    Only 1 bathroom and the 1 toliet was in the bathroom. Not very convenient for a family of five but we managed. This in no way hindered our stay.

    Place was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Location was amazing looking down on the beach. Close to shops and not far from center of Edinburgh. Perfect location for a family holiday. Highly recommend 😃

    There's nothing we didn't like, it was a brilliant apartment and perfect for our needs. If there were small improvements then a better system for enabling seeing the TV/projector in daylight that didn't mean making the whole room dark to view it on the wall (or perhaps we just didn't work that out). A handrail in the shower and one on the the wall by the loo would help future occupants with a similar disability to ours.

    Fabulous location, brilliant views directly onto the promenade and beach, lovely airy, spacious and comfortable apartment, easily accessible with a wheelchair via the lift, easy to collect keys on arrival, wonderfully helpful and responsive host answering questions beforehand and clear instructions in the apartment too.

    The location - wow! Easy access to the beach and between all the major coastline attractions (arcades, playgrounds, takeaways, cafes) The stunning view is from the living room and both bedrooms. The kitchen is also very well equipped and even some beach toys provided for the children.

    Edunburgh's unexpected beach-side secret

    Not an apartment-related observation, that the beach/prom lacks the continental-style water-stations to de-sand your wellies & dogs; we use a car-portable Karcher, invaluable bit of kit. The otherwise excellent Sky/audio/projection system might baffle anyone unfamiliar with it at first sight, but persist!

    When the description says Beachfront Seaview, and it really is that, why on earth do would one want to stay elsewhere in Portobello or even Edinburgh City? Easy cheap bus rides or car drive into Edinburgh, from your own parking space. Spacious, modern, well-equipped, quiet large flat, over the excellent Beachview restaurant and next to ''Espy's" (The Esplanade) restaurant amongst others. Perfect location for prom and beach walks with our two beach-loving poodles. Just don't tell everyone...

    Some minor repairs should be done, but nothing, what affect the stay negatively.

    Nice Appartement on the nice Beach of Portobelle. Spacious Living Room and two Sleeping Rooms. A nice Bathroom with shower and bathtub. The kitchen was well equipped. Many shopping possibilities nearby, such as Co-Op, Sainsbury´s and some Cafes and Bakeries. Public Traffic 5min away. One private parking spot directly on the Appartement. Was really nice there.

    Minor detail - mattresses were a little thin

    Great communication/ info & ease of picking up the keys to access the apartment & parking. Apartment was clean, well equipped & spacious for our family of 5 (3A, 2C >13yo). Well located for restaurants, supermarkets & transport. View of beach was fantastic! We loved our stay & would definitely return. Thx Kevin

    Well, there are a few things that worked out somehow, but maybe weren‘t as perfect. As a first it is - from my point of view - quite important to mention (again), that there is a café u underneath, which opens quite early in the day. Whether it may be barking dogs or chatting people (guests and staff) that just come in loud - or simply look at your belly while rolling up those Rollos - it is a vivid place to stay at. People also tend to take the chance of the parking area, dark, behind the house, to make their businesses (whatsoever). Re the Apartment itself: we weren‘t too keen about the projector (too big and unclear) and obviously the Sonos Sound system, which regularly is not too keen on Apple-devices (we weren‘t able to connect, very propably our fault). The bathroom could offer some more opportunities to hang towels or clothes and the shower‘s light need a tiny refresh, but that is tiny bits. All in all it is a well-equipped and maintained apartment and we loved our stay.

    Obviously the Location is just hilarious - right at the beach and you can hear the waves coming in and going out, if you let the windows stay open. The Apartment is quite well equipped, you are able to choose your preferred temperature, the kitchen is well usable and also the bathroom lacks of almost nothing. The host obviously made his (2nd) home a home. Everything about Registration, entering the house etc. was perfect. The apartment was clean and well-maintained, WiFi did perfectly well.

    I liked everything about the property, didn’t not have anything that I did not like.

    I liked the property being on the front of the beach. it was nice waking up listening to the sea rolling sliver the beach and watching the sun rise across the bay.

    Not much we weren't happy with, a part from the parking Space being taken up.

    I loved walking into the lounge and seeing the sea straight ahead. It was clean and spacious with 4 adults. Have already recommended to friends and work colleagues. We found some lovely places to eat Passey's, Tge Forresters Guild and The Beach House downstairs. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. We used the bus into Edinburgh, can purchase day return tickets and use your card. We were lucky with the weather but definitely would stay again.
