Family Birthday and Hogmanay.
Brilliant property and thoughtful contents, games, coffee, tea, washing up liquid,etc. Very good location and convenient for the Old town. On route to the hospital so some sirens during the night.

Perfect week.
A spacious luxurious property. Beautiful bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. A good sized open plan area so everyone was together. Great location, easy to walk to the Royal Mile and Arthurs Seat. It helped that we had perfectcweather with sunshine and blue skies the entire time.

Blown away once inside!
This apartment sleeps up to 12 people. We were a group of 10 and the size is just fabulous! The beds so comfy, the bedding, top quality! The kitchen was kitted out well with enough pans and crockery etc plus cleaning stuff in the kitchen. Some areas a little dusty, but biggest downer was when you first arrive. There was rubbish piled up outside the main front door and the stairs practically blocked with builders materials and equipment. This meant our first impression was spoilt and we were dubious as we entered the building. However, once we were across the threshold of the actual apartment we were blown away.! It would have helped if we had been fore warned, I think.

Perfect place for a group holiday.
The apartment did not disappoint. Beautifully decorated with lovely bedrooms and very comfortable beds and pillows. The lounge area was spacious and comfortable and the attached large kitchen very well fitted out with everything you would need. Bathrooms very nice too. The shop underneath the apartment was very handy. It was just lovely to stay in a traditional Edinburgh apartment building. Some stairs to climb but very well worth it. We found most areas within comfortable walking distance but for those not wanting to walk there are plentiful buses. The property manager Mark went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and made us aware we just needed to contact if we needed any help. Definitely worth a stay.
