Convenient location, , well equipped and comfortable flat. Warm , plenty of hot water and good shower . Kitchen perhaps more suitable for a weekend rather than a 2 week visit . A shelf in the bathroom would be helpful as would a shaver/toothbrush socket. Rather expensive but would recommend .

Beautiful property

We had a really nice day. Very quiet neighbourhood, yet close to city with bus at door. No restaurants in immediate walking vicinity (~0.8-1.0km), but that was a small price for peace and quiet.

Period splendour in good location

We used this excellent first floor accommodation when visiting family and friends. It’s very spacious with some great period features and very well equipped. It’s in a quiet location, has free roadside parking and on bus routes that can get you into the city in 10 - 15 mins. A local convenience store is a 2 minute walk away. Although a Smart tv upgrade would be beneficial, we would highly recommend this accommodation and would definitely use it again when we return.

Edinburgh elegance

This is a stunning apartment in a peaceful and lovely part of Edinburgh. Our only quibble was the quality of the furnishings and appliances, if they had been better this would have been an absolute five star.

Perfect Place!

Everything about the apartment was great. It is a very welcoming, comfortable, cosy , safe place to stay. The location is fantastic, with the bus stop just across the road and a great shop two minutes walk away. The views from the living room windows were gorgeous. We would heartily recommend it and will certainly book again when we come back to Edinburgh.

South Oswald Road Flat

Excellent property apart from serious trip hazard between kitchen and sitting room. My wife had a serious fall recently and was really worried about this. Some pegs needed in hall to hang up outdoor clothing, and TV was small and poor quality. But we did enjoy our stay.

Lovely flat in great location

This bright, airy flat is a comfortable and convenient place from which to explore Edinburgh. It’s well-equipped and located. Bus stop is practically outside the front door, and there’s a gorgeous view of Arthur’s Seat.it seems that everything has been thought of. The owners are nearby and very friendly. All in all - an excellent week!

Lovely property in an excellent location with large rooms and comfortable furnishings. Linen and towels of a high standard. However, there were some issues that should be resolved; dirty place mats, dirty oven and oven dishes, faulty dishwasher. Nonetheless, we would be happy to stay there again.

Excellent. Convenient, safe, clean, comfortable and quiet.

Everything we wanted for a City break. We didn't need the car at all. Free parking outside the door for the week. The no.41 bus (Lothian Buses are excellent) took us to central Edinburgh and from there we could go anywhere. £4 a day for unlimited journeys - great value. The apartment has high ceilings and is very airy and light. All the neccessary utensils were available in the kitchen. We had no complaints at all.

Very good

Could not give this five star's for a couple of picky reasons. Lovely flat in nice area ,free parking outside, milk and a bottle of whiskey greeted us on arrival. Bad bits, double bed is very very firm,cleaner could be a little more attentive. The flat upstairs could be heard moving about. This said we would use it again

Lovely, relaxing

Wide, clean and warm flat located in quiet south Edinburgh. Drawing room, bedroom, kitchen are all well-equipped with good furniture. Also, location is very convenient - 10 min walk to Blackford Hill, and next to the bus stop for city center. I will definitely re-visit this flat next time.

A beautiful, classically Edinburgh, apartment; well placed for the Univeristy Kings buildings (10 minute walk), and the city (even with a bus stop right outside the apartment). It has everything you need, very comfortable and great views of Arthur's seat.

Absolutely fantastic stay in Edinburgh! The property was spotless, well-equipped, and perfectly located—close to everything but still peaceful and quiet. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in a breeze. It truly felt like a home away from home. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone visiting the city!

Lovely quiet flat well situated for getting places

Thank you for a lovely stay at 1 South Oswald Rd! We were a group of three and the apartment was perfect for us. First the check in process was very easy and communication throughout was excellent. The apartment was spacious with a lot of room to stretch out. Amenities were modem and met all our needs. We chose 1 South Oswald to avoid the crazy of the city center which we loved. In spite of this, the buses were a very short walk and we took full advantage. Going south out to Rosslyn Chapel on a single bus and taking a single bus north to the city center and all Edi has to offer. We loved 1 South Oswald and will def stay here again on our next visit.

Großartige Wohnung und Lage. Kleine Verbesserungen nötig!

Eine wunderschöne und geräumige Wohnung in der ersten Etage eines herrlichen Hauses. Lage ist perfekt, ruhig, man kann parken und dennoch ist direkt eine Bushaltestelle vor der Haustür! Freundliche Vermieter - alles bestens. Aber: Für über 200€ ist die Küche selbst zwar wunderschön - die Ausstattung aber offensichtlich nur für Wochenendurlauber und mit Mängeln. Ein kaputter Schneebesen, billigestes Besteck (ich frage mich immer, warum die Leute nicht einfach ein Set von Ikea kaufen), ein Wasserhahn, der in manchen Positionen undicht ist und die Spüle überschwemmt, dazu Fenster, die sich zum Teil nicht öffnen lassen (im Bad!). Aber wie gesagt: Trotzdem ein Traum die Wohnung und absolut erlebenswert.

About the host

Hosted by Rona Ounsley

Caroline and Richard both live and work in Edinburgh. We bought this flat in 2013 and have renovated and decorated the property to a very high standard. We love independent travel and holiday extensively - so like to think we know what is important for holiday accommodation. As we both work full time, we asked Rona to manage the holiday rental for us, through Lovely Lettings.
We are both very sociable and thoroughly enjoy meeting our guests, giving information and sharing some of our favourite recommendations, to help ensure you get the best out of your stay in Scotland.

Why they chose this property

Located in a quiet residential area, guests benefit from being able to park outside the property and there is an excellent bus service to the city centre - or a pleasant stroll if required. Great accommodation for families there is also a private garden area with furniture where guests can relax.

What makes this property unique

Parking in Edinburgh is not easy and this is a major benefit for this property.
