Peaceful, bright and great location!

Finding a well situated place to stay with parking is a rarity in Edinburgh and this flat did not disappoint. As a top floor flat, the light comes in from both front and back windows so you are immediately struck by the natural light and the stunning views - very much worth the steps up. The entrance is narrow but not an issue to get through, Cafe Amarelo, Sambuca Italian Restaurant and Kate’s cafe are all brilliant and within 5 mins walking. Summerhall is conveniently located down the road which is our favourite Fringe venue. Sarah was really helpful and the information available at the flat goes beyond expectations. Would love to stay here again!

Edinburgh Marathon

In 2022 I decided to enter Edinburgh marathon, we decided not only would I run the marathon but that we’d spend some time exploring Edinburgh after. We chose Sarah’s apartment based on location with it being only a 15min walk to the start line and 25mins to the Royal Mile. What can I say the apartment had everything we could ever need and more! Sarah was a great host and even remembered nearly a year on that we were arriving late evening and therefore arranged for us to have the keys in advance ready for our stay. We had a wonderful stay and the apartment was perfectly located for exploring Edinburgh by foot, we were able to walk to Arthur’s Seat & Salisbury Crags, Edinburgh Castle & the Royal Mile, along with all amenities you could need on the door step. The only time we used the car during our stay was to drive over to Portobello Beach, which I have to say is a must, it is a beautiful beach with some lovely cafes along the front. I’d certainly recommend Sarah’s apartment if you are looking for a base to explore but also like to be away from all the hustle and bustle after a busy day.
