The room was super clean and spacious! It was so much more than what we expected. It's located in the old town, a mere 10 min walk from main landmarks like St Giles Cathedral. We loved our stay and will definitely come back

Apartment was in a great location which was very quiet off The Royal Mile. The apartment was very spacious and was very well equipped with kitchen items. Having a washing machine was very handy. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. An express Tesco was a short walk away. Highly recommend!
