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!

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.

Sightseeing Edinburgh

The apartment was centrally located with a view of the Grassmarket, spacious, and comfortable. All the sights were within easy walking distance. We felt very comfortable and would gladly return. The booking and subsequent communication with Gavin were excellent. Many thanks to Gavin and Donna.
