Reviews

Mark 8/10
Australia 🇦🇺

Pros: Liked the location as we were close to everything. View from the living room was nice as you can see the castle while sitting outdoors. Well heated.

Cons: Beds were small and not that comfy. Shower wasn't the best as pressure was low and you would freeze one half of your body while trying to shower the other. Bedroom windows face the stairs, in winter in the middle of the week it was fine as it wasn't as busy but we noticed foot traffic got busy on the weekend.

Great

Pros: Great location in the old town. With a little terrace.

Cons: Prices during the fringe are outrageous. The bathroom is a little bit tired and small for a family of four. Get rid of the bath and install a bigger shower.

Rather enjoyable

Pros: The terrace is super. The host should create canopy so that guests can enjoy it also when it rains

Cons: The bed was too small and the matras was too soft. Replace the beds! A curtain needs to be added in the kitchen

Val 10/10

It was great.

Pros: The lounge with the big french doors was lovely and the outside balcony was an absolute treat as the weather was great. The location at Grassmarket was also really good due to the shops and dining.

Cons: We had to keep the blinds drawn in the bedrooms as tourists were constantly going up and down the steps on that side of the building which made the bedrooms dark and uninviting, but we understood why that was necessary. It did not affect our sleep as there were no tourists around at nights. It was just such a contrast having this spacious, light lounge and kitchen on one side then dark bedrooms on the other side. But, it did not spoil our stay, it's just a tiny point.

Perfect location and fantastic views, clean and cosy.

Pros: Fantastic views of the castle from the lounge, kitchen and patio. Perfect location just steps away from Grassmarket, cafes, bars and shops. Clean and everything you could need for a stay.

Cons: As it was not manned you could not leave bags on final day.

Unbeatable location, friendly hosts and great facilities

Pros: Lewis was at the property and came to greet us, helped with the luggage, gave us the keys and went through the check-in and check-out process. Lovely property with a shared garden, and unbeatable location (within minutes walk of the Royal Mile, the Castle, and Princes Street). Very close to restaurants, a bus stop and a 5min walk from the groceries shop

Cons: Beds were a little too soft, but this is a personal preference.
