    It was different that the master had a small shower and sink attached, but having two toilets instead of two showers would be nicer for four people. Something interesting we learned was that due to regulations in the city, when replaced, all of the windows need to visually retain their original appearance (as per our tour guide), so double pane windows are pricier than normal. I understand that the temps don’t get too extreme here, but the lack of a sound barrier is not a plus if you’re a lighter sleeper. This is in a city, not the country, but it’s just an observation which could factor in a decision.

    The apartment was spacious and clean with large windows overlooking the street. It was in a good area, about a twenty minute, easy walk to the castle area. Also easy to walk to King Arthur’s Seat… a must do! The apartment had all you could need to spread out and be comfortable. The beds were comfortable and there were a few extra pillows, always a plus! It was also close to a few restaurants and grocery store. Management seemed open to offer help or suggestions, but we had no issues. Not a problem for us, but there are quite a few steps and no elevator, if someone were sensitive to this issue.

    If I had to say something I’d say the beds weren’t the comfiest, but that wasn’t a major drama.

    The property had everything we needed. Great facilities and very spacious. Excellent location.

    We didn't cook, but if so, stainless steel for saute pans and pots would be a real plus. We don't use any non stick products at home.

    The bed and appartment were clean and comfortable, and location great with easy walking and access to multiple buses.

    Our 3 bed apartment was in the basement and was a little more compact than the pictures showed (living room wasn't that big). But it had access to the terrace where we spent a lot of time

    Lovely spacious apartments with every amenity you could need! The apartments were really clean and comfortable too, with extra pillows for bedrooms and plenty of towels. The area has lots of lovely cafes and restaurants within walking distance and is right beside a central bus stop.

    Bit noisy at night as was in main road right over the traffic lights, just make sure you bring some ear plugs and you’ll be alright, though. Really the only issue we had; we were very comfortable otherwise.

    Great location, walked easily to the old town, good restaurants nearby, was very clean, spacious, kitchen very well equipped, plenty of nice towels, Netflix at the ready for the one bit when it rained.

    Perhaps the distance to the sites. Wish it had been a little closer to the Royal Mile but all in all it was very good

    We liked everything about this property. It had a well appointed kitchen, a lovely place to sit after a long day’s touring, good shower and comfortable beds

    Not much other than steps to it was a bit hidden. It was also a target for someone who had to much to drink and got sick by the gate - not to pleasant to walk past.

    Very clean and well presented. Had everything we needed and having coffee and tea was a great start to our visit. Shops to get some groceries are close by and we even enjoyed a take-away delivery! Walking distance to Royal Mile, but bus stop outside if walking is not possible.
