Lovely central apartment
Lovely apartment. Very central. Well appointed. But noisy but as the bedrooms were at the back of the property in Flat 4 we couldn’t hear the noise from there. Great view of the castle.
Wonderful location and close to so much including beautiful views of the castle. The apartments were beautifully appointed and fully stocked. Only complaints the entrance way of the building frequently had trash left outside it. The check-in process could be more accommodating particularly regarding the possibility of an early check-in. We hadn't slept all night due to a problem with delays in our flight and when we arrived to drop off our luggage there wasn't even a rest room or water made available. No ability to check in even 5 minutes early although we shared how exhausted we were. Need to improve the customer service.
The washer/ dryer was difficult to use but I'm sure it was just that I did not know how to use, but kept turning washer back on and it took hours. Had to leave with wet clothes

Liked: Cleanliness
The outside entrance had cigarette butts and overall did not look presentable. As you entered the stairs smelled moldy and would be difficult for older people to navigate with luggage. There was no place for our luggage and there was hardly no space on either side of the bed to get in or out. The kitchen was well equipped but the appliances were hard to figure out as they are very different from North American appliances. Some instructions would have been helpful. The view of the castle and area was great but the windows were dirty and could use cleaning. Location was very good , close access to transportation, restaurants etc.We would not recommend this place to our friends.
The flat was quite beautiful and very well kept. The location is 10/10 with everything in walking distance, even the train to the airport. Loved the view of the castle also! Would definitely stay here again & recommend this location to anyone travelling through or wanting to explore Edinburgh
Great place to stay right on Princes Street. Had a wonderful view of the castle and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. There were homeless by the front door, so safety when entering and leaving was a concern, but we didn’t have any problems.

Liked: Cleanliness
The area was very noisy beyond being in a city. Upon check-in, we had to step over 2 homeless people in the doorway to the building, and this was consistent at all hours and every day. The entryway to the flat was not clean and very cluttered. Since there is not air, the windows needed to be open, and the area is very loud. The flat is next door to a McDonalds, and there was a lot of activity. Once inside the flat, it was clean and spacious.
Great location, easy walk to old town and right in the middle of everything for shopping, dinner, market etc. kids loved the Tesco and McDonald’s right downstairs. Only suggestion is door stoppers as the room doors are very heavy.

Likes- location, size of unit
Dislikes- lack of sufficient towels, washer/dryer ineffective, hall is musty and front entry looks like a homeless shelter, poorly responsive management, lack of consistent hot water
This is close in to the main attractions of Edinburgh and has a view of the castle from the living room. It’s well appointed and very modern. The office staff is super friendly and we were able to store our luggage there until check in time. I would stay here again.
Clean and plenty of room. Good location. Of the places we stayed over 9 days in the brightest month of June, it was the only one with room darkening shades. I was surprised how much that mattered. Bit noisy in morning.

Location was great. Walkable to all attractions. Only downside was homeless people in vestibule to apartment. Had to step ariund them a few times to enter flat.
