Wonderful stay
The property is just as described. Very clean and beautiful! The location can’t be beat as it is a short walk to the city with many restaurants, shops, and the stunning Edinburgh Castle. We only stayed two nights, but wish it had been longer as we loved the city and the accommodation. The property manager, Christine, is quick to answer any questions and the hamper of goodies was a delight!

Great Location
The location is a 15 minute walk from Waverly bridge drop off for airport bus and 25 minutes to the castle. Neighborhood was safe with almost zero nighttime noise. Multiple levels so if you have someone with mobility issues you probably should move on. Liked having 2 master suites, lots of room to spread out over the 3 levels. Communication with host was great and welcome basket a nice touch. Washer and Dryer are two separate units..... so appreciated and much more efficient than the combo units we experienced elsewhere. Loads of restaurants within 5 minutes. Would stay here again!

Grandmas in Edinburgh
Six of us senior ladies flew into Edinburgh airport and took an Uber to our VRBO. We were pleasantly surprised to find it even better than we had hoped. Management and the owners were both very hospitable and everything was just great and as indicated in the book we found shopping for groceries nearby

Amazing Edinburgh Apartment
Spotless apartment in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from Edinburgh city center. Attentive host available at a moment’s notice if needed. Spacious bedrooms with super comfortable beds and large bathrooms. Plenty of room to spread out or gather together in living areas or large kitchen/dining. Fridge stocked with starter items as well as a basket of coffee, teas & goodies. Many restaurants and shopping options nearby.

AMAZING HOLIDAY STAY
What can we say other than our entire family holiday stay was nothing short of amazing. The townhouse was so inviting, very spacious for all, comfort all around. Upon arrival, we found a delightful basket of treats which was a welcomed sight after a long flight. The home was clean and tidy, just as described. We can’t wait to come back again on our next family holiday and we can’t recommend this property enough!!! Excellent!!!

Fantastic Townhouse in central Edinburgh
We were on holiday as a family of seven adults. We loved how central the property was to everything, nothing was more than a 15-20 minute walk. The house itself is beautifully decorated and furnished and we loved the layout with the kitchen on the first floor. It was the hub of the place! Everything we needed was supplied and we appreciated the goodies left for us too! We found the street to be very quiet and right off George Street too. Would definitely come back again.

Large property with plenty of beds. Very clean and modern, with all amenities needed, including washer and dryer. Really appreciated the goodie basket when we arrived. Location is perfect in Newtown, walkable to everywhere in Edinburgh. Quiet street although the seagulls are bonkers at 3-5 AM when they see the sun rise. Convenient to both Cambridge Bar and Oxford Bar. We would totally stay here again and we adore Edinburgh.

Wonderful townhouse, perfect location.
This wonderful townhouse was located in a perfect city center location. It is in walking distance to just about everything your site seeing heart desires, also a ton restaurants and shopping. The townhouse is 3 levels. Bottom level has a living room, bedroom and separate bathroom. The 2nd level has a 2nd living room, a small single sized bedroom, the kitchen and dining area. The 3rd level has 2 large en-suite bedrooms. The street the home sits on is quaint and historical looking with the cobblestones. The home itself is restored beautifully. The only minor suggestion I have is to possible replace the carpet in the carpeted areas such as the 1st level bedroom with something softer. The carpet now has a rough texture and not comfortable on bare feet. Again it is a very minor suggestion. This home is a great place for family, friends, or just about anyone.

This property suited us very well for what we wanted. Good sized bedrooms and plenty living accommodation in a central venue. It was easy walking to the various events we had planned. Beds were comfy, nice fluffy towels and good seating areas. The welcome hamper was very nice. Communication with the manager was also good. There was some street noise to be aware of though.

We were only able to stay two days, but the location is fabulous close to grocery, restaurants, and our favorite pub “The Oxford”, just a few doors down. Very quiet at night and peaceful for a large city. Royal Mile is a simple 30 min walk. Stay was made even better with a wonderful basket of treats and wine. Showers and Bedrooms were fantastic as well!!! Only great things to say and hope to visit again very soon!!!

Beautiful Home - Comfortable, Spotless, Perfect Location!
Beautiful property - every detail taken care of! Spread out over 3 floors - plenty of room for everyone! We had 6 of us and we all had our own space and plenty of areas to congregate together to talk over plans or play a game with a glass or two of wine! Beds - all comfortable! Showers - wonderful! So many little details throughout the home. Located so conveniently to the heart of Edinburgh - easy for exploring with numerous restaurants, pubs and shopping nearby. Communication with our host was easy and all instructions were clear and concise. Our family so appreciated the welcome basket with goodies, wine and coffee!! Thank you so much for your kindness!!! This home is lovely - beware of the stairs if you have mobility guests - but otherwise everything (and I mean everything) was perfect!!! Hope to visit again one day!

Perfect stay in the perfect part of town!!
Our family of 5 adults and a teenager all agreed this place was spectacular! The location was perfect, right around the corner from what became our favorite coffee shop, it had easy access to all the things we wanted to see. The home was very comfortable and spacious, there was a room for everyone. The hosts had a welcome basket and stocked the fridge with water, milk and orange juice! Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, the showers were hot and relaxing. We also loved the washer and dryer! We would absolutely come back if we're ever in town again!
