Wonderful Studio Room
We had a fantastic stay in this studio flat during the Edinburgh Fringe. Every event was convenient to the flat, taking at most a 15-20 minutes walk. The kitchen was small and compact with a fantastic speedy hob which enabled us to to cook meals between shows. This was so useful, time and money saving. The flat was clean, had free WiFi and a view. The care-taking arrangements were excellent too! We had a very comfortable week there.

15 Minutes to Everywhere
A really good flat and bolt hole while attending the Fringe. Perhaps we are used to traffic/passing noise but I found it almost tranquil... I took a laptop so the lack of any TV signal was not a problem as the free wifi came to the rescue. If there was any niggle it was that the kitchen area and facilities are limited but if you eat out or manage with kettle and microwave the it is adequate. Overall a great little flat with access second to none to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh in general.

Wonderful location!
We had a fabulous stay in this perfectly located apartment, with a beautiful view across to the shore and the sunset. Well-equipped for the few days we had, with the nicest bathroom/shower of any apartment we've stayed in. I can't recommend this enough for a short break, it was perfect!

Very good central flat
Property location was great. A lovely old house. The apartment was in good condition and clean. We recommend you to use ear plugs at weekend nights - that because of the noise of the pub caused.

Perfect flat in city center
First of all, i would like to say thank you to Gill, Janet, Lenore and John for great services and comunication. Warm welcome from John was nice. The flat itself is very well situated with great view to the city. The lift is going to 4th floor from 2nd floor, entrance is clean. Flat is very cozy, you will find there everything you may need, kitchen is equiped will all necesary things, also the bathroom and bedroom. You have to bring your own reduction to plug (EU connectors) to run all your devices. Our stay here was exciting with no problems during whole stay. We can only recommend this flat to you, will for sure return here in few years. Thank you !

great location
Decided on a short break to Scotland, we hadn't been before so had no idea of the best location. The apartment couldn't have been any better for what we wanted, great location. Fourth floor but we discovered a back which took you stight out onto the royal mile. The apartment was cosy, clean and comfortable. Will return and if we can stay at "a room with a view"

wonderful location, smart style
A very smart minimalist flat, with a terrific sense of being in the middle of Edinburgh. We were there during the Fringe festival, and the 'buzz' around us was palpable - queues for big shows at the venue Assembly on the Mound tailed back to right under our window. The 'double glazing' is in fact lightweight secondary glazing. Light sleepers will wish it were triple glazing, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when the Wash Bar below is busy until 3am. Earplugs did the trick for us. Not really a problem if you pick a central location - and the bed is comfortable. To get help and advice on details and in the case of any difficulties, the agent offers two mobile phone numbers - but these were slow to respond, and some questions were unanswered despite repeated voice and text messages left. It could be that all the usual little niggles are already known to the agent and the owners, and so they assume rightly that the guests will eventually figure it out for themselves. We had no emergencies, luckily. The lift which takes you from 2nd to 4th floor (street level is apparently 1st floor) broke down, with us inside it, on our second day, but was fixed by the day of our departure. Mostly everything worked, after a fashion. Too few elec sockets for the number of appliances (unplug microwave to use toaster etc) Main niggle: plumbing. Possibly the fault of the whole building's system, but we found ourselves at one point emptying the slow-draining sink by hand. Tipping this down the loo was no real solution when the loo itself failed to flush. Once some dishwater left in the sink took 12 hours to drain away. But then mysteriously both these appliances seem to cure themselves! - by the third day the cistern would refill efficiently, and the sink did its thing in under an hour. Hard to know when to complain of such minor annoyances - maybe every guest does, or none do... The flat has free wi-fi, but you have to enter the product key. What is the number? This question was the one which WAS eventually answered by our third day - and all the time it was printed on the underside of the router. [Please add this info to the guests' welcome form.] Maybe other people know to look there, but we didn't, and were confused further by the irrelevant pay-by-time tariff(BT FON) which pops up when connection is established. A nice point is that the recessed ceiling lighting is dimmable - that may be a thing of the past for all of us soon, as ordinary light bulbs are phased out. There are several bulbs kaput, and no way of reaching them; not that this is a job a guest paying £100 a night would expect to have to do. [This should be on the cleaner's checklist, please.] The floor creaks a lot, which can disturb one's partner in the night, and generally the smart minimalism is wafer thin. A shelf and the loo roll holder drooped, and all the hard surfaces are very noisy. But all minimalism is like that, and they've done their best to squeeze what is needed into a small space. I have tried to give an honest and detailed review that will be helpful to the owners and future guests alike. The point about a rented apartment is that it is your own home for the period, and of course everything (and the solution to everything) is a bit unfamiliar. My conclusion is that we had a very happy stay: such a blessing to be able to walk home from any city event rather than dealing with transport. just a few hundred yards from Waverley Station, fantastic. It is so agreeable to get food and wine (from M & S in the station) and cook it 'at home' rather than always being at the mercy of restaurants. I would book this flat again if I needed a place to stay in 'Auld Reekie' - but I think there will be strong competition for it, so book early!

Great location
A lovely flat very close to the city centre. We had an amazing stay and we will be back next year.
