The apartment was spotless and well decorated. We met a housekeeper who was cleaning some of the other apartments, and she was very nice and helpful to us, because we arrived a half an hour earlier than our check-in time and she called management to allow us to access the apartment. The only two problems was that 1. there was no traction in the shower, so my friend slipped and hurt herself. She ended up leaving Scotland a few days earlier than she was supposed to because she was having a hard time walking. I never reported it to the apartment management though. 2. There was no close parking, and the code that we were given wasn’t working, so we had to park at the Edinburgh Waverly parking garage, which was not convenient. Since my friend was hurt, we had to Uber back to the parking garage to get the rental car when we checked out. I have to say that management was very good about responding quickly to my email about the parking code not working for me. I would stay again because of how clean and modern the decor was, and how nice management and the housekeeper was.

The bed was not that comfortable. We were traveling with children and they did say the pull out bed was comfortable. The area is great for tourist. Very close to every attraction we wanted to see. Close to bus and tram access. The bar next door was quite loud though, to no fault of the property. The property did provide every amenity that we needed including coffee, toiletries, and extra pillows and blankets.

Overall very good, good communication, clean, spacious and well equipped. Fantastic location. 8 minute walk to Royal Mile, 10 minute walk to Festival Theatre. Our apartment was on the side looking over a side street which unfortunately was noisy until late into the night. We did stay fri-monday so being a weekend maybe nosier

The property is conveniently located near the Royal Mile and is in excellent condition. They have luggage storage on ground floor if you arrive early before check-in which was convenient. The communication was inadequate as they missed informing in advance that I need to provide credit card info for security deposit. I had to scramble on the same morning of the check in to connect to the property management through Expedia and get a link to provide that information. I could do that effortlessly being a platinum Expedia member (kudos to Expedia customer service). The property management messaged that my access code will not work until card info is provided for security deposit on the same morning after I arrived in Edinburgh. Luckily I checked the message upon landing at EDI, otherwise I would have faced an unpleasant surprise of access code not working despite making the full payment. Overall property is in excellent condition, but it is located above an extremely noisy bar (OZ Bar), which was a major hassle with extremely loud noise levels of rowdy young crowds yelling and screaming until 3am on. Org nights we were there. We couldn’t sleep properly until 3am on both night. I would not recommend this property solely for that reason.

It's a central location in old town: 5 minutes from Castle and 2 minutes to Royal mile. Victoria street is next over so it gets a 5 star for location. That comes with its own downside, loud noise from bars was audible well into the night even with the windows closed. The apartment is very clean and spacious. Living room and kitchen are downstairs and king bed and sofa bed are upstairs. We were 2 adults and a kid and were comfortable. The only problem was the thermostat which had its own mind. While we were sleeping the heat would automatically come on and we would wake up feeling warm. The settings are locked and we could not change so it was a bit frustrating.

Queen bed not a king (as listed)

This was the most delightful apartment! The view was fantastic. The decor was clean and modern. The unit was spacious and elegant. The amenities in the kitchen were nice with an option of coffee or tea with milk and sugar provided. The only complaint is that it’s advertised as a king bed but was actually only a queen bed. Just be aware of that discrepancy. It was a king headboard with a smaller queen bed.

The check in process was terrible. I messaged via the booking app requesting check in instructions the day before arriving. I did not receive any response until the late evening of my arrival saying that I should have gotten an email…which for whatever reason,I did not get. It would have been more helpful to just message the instructions there and then rather than saying I should have got an email about it. Why would one asking again if I got an email ?? The numbers listed on the booking site and on the door did not correspond to anyone that could help. I was left stranded with my children and suitcases for over an hour in the late evening outside on a busy street trying to get into the unit . It took several long distance international cell phone calls to even reach someone who was able to direct me . There are other “destiny George Iv” apartments all next to each other , all operated by different owners . A simple directive on the instructions would have been to give a landmark , perhaps to say it is the “ big blue door” or something like that. Anyway, once we got in, the place is clean and comfortable . The unit is spacious. Be aware that you cannot get any more than 4 towels and linens unless you pay extra for them. There is a washer,but there is NO dryer, even though the listing says it has a dryer . The location is central and a very close walk to everything. That being said, it is extremely loud at night till about 3-4am. Window are not at all soundproof.
