The Flat was comfortable and met our needs during our stay in Edinburgh. Parking is not abundant for the flat, as most street parking is by permit only during the day.

Clean cozy apartment in a great location. Only change I recommend is adding a few items for guests such as tissues, paper towels, extra bath towels, information about the neighborhood and map

We stayed in this apartment for about a week and it was perfectly situated. The street was quiet and it was within easy walking distance of Edinburgh Castle. The experience was excellent overall!

The flat is lovely and very clean. The position is very central, with many nice cafes (Little Fitzroy, Polentoni) and food shops nearby, and many buses going to the centre or to Portobello stop in this area. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need to cook meals. We really recommend this flat!

The flat was well situated. A spacious one bed flat that was very comfortable. Pity the bathroom was not a little larger or a different configuration. We would stay here again

Good location. Flat was exactly as described. Easy walk to the bus stop where you could catch the 35 which takes you pretty much anywhere yo need to go.

We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment. My partner was able to work remotely and had no trouble with internet or noise. The place was full of light and confortable for him to work. For me, it was really nice to come back "home" after a day of walking around in the city. Everything is at a walkable distance, yet we did not feel as we were living in a touristic area, which was nice. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would absolutely come back if we are ever in Edimbourg again.

Apartment is as advertised. Clean & newly remodeled. We brought an in-tub plastic mat ( cut down to ~18” square which was very helpful in this very clean but smooth slanted modest sized tub with shower head & curtain.). Use google maps for best walking & bus routes. ( Remember that walking time can take a bit longer than estimated in g maps )

We stayed here four nights on our first visit to Edinburgh. This apartment was great!! Very nice and quiet neighborhood that was only 1-2 blocks away from bus stops that would take you literally anywhere in Edinburgh. Less than 15 minutes walk/bus ride to major tourist venues. Coffee shops, hardware/grocery stores easy walking distance. Very nice comfortable apartment. Price was reasonable compared to listings closer to major tourist venues that were much more expensive. It would have been nice if there were instructions for use of combo washer/dryer.

Terrific little apartment. Remindful of Brooklyn: not much to look at from the outside, but absolutely lovely when you open the door. Well-equipped, warm, excellent amenities. Only negative is parking: virtually impossible nearby. We found a place a block away and didn't dare move the car for entire two days. Nothing Barry can do about this, but it's definitely the ONLY flaw.

The apartment was exactly as pictured. We were really happy with the kitchen and washer/dryer. Windows let in lots of natural light. The bedroom was big - we were wishing the bed was a queen instead of a double. We felt safe in the neighbourhood and walked everywhere. Holyrood Palace was about a 20 minute walk, Waverly Station about 25. I’d definitely recommend this apartment.

We found the unit to be very comfortable. It’s quiet, well appointed and has nice views of the area. It’s a small unit so not well suited for more than 2 adults. Note that if you use both available double beds, there is an added charge. Barry responded quickly to any questions we had and Was very helpful. We needed a few items in order to use the kitchen and Barry was prompt in getting the things we needed. Location was good and we were glad for the 2 nearby bus stops for our long travel days. Overall, we enjoyed the accommodation.

Perfect place for a two couples or a family of 4. The apartment is perfectly located away from the bustle and bustle of old town for a good nights rest. It’s is literally 4 bus stops from Waverly train station and a (wee) walk, with a convenience store just as you get off the bus. The bed and pull out sofa bed are very comfortable, the couches are also comfy. Kitchen is good size, but the table is tiny, but serves the purpose. It could be a bit more stocked, as there were no condiments nor napkins/paper towels. The bathroom is updated, but small. I caution if you have difficulty getting out of tubs as it is pretty slippery and sort of awkward. The host was Great!! I would definitely book again.

We had a wonderful stay! The flat is recently renovated and is quite chic with all the modern conveniences you may need. The area is very quiet (except for the sea gulls!) It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the Royal Mile from the flat. We would definitely stay here again. My only complaint was that the check in process was a bit harried. The door code is sent right before check-in, and because we had our US phones with spotty international service, the code (which comes as a picture file) wouldn't come thru. Barry was super responsive and we were finally able to gain access via whatsapp when I found a pub with free wifi. It just would have been a lot less stressful if the code was sent a few days before instead of minutes before check-in.

The property was definitely clean and was in a great location. But, there were some major discrepancies between the Vrbo post and the instructions once you were inside. I think it might be dual listed with Vrbo and another letting agency, so there are two different instructions. The first, and most severe difference was with beds. My friend and I were travelling together but searched for Vrbo properties based on whether or not it had 2 beds. This Vrbo said that it had a bed and a pull out couch. The listing says, "a large bright sitting room with a 2 piece suite which converts to an extremely comfortable sofabed." The ad also says, "The sitting room also contains a large double sofa bed, allowing this apartment to sleep up to four guests" and " All bookings are based on sharing" whatever that meant. We arrived at the Vrbo and found that sharing meant that the linens and sheets for the sofa bed were locked in a trunk unless we paid more. For the price that we paid, that was extremely disappointing and struck me as dishonest. The other discrepancies had to do with timings. Vrbo said that we should get the code for the keys that morning. I messaged the host who said that we wouldn't get the code until just before check in (an hour or so). That wasn't ideal because we were travelling and didn't know if we'd have WiFi when we arrived to get the code. Check out time listed on Vrbo was also different from the printed instructions inside.

We enjoyed the neighborhood location, access to food shops, walkable to areas of interest. Nice to have 'our own place' at the end of our trip. Apartment was comfortable and well-equipped, except the bathroom was really tiny. We were extremely careful stepping out of the tub. A shower stall would have been a better choice for that little space.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Close to a bus stop to get you in and out of the heart of the city really quickly! The apartment has lots of space and a very cozy bed. We will definitely re-book if we get the chance to come back to Edinburgh!
