Location very good. Busy area. So noisy at night. The flat is good for getting around. We had trouble getting in as we did not realise we had to push service button first and then use the keys for the flat upstairs. Plenty of clean linen and towels if you are staying for a longer period.

Great Location in the Grassmarket

Apt in a Great location in the Grassmarket. The apartment is in an old building with stone spiral steps so if you had mobility issues it would not suit you. Looks to have had a new kitchen installed as different from the listed photos, well enough equipped. Large front bedroom. Medium sized second bedroom. Small bathroom but it done the job. Only criticism is that the apt could really do with a fresh lick of paint. All in all we had a good stay here. Thank you

Excellent location, well equipped flat

Everything about the flat was good, the comfortable beds, hot shower, well equipped kitchen, plenty of space and cleanliness made it a pleasure to stay at. This is located in an old building so expect the odd creaky floorboards and occasional sticky door - it adds character. The location was amazing, we walked to the castle in 5-10 minutes. Plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within a minute or two. We found breakfast at the place downstairs very good and would definitely recommend the Mussel and Steak bar next door too. The flat was warm enough without the heating on and there were big windows to open if too warm. We would certainly stay here again although I'd recommend earplugs of you are a light sleeper as there is a late night bar just across the road - we had the windows open all night so could people chatting. Everything from booking to leaving was easy and Gavin was always available on the run up to arrange check in and departure.
