An excellent property that was a perfect location for all local amenities. The tram stop was very near and there were many options for dining or having a beer. The National Portrait Gallery was only a couple of hundreds yards away and was excellent. The property was minutes away from Waverley train station. The property itself was excellent and was accurately described. We were very impressed with the office team who put themselves out to accommodate a slightly earlier access on arrival and rang us to tell us when we could get in. Also.when we had a minor issue with the electrics a member of the team turned up in minutes. The property certainly helped us to have a very enjoyable 5 day stay and we will definitely look to use Destiny if we visit the area again.

Perfect location very close to train station. There was a big storm, and they kindly let us check in early before it arrived at no cost. That was really remarkable. Very modern and updated appliances even a washer & dryer in one. Definitely recommend!

Very good....but.........

Overall the stay was great,the apartment was very clean and had all the amenities we needed,as well as being in a prime location. However there were 2 things that let it down slightly for us, Number 1,our apartment was at the back of the building and it was pretty noisy,with deliveries arriving at 4 am and bins being emptied early on as well,we ended up using ear plugs. Number 2,during booking it mentioned that there was a lift from the first floor onwards........what wasn't mentioned is the 30 odd steps to climb with luggage before you get to the lift!, anyone with heavy bags or maybe a pram would have really struggled I'd imagine. Other than that it was fine.

Excellent room in heart of Edinburgh

Comfy, nice, clean room near Walter Scott Memorial. Discounted off site parking. Outside door into building tricky to find. (It was right next to KFC). Nicest room in my two week trip. Wish I’d had it for more than a night.

I came here with my mum who is 70 she was fine with the stairs equivalent to one flight in a house. Then there is a lift. The apartment is PERFECTLY situated for Edinburgh centre and the Christmas Market is across the road. Everything is no more than 10 min walk max! Lots of lovely shopping and a million places to eat, so hard to choose. I will absolutely go to this apartment again.

Smells like McDonald’s chips !

The apartment was advertised as being on St Andrews square. This was not quite the case. It turned out we walked from there towards Princes street, and the door of the apartments was right next to a McDonald’s. Not quite the location we thought! However, extremely central! When we entered the apartment building the hall area was functional, but not particularly welcoming. Upon opening the door to the apartment the smell of greasy chips was overwhelming. We worked out the extractor fan of either the McDonald’s or the KFC was outside our window. It was quite frankly disgusting! The room was styled nicely and the bathroom was luxurious, but nothing could distract us from the smell which came in wafts. For this reason I would not stay there again. Our clothes and hair smelled of this smell the whole of the next day!

Very conveniently located near the rail station and allowed walking to everywhere we wanted to visit. Bit of a challenge for people our age getting luggage up, as the lift started at the first floor and had to take bags up a long staircase from the street entrance (thankfully, the staircase was wide).

The overall stay was good. As we arrived after 5, i couldn’t locate the hair dryer in my room and the heated towel rack was not working, I contacted the property by WhatsApp as instructed from the property’s email. There was no response from the property until I checked out. We rented the apartment with 2 rooms, there should be one hair dryer in each room but only one was found. Since there are more baby boomers visitors, I recommend hand grip should be installed inside the shower unit. The location is good and convenient.
