Beautiful 2 bedroom 2 shower room by Castle Royal Mile Old Town

Bathrooms and bedrooms excellent for cleanliness and supplies. Kitchen supplies and cleanliness good, but checks should be made for broken items before next arrival of visitors. Kitchen is equipped but small. Could not find manuals for working amenities like oven and microwave. This could be included in guest book on the table. Stairs to apartments are definitely a challenge with luggage. Would rate my personal experience as. Good. 4/5. Hosts instructions were clear, but not an easy place to locate on first attempt.

We had a great stay with our family of 5. We have three kids 7,9,&12 and this worked well for us. We used the couch bed for one of our kids. It was super useful to have two bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and it was so convenient to have a washer. We are used to having a dryer but quickly adapted to using the drying rack that was provided.The location was hard to beat for its closeness to everything! We stayed during Fringe so it was noisy but nothing we couldn't handle. We did hear the Tattoo March out finale from the castle at 11 most nights (not Sunday) and then listened to the officials asking folks to stay on the pavement for about 40 minutes after but again ...it was ok for us. It was a close walk to most everything we wanted to see and to the fringe venues. Check in was seamless. Perfect instructions for getting in. Be aware that this place is accessed by a stone spiral staircase so if you have mobility issues this might not work. So watch out for the metal railing the handles that are sticking out because they could be on kid head level. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic location and as described. Stairs to apartment were steep circular with NO railing. Very dangerous. Carpets were stained and looked dirty. Bathroom floors had hairs in corners. Could have had a better cleaning job. All and all, we would stay again because of location, but my 80 year old mom would not.

Wonderful location to enjoy the Royal Mile. It’s a very short walk to Edinburgh Castle. Very clean. Great communication. Enjoyed our stay!

This apartment would be a great place for two 20-something people to stay. It's in a great area with lots of night life. They could each have a bed and bath...perfect for two people. We are a family of four with large teenage boys. This tiny apartment was a tight fit for a full week. We let the boys have the bigger room and bath as it had the twin beds. The room with the full bed was much smaller and the bathroom had just enough room for one person at a time.We loved that it was an old building. The winding staircase is cool....but not for older folks. Toilet in the second bath is also really high off the ground (unusually so) so could also be an issue for some people.One thing that would've helped given it's Scotland in summer is light blocking blinds in the front bedroom. After the second night we remembered we had eye masks from the plane and slept in those. Which reminds me, the beds are super comfortable! Good mattresses and duvets. The owner was responsive and kind. He is very easy to work with. Overall, it was a nice experience. We miss Scotland already.

This is simply the best location you'll find for a stay in Edinburgh, you're just steps away from Edinburgh Castle! We felt like we were in a fairytale just sipping tea and looking out our front window. You can wander these streets for hours and always find something to look at. Having a full apartment with two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms was wonderful for our family, and it felt very private and not like we were on top of each other the whole trip. I would stay here again.

The ambience of an older building was so much fun and such a great location to stay in. once there we literally can walk anywhere The beautiful circular stairs are gorgeous but if you have someone that has trouble with stairs, this is something you should know

A charming apartment in a premier location on the Royal Mile. We were able to walk to all sites. Clean, updated rooms, appliances and facilities. The beds were comfortable. The hosts were very communicative and responsive. We had absolutely no issues or concerns.

You cannot beat the location if you’re going to the Military Tattoo and Fringe events. You’re a stone’s throw away from the Tattoo and the Castle. The front bedroom (facing the street) is not ideal for light sleepers as the Jolly Judge (a popular pub downstairs from the apartment) gets keg deliveries starting around 4:30 in the morning. The pubs close at 11 so noise from the patrons isn’t a problem. The keg delivery schedule is a bummer for light sleepers. The back bedroom seems more insulated from that noise.

Came in with my family for the Edinburgh Marathon.The host was very easy to work with and the location is great. We have visited Edinburgh the last three years in a row and know the area well. However I feel there are a few things lacking and some issues with overall cleanliness of the unit, especially in the bathrooms. That said, we would return and rent this flat again.

My family stayed at the property for four days during it vacation in Scotland. The property is as advertised. Two nice sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, nice living room and kitchen. Despite being right on the Royal Mile it is quiet and feels very private. It’s close to everything a tourist would want to do. The host has great communication and the glass was spotless. I would 100% stay again. Do be aware the stairs to the flat are historic. It is a stone circular staircase but you get used to it quickly.

Spectacular location very clean! Spiral staircase was a challenge with luggage but worth it!

This is a beautiful apartment in a perfect location. If you want to be right in the center of the action, this is the spot. There are endless choices to eat and drink right outside the door. OK, the stairs are a challenge especially if you have been down to the Jolly Judge for a couple of pints, but it's worth it. We spent a lot of time with either a cup of coffee or a glass of wine just people watching out the front window. Would definitely return to stay again.
