The apartment was very large and very clean. The thirty three steps up to the apartment were easy to walk, and it was close to everything. The only problem I had, and this is a personal problem, was the sea food restaurants just below the apartment. I have a seafood allergy and the smell was extremely strong a couple of days. There are also a couple of late night bars just outside the window so it was a bit noisy until after midnight, but not so much to make me wish I had gone elsewhere. Gavin left a wonderful welcome basket, and also left us a couple of adapters to use so we could charge our phones. It was very thoughtful and much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this apartment to future travellers.

Great location within walking distance to pretty much all the big local attractions. Flat was great and well maintained and the communication with Gavin was awesome. Only drawback was the noise level at night. Awesome spot for anyone looking to take advantage of all Edinburgh had to offer.

Absolutely excellent location, & beautiful flat...exactly as pictured. And Gavin was brilliant, letting us check in early. There are spiral stairs, as stated in description of flat, & it is in a busy area, lots of pubs, so there will be noise...also very clear in description. Wonderful waterfall shower!!! And there is a bit of a castle view, which we didn't expect! The one & only suggestion I have, is to raise the bedframes a bit....comfy beds, loved the sheets, but they are low enough to make it a beat difficult to get out of. But, not a problem big enough to mark down for. Thanks, Gavin! You, your flat &, of course, Edinburgh were absolutely wonderful!
