Family Rugby Weekend

The property is very spacious and spotlessly clean. Loads of room for six people. It was lovely to meet our host Edele who was welcoming and helpful. It is located in a quiet area but short walking distance to a variety of restaurants and tram/bus stops. There is a supermarket a two minute walk away. We would definitely book here again.

Excellent accommodation

Three family members and I stayed at Edele’s apartment to attend my sons wedding and it was perfect. Spacious, very clean, comfortable and cosy. We cooked a meal on our first night in the extremely well equipped kitchen and dining area and slept very well in the comfortable beds after the festivities the following night. Edele met us on arrival and was very helpful explaining everything, her communication was excellent before and during our stay. The free parking is such a bonus in Edinburgh city centre. Thanks very much Edele.

Nice and spacious flat

Perfect flat for the 6 nights we spent in Edinburgh as a family of 5. Enough space that we could not only sleep, but properly live there. Had everything we could have wished for, including a fully equipped kitchen and toys for the kids. Very proactive, responsive, friendly and professional host.

Spacious, clean and well located home

We stayed at this property for my son’s graduation. The apartment was larger than I realised from the photos and walking distance to New Town (we got a taxi to the graduation). The property was clean and comfortable and I wished we’d spent longer in it. Communication with Edele was great when we had any questions.

We had a wonderful time! Edele was fantastic and met us as we arrived. She was really accommodating with equipment for the children. She even allowed a later check out as the property had availability on the day we left which was very kind. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay.
