Spacious Apartment close to Edinburgh Castle

The apartment is close to a lot of sights and right near all the happening places. Downside is that it is right on top of a bar and that means thumping music till 2am. No elevator is tough for taking luggage up and down. The property owner does not communicate well for key pickup from the key nest and we had to call VRBO to get that sorted out after two hrs on the phone.

Great location and nice two bedroom on the third floor of the building right in the heart of new town Edinburgh.

The apartment was very clean, a lovely space. The king size bed was extremely comfortable. Close to the main areas for shopping and sight seeing. The kitchen could do with a few more utensils, there were no scissors or a corkscrew/bottle opener.

We were unable to access the keys on the first night of our stay and ended up waiting in a Costcutter while the customer service team tried to resolve the issue. Eventually, we were relocated to a different apartment on the opposite side of Edinburgh—only after we suggested booking our own hotel for the night.It was a stressful and disappointing experience to arrive and find we couldn’t get into the apartment we had booked. There appeared to be no clear process for issuing a backup set of keys, and the only compensation offered was 30% off the first night’s stay.If you have the option, I would recommend choosing a property not managed by Joivy. Once the other guests vacated the apartment we were double-booked into, it turned out to be a lovely place to stay. I sincerely hope the owner of the Johnstone Terrace property receives proper payment for the ad-hoc arrangement we had to make.

Great location and clean property.

Great location- only small hitch wasvery small hitch when directions for opening door was misunderstoodie. Pulling open door-as we would in Canada-as apposed to pusing in door. And using red electronic key when only green suppied- it didnt matter but confusing to jet lagged me! Suite was beautifully appointed with comfortable beds and a wonderful view. Stair would be a problem if there were mobility issues -would definitely stay again

great location and apartment

The property was vert nice and near all the places we want to see.

Great location for everything. Bus station, tram, pubs and the castle. You are in the heart and pulse of Edinburgh. Apartment has all the basics you need, plus a nice view north!

The only negative thing was no lift.

Really lovely presented apartment, Lots of stairs and no elevator however worth it for the view. Central location, clean and tidy. Comfy beds Second bedroom is really wee but fine for a weekend. Check in and communications were easy enough. No issues with the apartment, really fun space

The place was great location and the unit itself was good. Close to shopping, food and attractions. Rain shower head did not have much pressure. The thermostat for the towel warmer is in the living room. It took us a day or so to figure this out. And just a FYI for anyone not used to stairs, when they say 3rd floor flat, that’s actually 4th floor in Europe and UK. A little hard with a heavy suitcase but do able.. otherwise very clean and comfortable.

The property is well located and comfortable. Recommended.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and was an excellent location for wandering around Edinburgh. Having to pick up the key at a different location was somewhat inconvenient, but it wasn’t too far. A few added amenities such as a hair dryer, salt, pepper and spices would have been welcomed. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We loved our stay at this flat. It was exactly as advertised. We stayed over a weekend and so could feel and hear the thumping of dance music from the club next door through the floor and windows. However, it was not super loud and we found it amusing more than anything else. No one struggled to fall asleep because of the noise. The on street parking was very convenient for the one night we had a car but it wouldn’t be a good idea to use it for a long stay as the parking is (rightly) expensive. Beds were quite comfortable. I was dubious because they’re very soft but they worked out very well. Excellent central location allowing us to walk everywhere and thoroughly enjoy a beautiful city.

A very cute apartment in a wonderful location but some of the basics were a miss. Beds were very old and uncomfortable, shower had zero pressure, room temperatures hard to control, no window coverings, and a dance club next door....and MANY STEPS to climb!
