Great location! Hidden gem!

Great location, walking distance to everything and the Edinburgh bus system makes everything extremely convenient. The appliances are a bit tricky, but the host communication is splendid and it works great once you figure it out. The windows give a cool nights breeze and you do not hear street noise. We will be back!

Incredible Location / Weird Shower

We were in town to attend the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. This flat was spacious and comfortable for the five of us. The location cannot be beat. We were within easy walking distance of every sight we wanted to see and so many great restaurants. The flat has every amenity you could want. We appreciated the treats - coffee, candy, soda, Prosecco! - left for us. Fast WiFi. Generally a quiet area, even with the August Fringe crowds nearby. Our only drawback was the weird electric shower. The temperature would not remain constant. It alternated between freezing and scalding.

Amazing location on cowgate, in the centre of town. Extremely walkable. The apartment is very spacious and ground floor (no stairs!), but note steep drive/lane from cowgate. It was IMMACULATE and so tidy. Our hosts were very responsive, and left some lovely scottish treats in the apartment, which made it feel like home. Highly recommended.

Great location

This is a very basic 2 bedroom apartment. The bedrooms were small, but the living area was spacious enough for us. Great location in the heart of old town. A bit tricky to find….if you are driving or being driven to the property, enter Okd Fisherman Close via Cowgate, as it is the only car entry location. Also, be aware that the close this property is on is pretty steep and lengthy. However, you are right by numerous attractions including the Edinburgh castle, and lots of restaurants nearby. Location also has easy access to LNER station and bus stops.
