Guests appreciate the prime location of the apartment, with its proximity to Edinburgh's attractions and the convenience of on-site parking.

While some maintenance issues are mentioned, the overall experience is seen as positive, with many guests enjoying their stay and some returning for multiple visits.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with specific praise for the cleaning company. However, some guests reported issues such as stained sofa covers, dusty areas, and kitchen cleanliness, slightly affecting the overall impression.
The apartment's location is highly praised for its central position, ease of access to local attractions, and the added bonus of secure parking. Its proximity to public transport and walkability to key areas like Princes Street and Dean Village contribute to its high rating.
Comfort levels are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a comfortable bed and the cosy nature of the apartment. Some guests, however, felt that the pillows were too thin and the sofas needed replacement, which suggests room for improvement.
Facilities are deemed adequate by most, with the inclusion of internet access and private parking. Nonetheless, guests have noted minor maintenance issues and the need for better kitchen equipment, indicating that some updates and repairs are necessary.
While some guests appreciated the welcome pack, there are inconsistent reports about its contents, and some guests found it lacking. As there is no guarantee of gifts and not enough information to assess thoughtfulness consistently, this score is set to null.

Parking tight but OK. Cracked shower bracket. (Mentioned in previous reviews.) This makes showering very difficult. Seals on shower screen coming away. (Mentioned in previous reviews.) Toilet seat (wooden) in bathroom suffering water? damage. Toilet seat in powder room loose. Freezer iced up. Very poor response from Edinburgh Cleaning and Concierge. Overall the apartment is very tired and neglected. Booking manager, property/cleaning personnel and owner need to work together to present the property in the most acceptable manner.

It was very easy to get anywhere we wanted to be; bus stops almost outside the door; a 5 minute walk to the tram & the Water of Leith path. On the downside. The bathroom needs some TLC. The silicone seal for the shower screen has degraded to being no longer watertight and there is a crack in the showerhead holder. This would not stop us returning as we very much hope to do next year.

Public transport worked well for us. Great to have designated parking although the space is tight.
