Quirky but good stay
The location was fine with cafes and stores nearby, however I can’t imagine why it was voted 4th best neighborhood in the world. The flat was clean and spacious. One of the king size beds was very hard and not comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Parking was a 10 min walk away so not super convenient.

Wedding trip
Family stayed for daughter’s wedding Ideal location as close to her flat. All good with flat apart from hot water tap in bathroom which requires some attention. We were not confident leaving car at Swanfield so made another arrangement. Might be better to advise guests to make their own arrangements. Otherwise an excellent place to stay for a larger group.

Lovely Accommodation
Can’t fault the accommodation. Spacious, well resourced and ideal location. Parking was an issue as not outside property, but a 5 minute drive away to a trading estate where I just had to leave the car and hope for the best! Communication not great. Had no idea about parking until after we’d arrived and unloaded so could potentially have got a ticket. And still waiting for a response for another issue but we’re back home!

Weekend in Leith
It is a beautiful property with all the amenities you could need and even some toiletries! A few instructions for appliances would have been helpful but not a problem. Great location and some lovely places to eat in Leith as well. And beautiful brunch in urban jungle and tapas meal in la casa. Would recommend staying here

Perfect location for an unhappy occasion
This was the perfect place for our group of 8 on the unhappy occasion of a family funeral. The family grew up just one street over, were my in-laws spent over 60 years of their lives together before moving away to the west coast 4 years ago. The neighborhood brought back all the nostalia for my husband and his siblings and especially my mother-in-law. It was great walking through the neighborhood and visiting some of the same shops and restaurants they had visited as children & teens. The flat itself was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. I couldn't believe how spacious it was, it slept all 8 of us comfortably with the 2 pull-out/trundle beds and having 2 showers made getting ready for the funeral in the morning very easy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to have a couple family meals. Overnight street parking right in front was free from 530pm to 830am, Free daytime parking at the hosts warehouse was available within a short walk. I was weary at first as this was our first time using a VRBO rental and there was a couple of negative reviews but after reading the negatives, I realized that it was most likely people who are unfamiliar with the area and/or Scotland in general because the complaints were about things I find to be pretty standard in Scotland (as an American who has visited often due to visiting family). shower controls are different, older buildings are not always handicap accesible, the city can be noisy and there is usually graffiti.

Average accomodations
We had a party of 6 (my husband, myself, our 3 kids 15, 19, & 21, and my elderly mom). There was no sleeper sofa available so one of my kids had to sleep on the couch. Temperature inside was not comfortable, we had to use fans because windows won't open. Very dirty outside around the grounds. Listing was t accurate either.

Good location for exploring Edinburgh
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely apartment. The apartment was convenient and in walking distance of sights we wanted to see. Although there was parking provided, we chose not to use it due to the location and returned our rental car early - would recommend no car if possible during your stay.

Less than we expected
The apartment was a good size for our group of six however, there were some drawbacks. There was no kitchen roll, no cleaning products in the kitchen, no laundry detergent, a broken sink in the shower room, and an incomplete plumbing set in the room with the bathtub, so that water would shoot to the ceiling when one of the valves was opened. The listing was a little deceptive because it said there was a dryer and there was only a clothes drying rack. In Scotland, it takes at least two days for clothes to dry, which was a big drawback for a family with small children. The neighborhood was not very nice, there was graffiti and rubbish everywhere. In the evenings, there were drunk people wandering the streets yelling at flower beds.
For the cost of this apartment, we definitely did not get value for money. The apartment was run down and missing basic equipment and the area was terrible. We would not stay here again.

Fantastic! you won't be disappointed.....
This apartment was great. It looks exactly as the pictures show. We were a party of 7, we were all happy and comfortable. The location is great with a tram very close by.
The kitchen was functionable with all the things you need to feed your family. 2 supermarkets just up the block. This place is a gem. If you book it you are winning. Host was great and very responsive.
