It is a beautiful apartment on one loveliest streets in Edinburgh. As a bonus it has a large private garden. The living room and dining area invite you to relax. The kitchen was fully equipped for guests and we could could make tea and coffee in the mornings and fresh milk was thoughtfully provided as well.
The room was Moroccan themed with a sumptuous bathroom. The bed was super comfortable and we slept very well.
We booked last minute and the manager, Sav, was very helpful and accommodating. We will definitely stay again when we return.

I was worried these apartments would be booked up a long way in advance as the pictures looked so nice online but Sav did her best to accommodate us for the weekend we wanted. It was for our friend's hen weekend and we wanted somewhere spacious and modern, which is exactly what the city retreat is. The location was perfect and we had everything we needed. Sav kept in regular contact and everything was easy and fuss free which is just what you want when you're organising a busy weekend away with the girls! Great value for money and owner very approachable and friendly, we would definitely recommend these apartments to anyone wanting a spacious, modern, central apartment if you're in the beautiful city of Edinburgh with a big group of friends. All the girls loved the apartment and there was plenty of room for everyone and a nice big living room/dining area for socialising and party games! It makes all the difference if the place you're staying is nice. It was a home from home really as kitchen, bedrooms and living room was equipped with everything you'd want, even the boring stuff such as bin bags and ironing board! Thanks Sav - great weekend. :)

We hired the flat for three nights, as my daughter was getting married in Edinburgh.
The flat was very comfortable and spacious with three good sized bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms with fantastic showers. The living room and kitchen areas were really nice and would be comfortable even if you had 8 people in the flat. There is also a small garden at the back of the flat.
The flat is a 10 to 15 minute walk from Princes Street, Waverley Station and all the city centre attractions Edinburgh has to offer. Although close to the centre, the flat is located in a really quiet area, the only traffic and people passing were those coming to Carlton Terrace.
Parking was available on street if you wish, maximum stay 4hrs between 8.30 and 5.30 Monday to Friday and at £1.60 per hour is cheaper than some other parts of the city. QParks at the Omni Centre is very close as an alternative.
If there are 6 or 8 in the party, it's a much better and probably cheaper alternative to staying in a decent city centre hotel. You also have more space and will feel much more at home.
The owner was really helpful and was available at the end of the phone it needed.
I would recommend this flat if you are looking for a spacious, comfortable and practical flat in a superb location in Edinburgh.
The only point I would make which is not a complaint is that the flat is a basement flat with some steep steps leading down to the flat from the road, this was not an issue for anyone in our party.

Apartment was lovely and spacious for our group of nine ladies. Savita could not do enough for us and gave us tips on the best places to dine out and to visit. Had a great weekend and looking forward to going back. Thanks Savita again for all your advice.
Accommodation was lovely, very clean and stylish. City centre on doorstep and owner couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Really enjoyed our stay.
