We instantly felt confortable and welcome in this very well-appointed and roomy restored appartment looking out towards the castle! Everything that you could possibly want is here...the combo washer/dryer was a little challenging but everything else was simple to use. The hosts were genuinely nice people...we liked them instantly. One word of warning, make certain that you make your reservation... more

We started our trip in Edinburgh and booked the newer Apartment by the Castle, which is across the street from the original one that is still available for renting as well. Our hosts were delightful, were there to great us when we arrived, helped us settle into the apartment, and gave us tips about the surrounding area. The apartment itself... more

Extremely friendly owner that met us (she stood in the door when we arrived). Nice and clean, great view. Just some steps down to the grassmarket, a small walk to the royal mile, great view to the castle. What more could we wish for? Well - go to restaurant NUMBER ONE in Edinburgh. It's worth every penny! more

So sorry its... more

What a great place to stay in Edinburgh. I thought it was amazing to see that the pictures on the website matched the property exactly! We were met by the owner when we arrived. She had a lovely basket of food with fresh milk, cheese, bread and orange juice in the fridge. This was really a nice treat, and we... more
