Ralph S.

Brilliant, modern, studio apartment in historic building with unbeatable views.
Delightfully located flat with great views of the castle and the old town. Access from Grassmarket, one of the most scenic squares in the heart of the city with numerous options for cafés, restaurants and pubs to chose from. In common with almost all the old properties, there is no lift, but the views are certainly worth it. Thanks

Very central but cleaning could be improved
We had a lovely stay in this apartment which is very central. However the cleaning could be improved and we also found a little mouse the last day of our stay. We communicated the issue straight away but still our last day there was simply a nightmare as we couldn't sleep all night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Nice apartment, clean, brilliant view of castle from small balcony, very close to restaurants, pubs and the Royal Mile. This is a studio apartment, not a one bedroom flat - not obvious from the property description
