An excellent base for a couple to explore Edinburgh. Great if you're happy walking everywhere (we were) but lots of buses pass near entrance to apartment going into centre of Edinburgh. Very quiet; comfortable bed.

The apartments were well furnished and spacious enough for our group. The location can't be beat -- mere steps to plenty of bus stops, shops, restaurants, and cafes. The Destination Edinburgh crew were incredibly responsive to every message I sent. I would book these again.

Large and beautiful apartment, with spacious kitchen and large living and dining area, perfect for traveling in a group. The very comfortable rooms, located in the rear part of the structure where the silence cradled our dreams, on very comfortable beds.Perfect location, a short distance from the center and with many bus lines under the house. The only concern upon arrival was the fact that the second bathroom did not have a toilet, but it proved to be a very minimal inconvenience.

We had a 2 bedroom first floor apartment for four of us - it was spacious and really well furnished and kitted out. It's about a 15 minute walk to the centre of the Old Town. We would highly recommend this place.
