I had the best stay at New Town apartments managed by Destiny Scotland. The studio apartment was very clean and well equipped. Very centrally located with shopping and restaurants close by. It was also very quiet so I was able to get great quality sleep. I enjoyed my stay very much and would recommend it to anyone traveling in Edinburgh.

The apartment was large and quiet and clean. That's the good part. The mattress was not great. We could feel the wood underneath it and the pillows were thin. By the end of five nights we were dreaming of our bed back home. The tv is tiny and far across the room. Overall the space is fine but it feels cheap not cozy and welcoming.

It was pretty unsettling when we arrived to find the door to the apartment in an ally with all of the trash containers and restaurant back doors and even a residing homeless person. Then you go into a beautifully finished apartment building and very nice accommodations. Well, we got to know the homeless guy and actually got a kick out of the location. Definitely different!
