I recently stayed at 5 The Moorings, Leith with my husband, 2 children (5 years and 11 months) and our friends who also have 3 children to celebrate hogmanay 2013. We all agreed that the apartment is well equipt for families, it is very clean and comfortable and is a really nice place to stay. Everything we needed was available in the apartment (highchair, cot, spare towels etc). We were met by the owner on our arrival who kindly showed us around the apartment which I felt was a nice touch, Diane also left us a really nice welcome pack (wine, biscuits, chocolates and chocolate lollies for the children which I thought was a great way to welcome guests.
The apartment an ideal base to explore Edinburgh and the location is perfect especially if you want to escape the busy centre of Edinburgh. Leith has some lovely bars and restaurants and the apartment is perfectly located close to Ocean Terminal shopping centre and theres an Asda close by which came in very handy when we needed extra food supplies! There is a bus stop right next to the apartment so we happily jumped on the bus into the centre on a few occasions, the buses are regular and its only a short ride into the centre.
I would highly recommend this apartment, I really cant fault it, its in a perfect location, its very homely and comfy and a great place to relax after lots of sightseeing and trekking around Edinburgh.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Moorings. Di was a pleasure to deal with during the booking process and it was lovely to meet her and her partner. The apartment is spacious, well-appointed and located in a vibrant part of Edinburgh that has ready access to transport, restaurants and shopping facilities. Highly recommend staying at this very reasonably priced vacation rental.

We booked this apartment for 7 people, two in each of the three bedrooms and one on the sofa bed in the sitting room. The owner, Diana Callander, was accommodating and thoughtful in her communications and recommended a superb place for breakfast, just a five minute walk away, called Mimi's.
The accommodation was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. There was a shopping mall close by as well as the Royal Yacht Britannia.
We only stayed one night but would definitely go back again and can easily recommend this as a great place to stay in Edinburgh.

Can't say enough about this amazing apartment. Home away from home. Comfortable, warm and spacious. Everything was of a very high standard without feeling like a hotel. Di and Lenny were the most obliging people to the extent of taking my husbands suit to be dry cleaned so we didn't have to worry about finding somewhere to get it done. The buses were just across the road at the ocean terminal along with a supermarket and anything else you might need or want. M and S simply food are very limited in what they have but if you order on line it can be delivered to the Ocean Terminal free of charge for you to collect. If like me you don't like cooking there are heaps of very good eateries close by. Will definitely return.

We stayed at the flat for four nights at the beginning of August 13, two friends from Germany and two of us from Coventry. We have been going to Edinburgh for the last three years for the tattoo and this is the best accommodation we have had to date. So much so I plan on booking it again for next year. It is very spacious and totally well equipped. There are plenty of bars, restaurants and buses close by so no need to use the car. There's also a supermarket (towards Newhaven) within walking distance for those who don't wish to eat out all the time.
I can't recommend this flat highly enough. Diana, the owner, is so accommodating and so friendly and truly interested in your comfort. Her personality shines through in the flat.
Big thanks Di for a fantastic stay
