    It's more of a caution, really....we kept hitting our legs of the glass top coffee table.

    It was the ideal location for exploring. Lovely and cozy. Clean and well equipped.

    Great little studio apartment right in the centre of Edinburgh, a stone's throw away from the castle. Great location, also near to lots of fabulous cafes and restaurants. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and had everything you need for a few days stay. Communication with the owner was excellent. Definitely recommend.

    Nothing much. A bit of deep cleaning in kitchen cupboards needed as had to wash few bits before I cooked but in scheme of things this was minor and studio stay was fab. Would stay again.

    Location and view was amazing. Was so close to everything. Owner was amazing at contact and made arrangements easy. Comfortable bed, hot shower and quiet studio. Welcome gift was appreciated. Would recommend to others.

    Position was ideal for being in the city but quiet at nights. Bed was very comfy. Studio very cosy and warm as there were storms outside. Loved view of the castle from the window

    This apartment is in a great location in the Grassmarket area, pubs and restaurants are 1 minute away as is a convenience store for groceries. We loved the location and also having a kitchen to make our own breakfast and a lounge to sit on. It is very close to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh castle. The apartment size is perfect for 2 people. We arrived mid morning and were able to leave our luggage in the apartment while the cleaner finished which was great.

    No escaping the fact that the stairs leading to and inside the property are quite challenging - if you’re travelling with international-level luggage! … but all of the benefits of the property definitely outweigh the short struggle in getting there.

    The location was perfect and the main reasons for our choice of this property. Everything was close to hand - very convenient. Then add to this the great helpfulness of our host and the comfort of the property, all making this a great choice!

    Liked everything

    Nice Studio apartment in a great location and an excellent and responsive host. This location is in the middle of so many things and yet it's quiet, comfortable and cozy. David is a very responsive host and really guided us in the best way to get there from the airport. The stairs folks mention are no big deal and actually lead right up to the castle and main streets on Edinburgh. Bottom line...Edinburgh is hilly and plan to walk hills and stairs if you visit! The location is in a residential apartment building with a cool view of the castle. It's in walking distance of a grocery store and has a great and well equipped little kitchen. Also loved the "welcome gifts"!

    It was a bit stuffy with the warm weather and not having fans but a small price to pay for the location.

    The room was big and had everything we needed as a base for a few days in Edinburgh. The host was extremely friendly and helpful and only a message away for anything we needed.

    Nothing about the property was an issue. However, the city has a lot of steps and this location may be tricky for some who may have problems with steps and stairs as there is a bit of a climb up to reach it

    I was there for a few days to photograph parts of the city. For this the place was perfectly located with easy access to key spots. The studio was very clean, well arranged with all the necessities, including ( very generously) a number of welcoming treats to be enjoyed. The host, David, provided very clear directions and was quite helpful. So close you can even see the the castle from the window. I would love to return here and would highly recommend to others.
