I had a fantastic stay at this serviced apartment in Edinburgh. The location couldn't be better—right in the heart of the city, with all the main attractions just a short walk away. The interior was modern and beautifully designed, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Everything was spotless, and the attention to cleanliness was impressive. It's the perfect place to stay in Edinburgh, and I would definitely choose it again!

I reserved a room with this company through Airbnb. I reserved a room 4-6 months in advance and chose the apartment with the street view and the famous pub view. When I arrived the company put us in a completely different apartment. …

Great stay for the price, very spacious rooms and well decorated. Really good location within old town as well. Noise could maybe be seen as a nuisance to some depending on the apartment you are given but me and my girlfriend never found this much of an issue in apartment 3. Overall a great stay.

The apartment is supposed to have an Internet connection. We stayed for 7 nights. It was, at best, but mostly no Internet at all. We phoned on the first night. The response (by email) "it is not our responsibility". …

The apartment is lovely, very light and airy with plenty of room. The bed was comfortable but there was the faint sound of the nearby bar. However we both slept well and the bed was comfortable. …
