simply but comfortably furnished. Bedrooms at rear of building so very quiet at night. Beds very comfortable. Windows all open easily. Flat near top of building so elderly or infirm people may find access via spiral staircase a bit daunting. I would happily book this place again.
We had a fabulous time the apartment was clean, fresh and well equipped and so comfortable. Only 1 minor issue that there was only one wine glass between 4 people which was not ideal and the only alternative was a plastic tumbler, not quite what we were looking for, real shame really.
This is a lovely apartment on and overlooking the Royal Mile, but the bedrooms are at the back so not disturbed by noise. There is a good sized lounge area and a breakfast bar seating area. The location could not be better. It is worth noting, however, that the access is via several spiral stairs.
In the heart of old town. Great location. The apartment was very cozy and super cute. Stairs were no joke though! Be prepared to climb with all your luggage.

What a brilliant location! We loved our short stay here. Warm, comfortable and immersed in the atmosphere of the Royal Mile.
The bedrooms were quiet and peaceful and the beds were very comfortable.
The only downside are the stairs to get up into the apartment. If you are fit, they would not be a problem but the stairs are steep and narrow and it's 3 flights up.
Great location but wish we had known about the steep stairs to the unit. Challenging getting suitcases up those stairs. Would be helpful to have some instructions about the radiators, buzzer, etc. Comfortable beds and seating in living room
Really easy check in and short walk from Waverley train station. Lovely view looking down on the royal mile and great spacious apartment with range of utilities. Heads up there's a few flights of stairs to get to the apartment.
The location could not be beat. The apartment met and exceeded our expectations.

Central location
This was a very central location. Good because you can walk to most everything. Bad because it’s loud. Bagpipes playing outside front window all day long and loud drunks roaming the streets late at night. Luckily you don’t hear much noise from the bedrooms in the back. Must walk up 4 flights up narrow spiral staircase to get to the apartment. No information in apartment on how to change thermostat setting, turn on tv, etc. We got check in instructions for lockbox but there were about 6 boxes on the wall and no idea which one to open. Ended up putting code into all of them and finally got the keys on the last try. Cleaner was there buzzing us right at 10am to check out. Unit was clean and worked fine for our stay.
This apartment was perfect for us. It's very walkable to just about everything we wanted to see and cozy when we wanted to rest on a cold, rainy evening.
Pros: Clean, spacious, very central location, easy to stop in between sights/shopping/eating, good heating, good price.
Cons: Narrow circular staircase without the best handrail, small shower if you're very tall or broad-shouldered, can be noisy (but that's the price of being in a central location).
We would stay in this place again if we came back!
The location is perfect but the spiral stairs are brutal with suitcases. Not mentioned in the listing but we saw reviews that mentioned it. We are in our 60's and 70's and it was very difficult hauling our bags. Because of this, I wouldn't suggest this place for older people.
But the location is perfect and we were able to see a parade for the King out of our window. That was exciting.
We enjoyed our stay here. It was right in the center of everything , very walkable to everything. It was comfortable and clean. The host was very responsive.
It is on the 4th floor and the steps are small and spiral but it wasn’t a big deal to us, it was fine. We loved it.
I highly recommend staying here if your in Edinburgh.
Awesome apartment right in the center of everything.
