A friend and I stayed in this lovely apartment for four nights in September. It was spacious, comfortable, beautifully appointed, very clean and extremely well located. The bed linens are high quality and the beds very comfortable. Hot water was readily available with excellent water pressure. The apartment is quiet and is on the first floor which, in Scotland, means it is up a flight of stairs. However, the stairs are wide and the steps are not steep.

Although the kitchen was well equipped, we had the majority of our meals at nearby restaurants. We found Thai, French and Italian restaurants right on Thistle St. There are several pubs nearby as well. From this apartment, it was a comfortable walk to shopping and sightseeing. We really enjoyed being able to explore Edinburgh and walk back "home".

I have to mention Robert, the host. He met us on arrival (we were late due to a bit of taxi chaos at the airport). He was pleasant and welcoming. He gave us clear instructions and answered any questions we had and told us to contact him if any issues arose. I did contact him the next day about how to operate something and he replied within minutes. However, it was after we moved out of the apartment that he really saved the day for us. On arrival at the train station I discovered I had forgotten my purse with all my money and documents at the apartment. We called him and he not only went back and found the purse but hurriedly delivered it to us at the train station. We made our train to Bath with Robert to thank! Outstanding attention and kindness are a rarity and we found it on Thistle St in Edinburgh. I would give this apartment and host my highest recommendation.

We really enjoyed our time in Edinburgh and our stay at the Thistle Street apartment. The apartment is very spacious and well-situated in New Town. We enjoyed coming back to the apartment each day and being able to relax. We did not do much cooking, other than some porridge, but the kitchen was adequate for that purpose. Our only complaint would be issues with the water temperature. I don't know that we ever got that worked out during our stay which meant either a very hot or very cold shower. If that were worked out, we would definitely love to stay again. Thanks to Robert for his hospitality.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with another couple at the Thistle Street apartment. Robert was very helpful and the apartment was perfect - location, furnishings, amenities and comfort. Was easy walking distance, even with large suitcases, from Waverly. Visited three restaurants on the block and all were outstanding. Will plan to stay here again when we return.

We returned to Thistle street again this year and it was as good as ever. If you have never been before look no further. I've stayed in 7 apts in Edinburgh and this is by far the best. We stayed 4 nights at end march beginning of April and with exception of Baltic weather we had an amazing time. The apt is gorgeous, well stocked, very clean and modern and on a very central and funky street lined with great restaurants and bars. We'd recommend Bon vivant for cocktails , dusit thai, queens arms for great friendly bar food and drinks, thistle bar for small cosy bar and coffee shop next to eateket for brekky. Communication with Robert was easy and he was there to greet us. One thing to remember is to get shown the lever on boiler for hot water... We forgot! When we found out it was fine. Otherwise you are near everything and we will definitely return. Olivia Dublin

Loved the apartment and the location.

Plenty of room for 2 couples and one room having the en suite was ideal.

Selection of good restaurants on doorstep and only minutes to George Street or Princes Street.

Owner was very helpful and responded promptly to communications.

Hope to return soon.

This apartment has everything you need for a stay in Edinburgh. It is very spacious and is located in the very center of New Town. There are several restaurants and pubs just around the corner or on the other side of the street.

There are 2 large bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you need is you want to make your own food. We made our own breakfast, but went out for lunch and dinner.

We arrived late one evening and travelled from the airport with a taxi. The owner met us in the apartment and gave us a quick tour of the premises. The apartment is very near to the tram station in St. Andrews square, so we tried the tram back to the airport when leaving.
