Great location
Initial impressions of the stairwell are not great but the flat itself is spacious, bright and clean. The sofa bed in the living room was not very comfortable to sit on, the other sofa was fine. Beds were comfortable. A few more wine glasses would be good as lots of pint glasses but only 2 wine glasses in the cupboard! Super location, within easy walking distance of most major attractions in Edinburgh. Local shops handy too. Thank you!

A lovely bright & clean apartment
As others have said prior to our stay, don’t be put off by the entrance hall. This is a lovely apartment, about 15 - 20 minute walk to the city centre but we hopped on the sightseeing bus in Regents Rd which seemed to be a little closer. The apartment had everything needed for a great weekend away & the beds were very comfy!

About the host

Host profile image
Although we now live abroad, we met at university in Edinburgh, and so this city remains close to our hearts. We had many fun days and nights in Edinburgh and like to return regularly to continue to explore the city with our family. We have seen many sides of life in Edinburgh over the years and the wealth of activities and attractions the city offers.

Why they chose this property

Our desire to return regularly to edinburgh prompted us to purchase a property here. This apartment was spacious, with traditional features but with the potential for modernisation. It now has a contemporary and airy feel. It is close to all of Edinburgh's main attractions, to enable us to use it as a base for our family, and to share with others who also wish to explore the city.

What makes this property unique

This is a bright, airy and modern apartment with traditional features. The location makes it easily accessible to all of Edinburgh's attractions, with or without a car.
