    Another person mentioned this property is not worth the price. I completely agree. The listing is misleading and does not reflect its current condition. Several amenities advertised, including Wi-Fi, were not available during my entire stay. The space also showed significant wear and tear and clearly hasn’t been properly maintained. It is not worth the price being charged. Check-in was confusing, and key collection and return was inconvenient and unnecessarily far from the property. There were also persistent unpleasant smells coming from the bathrooms, which are directly connected to the bedrooms. There are big, beautiful windows in one room, yes, but don’t be tempted. I regretted my decision to stay here. I would not recommend booking this property, as there are far better places to stay for the price, trust me on that.

    The host was great to work with before during and after our stay. The flat is gorgeous and even better than the photos can show. The location is perfect- right on the Royal Mile - easy to get to everything!

    The apartment is in an excellent location and was very clean. The property manager was easy to contact by phone and messaging and gave prompt responses. The house manual was very detailed. Some minor issues - the radiator in one of the en suites didn't work so the bathroom was freezing and there was a drains smell at times in both en suites, both these issues were reported so hopefully will be fixed for future lettings. An initial problem handing back the 2nd set of keys but was resolved quickly.

    Let me say that the apartment was very nice, and clean. But the entry, hallway, and stairs leading to the apartment were very dirty. Th carpet looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in months, and plaster was crumbling off the walls. The property manual was outdated, with instructions for tv and washer that were not even the same brands. So we couldn’t use the tv. I emailed the property manager several times about these things, but got no resolution at all! The apartment is above a restaurant, and the smells were overbearing. I have used VRBO numerous times and have never given a poor review, until now. I would never stay there again.

    Perfect location for exploring the heart of Edinburgh! Check-in process was a little clunky, but property is fantastic and very clean. Restaurant below is a bit loud in the evening, but nothing a fan or sound machine can’t drown out. Side note: the restaurant below is delicious!!

    Centrally located in old part of city. A bit of a hassle to get keys to the property - had to pick up keys 6-8 blocks away. Not convenient with luggage. But the location makes up for it!

    The property description needs to be added to…the flat was in an apartment bldg, but their wasnt any mention of which flat it was…also the top lock was sticky and we had a horrible time getting in the first time and then we didn’t use the lock again our whole stay…the internet name and password provided in the flat was incorrect and required another call to the property management

    This was the most incredible property. It was around the corner from the Royal Mile; perfect location. The flat itself was incredible. Spotless. Modern. Fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, dishes, knives, etc.) and state of the art appliances (including a microwave). There were hair dryers in each bathroom. Linens and beds comfy. Management super responsibe!! The only slight hassle is having to pick up the key at another location, which is not that close, especially if you have a lot of luggage. It meant two stops with the taxi. But, this was the best property I have ever stayed at.
