Royal Mile Old Town 2 bedroom 2 bathroom by Castle

A new frying pan would be good. The Teflon coating in the present one is rough and coming away in patches. Avoided using it. Otherwise all good.

The only draw back was the spiral stone stair case to access the apartnent 70 steps in total Very difficult with a siutcase

We stayed here for 4 nights in early August. Fabulous location right near the castle and a very easy shortcut via Milne Close to the Prince Street area with galleries, etc. Loved the apartment layout and decor and views. We could relax in the apt and watch all the fun on the street. The space was great for our family of 4 with two sons age 11 and 14. I highly recommend this apartment. Great breathing space for a family. I love the kitchen and bedrooms. Scott Brothers is the nearest small grocery store less than 10 minutes down the Royal Mile. My favorite bigger grocery store was Sainsbury's Local. It has everything and the walk is about 15 min around the park...so the walk is nice. There is a wine/liquor shop just across the street. I would not recommend this apartment if you have trouble with stairs. It is on the 4th floor and there is no lift. This did not bother us, but may be an issue for others. My only wish list item for this apartment is a clothes dryer, but we were grateful to have the clothes washer and drying rack. Thanks for a great stay on Edinburgh!

Apartment was well stocked. Appreciated the cloths washer.

Clean, nicely appointed apartment. Great location in the heart of it all!

The place is great… so many stairs! Haha. Great location!Noisy guests on the floor above us at late hours of the evening.

This was the perfect place for us (20, 22, 59). The location was extremely central - we could watch the goings-on on the Royal Mile from our dining room table, yet the two bedrooms were located near the back and were always quiet. I slept on the sofa, which was noisier at night, but also convenient for the early riser in your group with access to the kitchen. The wifi worked well, there was plenty of hot water for the two bathrooms, and we used the dishwasher and clothes washer a few times each with no issues (there's no dryer, but I think that's quite common in old town). The only challenge was walking up and down the four flights of the old and totally awesome stone spiral staircase. Our legs definitely got stronger through the week, and it was probably good for us! Many thanks to Paul and his brother Chris for the use of their wonderful apartment. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A superb apartment located at the top of the Royal Mile, and perfect for stepping straight out into the heart of everything Edinburgh has to offer. From the apartment window you can even watch the Edinburgh military tattoo parade at the end of each night performance. One thing to note is the property is accessed by a stone spiral staircase, reminiscent of something you would find in a castle turret, which may be a struggle if you have mobility issues, or difficulty carrying cases etc.

Wonderful accommodations in a perfect location! Our family of four wanted to be in the heart of it all and could not have asked for a better spot. The apartment is spacious with every modern convenience and the owner was very responsive and helpful. The winding, medieval staircase is daunting, but the views of the Royal Mile are worth the workout!

Clean, attractive unit on 4th floor of historical building with front windows facing the Royal Mile. Great access to Old Town and easy/picturesque walk to New Town. We didn't take a single cab/car service while we were there, other than airport transfers. Quiet bedrooms. Updated/modern bathrooms and kitchen. Highly recommend. Note that accessing unit requires navigating 4 flights on spiral staircase.

Great apartment in perfect location though those 4 flights of winding stairs after the marathon are tough!

Very nice apartment. You can walk everywhere in historic Edinburgh from here. Pubs, restaurants and shops close by. Ensign Ewarts pub right out the front alley is a great place to have a drink at the end of a busy day. You do have to walk up four flights of stairs but they are stone circular stairs that remind you of walking up into a castle with every step. So have fun with it. Would definitely stay here again.

We arrived after 8.30pm and the check in was really smooth even with Lawnmarket clised due to construction we didnt have far to go.We absolutely loved the apartment the spiral staircase was a challenge but that really didnt dampen our stay. Paul was awesome to communicate with. We can't wait to come to Edinburgh our stay wasnt long enough.

My husband and I, along with 2 adult children, stayed here for 3 nights. If you don’t mind 70 steps up a circular stone stairwell with no handrail past the first floor, you’ll love this apartment! Right in the heart of the Old Town and all the excitement. We loved it!

We could not have asked for a more perfect location to spend three nights in Edinburgh. The apartment was very comfortable for our family of 5 and well appointed with everything we needed. Being on the Royal Mile and walking distance to everything on our list was amazing! The spiral staircase brought a smile to our face each day and could be a bit tricky after a nice late night dinner and a few drinks. But, we survived and loved every minute of our stay. We would definitely go back!

Excellent location if you don’t mind a 4 story walk up. Not easy with a special needs child and lots of luggage. But place was good and neighborhood can’t be beat!! The host was good and location. Positive is the stairs help with any extra calories you may consume on Vacation!

This apartment it self was absolutely perfect for us to be able to walk everywhere we hoped to go in 3 days. The only problem was navigating the stairs with suitcases. Paul was very accommodating and his Vrbo was immaculate, extremely comfortable and the view was amazing.

Property clean, great location. Stayed with our adult daughter.Beds comfortable, better coffee pot would be great and limited towels, we had 2 apiece for a 3 night stay.Also stairs are a challenge, 4 flights, after long days we dreaded the stairs. But location is worth the minor inconviences. Its right in the heart of the Royal Mile

This property was perfect for our family of 4 in town for a wedding at Hopetoun House. I was initially concerned about potential noise from the street but it gets very quiet at night and it was quite peaceful. The apartment is lovely and updated. Thanks Paul for the early check in.

This property is lovely, quiet, and so close to everything…the hop on hop off is right there and lots of restaurants nearby. We stayed 3 nights and since we are a group of 5 utilized the sofa bed which was okay. The only concern we had was the stairway going up to the flat because there is no handrail past the first floor.
