    Very very noisy, there were 5 of us and none of us managed a full nights sleep. The windows could be doing with an upgrade or some sort of measures put in place for noise reduction.

    Location is brilliant.

    Noisy at night! Some of my friends were grumpy about having to climbseveral flights of narrow steep stairs.

    Great location right on the Royal mile and walkable from the train station. Very affordable.

    No AC, weird controls on the heat so wasn't really sure if it was on or not. The street noise was very bad one night. Lots of raucous people out partying and yelling very late at night. 3 AM. The stairs were steep and awkward. 5 flights of stairs is a lot after a day running around Edinburg. The shower in the top floor apartment was VERY small. Some part of your body was always touching some surface in the shower. I have had larger showers in an RV.

    The location was amazing. Right off the Royal Mile. Just Google Royal Mile on maps and that pin location is where the apartments are located.

    Excellent location but absolutely noisy at night

    What we really didn't like was noise. We went to bed quite early due to our early flight but it was so noisy we were up almost whole night. The windows don't fit so cannot be closed properly so it's absolutely noisy. Not sure if this is due to pipes on the highest floor (had apt 5) it was almost impossible to get proper shower, stream of water was very weak.

    We got all the instructions well ahead so collecting the keys were really easy. Excellent location, walking distance to everywhere in old town. Apartment clean and very nice. We didn't do any cooking but kitchen seemed well equipped.

    The noise, one night, a group of drunk people, was shouting next the apartment. The other nights were good, didn't face it.

    The location is very good!! The rooms and facilities are very good!! The bathroom was good!! The living room was big, and the kitchen well equipped I went with my family, 5 people, two kids (2 and 8 years old), my wife and my father.

    When trying to contact the receptionist to leave our bags where we were told to we got no response. We had to pay to leave our bags elsewhere which was inconvenient.

    Location was great, however finding the location was difficult. Apartment was overall clean just very noisy.

    TV didn't work, bedrooms did not have blackout blinds, bedrooms were small. Cracked window in one bedroom, a high top of lounge window was poorly boarded which spoilt the look (could have been temporary awaiting a repair and didn't affect the view). Lots of stairs to 3rd floor (apartment 4) and no lift. Bedrooms cold at night and we couldn't figure out heating in bedrooms. Portable heater in lounge. Plates, cups etc were sparse and no small plates not mugs nor tea/coffee pot to make a larger tea or coffee.

    Shower room was good and tiled nicely although the floor covering had bulged a little near shower. Linen all very clean and beds comfortable. Sitting room view was comfortable with a nice view over the square. Nice clean kitchen. Staff from key pick up helped get cases upstairs. All staff we met were helpful and friendly. There were 2nd pillows and duvet in our wardrobe which we used as bedrooms had heaters we could not figure out (but only 3 of us so they could have been meant for an extra bed if 6 stayed) Washing machine. Tea and coffee and long life milk sachets for a drink on arrival. Location is excellent for access to Royal Mile area. A bit noisy late at night when the bar next door closed. The front door access to the apartment is near the end of a narrow lane of a street that has a few late night bars. The windows of the apartment on the other side overlook a lovely small square which has cafes and bars and is opposite an Ibis hotel. Leave the entrance to the apartment walk left past the bar next door and you are at the Royal mile, turn right as you leave and walk down the lane to more entertainment. If you like rock music Banamans at the far end has live music. We enjoy rock music even though over 70 and with our 18 year granddaughter, this apartment was local to a few bars with rock music and we were made very welcome among a friendly staff a customers so had chosen well for location There are other pub venues too nearby and we had a meal in The Advocate in the square that we saw from our window. We also walked to New Town and ate and drank there. The entrance to the apartment looks unkempt as an overflowing bin had bags ripping next to it but work was being done on the frontage of the bar next door with scaffolding so may not always be like this. Bed base in one room was very scuffed and marked but pillows and pillow protectors were new and the rest very clean.

    It has a bit of a noise from the pub on the ground floor and, they say it at the description, but it has a lot of stairs to the flat

    The location is really good - near royal mile - the space was really good!

    In the douche the heating box was a bit unsafe, we could see the wires, so we take a shower very carefully. But maybe these are the same everywhere just in Hungary we're not used to it.

    The flat was very nice and well-equipped, we were afraid that's gonna be cold, but it was very warm. There was 4 of us for one night and we have to sleep on the couches and they were surprisingly comfortable!!

    The location really can’t be beat for visiting Edinburgh. Right in the heart of the Royal Mile. The apartment was clean and well appointed. It’s a multistory walkup, so be prepared for that. And it may seem strange to pickup the keys at a pizza place, but it totally makes sense once you do it. Just make sure you knock on the door and don’t stand outside waiting for something to happen. Like we did.

    Can be very noisy at the weekend as it’s above a nightclub but is only an issue for light sleepers.

    Spacious and very clean and in the heart of the city centre.

    Unfortunately the apartment is very noisy if you are sleeping in the front bedroom as you can hear the busses passing all through the night so not the best sleep. The furniture is a bit worn and could be doing with updating. Shower wasn't the greatest as it was just kind of spitting out the water instead of flowing properly.

    Loved the location, just off the royal mile and close to plenty of bars,restaurants and the train station. The apartment is a good size with plenty of space. Wi-Fi is free and works perfectly. The price we paid was probably about right for what you get at the apartment
