Although I am not a fan of properties with no on site staff, this one worked out. Not having access to email, I was able to call and get the information needed to check in. The man I spoke with was professional, understanding and helpful. The place itself is terrific-immaculately clean, spacious and very comfortable with an onsite kitchen (only for small meal preparation) with an espresso machine, dishwasher and, most importantly, a washer/dryer which took a little time to figure out. Close to Waverly train station on a quiet block. Highly recommend.

PROS: Great location in Edinburgh. Within walking distance of everything. Lots of shelving & storage. Well equipped kitchen. Check-in & out instructions were clear and communication was excellent. Showers were nice and roomy and plenty of hot water. CONS: We requested a week in advance (like instructions told us to) for the sofa bed to be made up. I was told it would be put in my reservation file. We arrived and it was not made up. Luckily, there were sheets in one of the closets so we were able to make up the sofa bed ourselves. However, the sofa bed mattress was quite stained as was the extra comforter. Kind of gross. Picture of sofa bed looks a lot more comfy than it was. They had air freshener reeds in each of the bathrooms that were overpowering. We wrapped them both in plastic bags and shoved them in a closet. Had to request extra toilet paper a few times which was annoying. The pumps on the hand soap in both bathrooms were broken and did not work so we had to keep it unscrewed and just pour a bit out when washing hands. There was large amount/ pile of dust on top of the wardrobes and on the bottom of nightstands. It wasn't just a little it was a lot! Exhaust fan in one bathroom did not work. Not really a con but the clothes washer is a washer/dryer combination unit. It was okay but not very big and dries VERY SLOWLY. Was difficult to do a week's worth of laundry for 4 people. Took forever and a lot of patience.

This property exceeded all my expectations. It was the perfect size and had every amenity that you could ever need! A full kitchen equipped with a stovetop, dishwasher, microwave/oven, and best of all, a washer/dryer. The bathroom was beautiful. The security/enter/exit system was great. As we had come from Canada, we did not have a phone to call but could email. Emsils wete returned promptly. We asked last minute for a late checkout and they were kind enough to let us stay an extra hour fir a minimsl fee. As far as the location goes, it is about halfway up the Royal mile, just 20 steps down a side street. Shops, restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores, are just a short walking distance away. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to be in the heart of Old Town Edinburgh. It was magical. If I was to return to Scotland, I would book this property again, no hesitation.

First impressions are key and ours was terrible. We walked in the lobby area to find bags of dirty laundry and boxes of produce in the way. We could not even get by with our luggage. This area became more congested with more dirty laundry each day it was disgusting. It is unfortunate as the apartment was quite nice and clean.

Really lovely space & location. Even though the festival was in mid flow, the road is relatively quiet and we were not disturbed. No microwave & mezzanine bed a little warm in summer, but otherwise perfect!

Wonderful location! Beautiful, clean and relaxing!
We selected this place because it looked different/interesting compared to trying to get "just another hotel". It was more like a rented apartment, with all of those amenities (washer/dryer, kitchenette, etc), which was amazing! I don't think the unit we got was what was in the photos, but it makes sense as it's a building of ~10 units that you are assigned from. Getting into the unit couldn't have been easier - it was secure but completely self-serve. It was also amazing that there is secure storage for luggage if you arrive or stay later than check in/out times.

Wow…couldn’t have been nicer. We stayed in apt 8 on the top floor & it looked just like it did in the pictures. Located steps from the Royal mile at about the mid point between Holyrod and Edinburgh castle. About a 10-12 minute walk from Waverly train station. Apartment had all of the amenities you could need including washer/dryer combo. Loved freedom of keyless entry. Be aware that there are many steps at this facility but you will find that steps are everywhere in Old town of Edinburgh. Bedroom is in loft up narrow staircase but there are handrails. We opted to leave suitcases in living area rather trying to bring upstairs. There are many places to eat in the area as well as Mini grocery & Pharmacy near by. Be sure to eat at least once at Maskar Gormet Mash. It’s about an 8 minute walk but so worth it!

We had a long weekend here in December and the apartment was beautiful, full of character, clean & comfy. Close enough to be a minutes walk from the center, but far enough away to not have any noise from the main drag. Would definitely stay again.

A perfect location, steps from the Mile and 5 min walk to the train station (clean, safe area). Loved the ability to wash some clothes, but had to pick up detergent at the store. Also, the sound insulation between floors is lacking.
