Great Location for trip to Edinburgh
Stayed two nights while we explored Old Town Edinburgh. Excellent location. Taxi can drop off right out front of the apartment. Accommodations we clean and comfortable. There is 5 flights of stairs to climb but it was manageable. Very close to everything. Coffee shop right downstairs. Apartment did not have a hair dryer or bath products (shampoo/body wash) so need to bring your own other than that it was a spectacular space.

Convenient
We enjoyed our stay in this apartment. We are a family of 5 with teens. The location is so convenient to everything people love to see and do in Edinburgh. There are fantastic restaurants and cafes right out the front door. A grocery is just a 5 minute walk. We would stay here again. The apartment does require you to go up 5 flights of stairs. However they are large and easy to navigate. We didn’t mind taking our full size luggage up. Rashid was very helpful and quick to communicate about anything we needed.

Clean, tidy and well equipped apartment with a fantastic location. Owners were very responsive to queries. Only downside for us was the amount of stairs to apartment (no lift) particularly for older guests. That said can highly recommend.

Wonderful apartment in central position overlooking Royal Mile.
Amazing central location close to attractions and restaurants. The apartment was beautiful and was spacious and comfortable. Great views of the Royal Mile - including a great vantage point to watch the street performers! The host, Shahid, was very nice and helpful and could be contacted if required during our stay. Would absolutely book this apartment again! Only downside is that the sheer number of stairs made it hard work with heavy suitcases. Saying that, we were aware of this before we booked, but it did not deter us!

Edinburgh Sight Seeing Trip
This was a perfect location for visiting Edinburgh. Overlooks the Royal mile and is easy walking distance to Edinburgh Castle or the Palace of Holyrood which are at each end. Many of the street performances are right out the window below. Plenty of neat tours to take for Edinburgh of the past. The price is competitive with the hotels, but you get a huge living area, a full kitchen, and two bedrooms with ample roaming around room instead of a cramped hotel

In the heart of Edinburgh
Spacious, clean and comfortable apartment right on the Royal Mile, across the street from Mary King’s Close and blocks from the castle and train station. This is a fantastic place to stay to explore Edinburgh. Host communication was easy. The stairs are a bit of a challenge with luggage but worth it once you’re settled in. I’d definitely stay here again if we come back, which I hope we do!

We stayed at the Parliament Square flat during the Fringe - Fabulous location!! Great communication from Shahid, providing clear check-in instructions well ahead of our stay as well as a phone call just after our arrival to make sure everything was OK. There were also very clear instructions in the flat for how everything worked and what do do with dishes, rubbish etc. on departure - always helps.
