Host welcomed us upon arrival. Great little apartment, perfect for my daughter and I. We were there for a month. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well heated - important in January! Well equipped kitchen and new appliances Walking distance to most anything you want to see. Every type of food imaginable available within a couple of blocks. We had a wonderful time, Edinburgh is an amazing city.
Lovely space with in 2 blocks of the Royal Mile. Very convenient to all places we wanted to see. Rooms and beds were nice and comfy. Host was easy to get in touch with. Just loved Edinburgh!
We absolutely loved our time at Alastair's property. Everything was impeccably maintained, with quality appliances throughout and some of the most comfortable beds we've experienced. The decor is beautifully done â it has that warm, homely feel that makes you want to curl up and stay forever.
The location couldn't be better, whether you're exploring the city or getting children settled at the nearby universities. But what really made our stay special was Alastair himself. He went above and beyond as a host, sharing wonderful local tips and making sure we had everything we needed.
We genuinely wish we could have extended our stay, but now we completely understand why this place is booked solid! If you get the chance to stay here, don't hesitate.
Thank you for everything, Alastair â you're truly a gem!
The place was perfect for my husband, myself and my daughter (who just finished a semester at the University). Location was perfect. Flat was clean. Thanks for sharing you place.
Great apartment in a great location to see all the sights within Edinburgh.
A great apartment with lots of room to move around. Itâs close to all the sights in the city and many really great restaurants. It had all the necessities we needed four our three nights stay. The hosts were lovely as well.
My daughter was preparing to study at the University of Edinburgh and this was the perfect place to stay for us to explore and prepare. We very much enjoyed our stay.
The apartment was perfect for our stay. We were 4 adults (family members) and had everything we needed. The location is perfect with many destinations within walking distance and the neighborhood itself is great. Wonderful host!
Our host Alistair was amazing! He was super responsive - not just about the property but everything Edinburgh related. The location was fantastic - it was a short 15 minute walk to almost everywhere we wanted to go. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The beds and linens were very cozy, coffee, tea and ice cubes were a lovely touch that was much appreciated. Lots of supermarkets close by that are open late for snacks and groceries. We would have stayed longer if we could have!!
The flat was clean and tidy and was perfect for the 4 of us. Beds were comfortable and really appreciated the washer for a few loads. Good communication with Alistair and he made recommendations for a fantastic Sunday roast. The location was great â only a 10 minute walk to the Royal Mile and yet felt a bit away from all the tourists. Lots of great restaurants really close by. Would happily stay again.
Wonderful stay in Edinburgh for our family of 6! Property was decribed perfectly. Location is great. Easy walk to the Edinburgh train station. Alastair was a great host and met us upon arrival. Would definitely stay here again.
Alastair was a helpful, kind, generous host. His apartment was at the center of Edinburgh which was a plus for my family of five (all adults with different programs and needs). The apartment was cozy, with an organized kitchen, shampoo, and shower gel, and comfy mattresses. He let us check in earlier as we landed early in the morning which was polite. I recommend this apartment!!!!
We had an amazing stay at Alastair and Katie's place. It was spacious and clean with everything we could have needed for our visit in Edinburgh. The beds were warm and cozy and our family of 4 had plenty of space to relax together on the couches after long days of walking the town. We enjoyed the local coffee and food shops as well as a beautiful park/playground for our 6 year old nearby. It was close enough to walk or take the bus to tourist attractions yet removed enough to feel quiet and tucked away from the crowds.
Alastair was very accommodating with our arrival and departure schedule, allowing us to still get checked in and settled even while they were unable to meet us as planned.
Our family time there will always hold a special place in our hearts and much of that is due to the hospitality we experienced in their home.
Thank you!
The flat looks exactly the way the pictures look and it was so homey and cozy. It's within walking distance of pubs, restaurants and shopping and Alastair was incredibly helpful and very prompt in his responses. Would definitely recommend!
Alastair was a wonderful host! Dinner recommendations were perfect for us! Thank you for answering us so quickly with any of our questions while we were in town đ. Great apartment close to everything. We enjoyed our stay so much and hope for another visit in the future!
Alastair met us at the apartment promptly to show us around and offer advice for seeing Edinburgh. He was easy to talk to and very attentive. The place we very nice and gave our family a perfect place to wake up and chill at in the mornings and evenings. It was a short walk to the Royal Mile and nestled amongst several good coffee shops snd restaurants. We walked from the apartment to the peak of Arthurâs Seat for a spectacular view looking back at the town and on to the beach. Highly recommend this place and this host! Thank you Alastair! :)
Apartment was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. Neighborhood is busy, and so close/walkable to everything. Great views, good food nearby, helpful dining & atteaction suggestions from Alastair, and bonus points for a really well-chosen shelf of books.
My friends and I stayed in this property for 3 nights and we couldn't fault it. Great location (few mins walk to the old town), looks exactly like in the pictures, clean and even things like coffee/sugar/shower gel all available. Although we've never met the owners in person (due to them being away during our stay) they were amazing, nothing was too much trouble and the communication from the minute of us booking the flat was great and reassuring. The only shame was that we couldn't stay longer!
We are a family of four adults. We wanted something that was within easy access to Edinburghâs cultural center. It flat was clean and well appointed. Our family was very comfortable. The building was quiet, so we had a peaceful rest. Communication with the owner, Alastair, was fantastic. I so appreciated his reaching out and making sure our stay was comfortable. The only thing I would point out is, if a person has any knee/hip issues, this flat may not be the one for you. It is three flights up to the top floor.
