    The convenient location is largely why we were able to walk to see everything we wanted in Edinburgh during our stay.

    As we were travelling around the UK by car, parking was not that easy. There are a few metred spaces in front of the building for unloading bags, but you have to find the closest parking building (30€) overnight.

    The location was excellent and our room was comfortable and well furnished. It was relatively easy to find, as everything was contactless with staff you just followed the instructions. Highly recommended.

    Superb location. Very smart apartment and very quiet considering location. Had everything we needed. We were on 5th floor and there was no lift. Not a problem for us, but worth noting. It does state it in the details.

    The apartment building didn’t have an elevator. It had everything needed for cooking, except salt and pepper. It would have been great to have salt and pepper to not have to purchase this for a short trip, since we only cooked a few meals.

    Loved the location less than a walk away from the train station! It was also the perfect place near restaurants, bars, and quick walk to the royal mile. The apartment was also very comfortable and quiet. We loved that we were able to store our luggage before and after check-in. Great communication as well - Would definitely stay again!

    Soundproofing. We could hear the conversation between the pedestrians across the street (just opposite the Edinburgh Dungeon). Literally each and every words that they said. But it's understandable because of the location.

    The location is just strategic! Opposite Waverley station. The studio is just across the bridge and you can see Scott Monument from the bedroom window. Easy to find and getting into the building is just by using the code that was provided 2-3 days before arrival.

    The location was AMAZING! It couldn’t have been more perfect! A minute walk from the train station, and close to shops and restaurants. Totally loved the place and would recommend it to everyone! The apartment has everything you need. The room was really clean. The staff were really helpful when I called to ask about things a few times. What a perfect stay :)

    If you have mobility issues, ask for a lower floor. I was fine though. Also a little hard to find, but generally straightforward too. Just pay attention.

    Excellent view! Really a great place. A little small but good for a solo travel. Would stay here again.

    The left side of the bed, closest to the bathroom, was slightly sunken. It wasn't an issue for me though as I just slept the other side.

    Location was excellent, was clean and modern, great shower and kitchen facilities was superb, everything a person wants.

    Unfortunately we were on the 4th floor without lift. This could be improved as for all the visitors, can be a problem with the luggages.

    The flat was clean and tidy. We loved it! The position is central, next to the main Edinburgh station.

    The location is perfect. Right next to the train station but so quiet you wouldn't realise. I travelled with my 6yr old and having accommodation close to the station / central point was key especially with the use of the luggage locker before check in. I especially appreciated the call centre that picked up calls promptly and dealt with all my queries. A great stay. Thank you so much!

    There were quite a few stairs and no lift. Wasn't too bad, but something to be mindful of should you have health issues.

    Plenty of space for the 2 of us. Great location across from the train station and one street over from the Royal Mile.

    The apartment itself was rather small, however big enough for two people. There wasn’t any cleaning lady/man. More than 3 coffee capsules would have been nice.

    The location was great!!!! The apartment itself was great too :) Everything one needs was offered.
