Guest Reviews
“Gorgeous place in the heart of Edinburgh! The apartment is very well designed, amenities are top notch, very friendly communication. I was worried that it would be loud as it is just 10 steps away from Royal Mile, but the place was really quiet even in the middle of Fringe Festival! ”
“This is a very special opportunity to stay in the heart of the heritage sector. Inside is a beautifully designed and calm apartment, steeped in history and part of a very skillful renovation. Step through the close and you are under the castle, at the top of the Royal Mile and able to walk down lovely lanes in all directions.”
“It was a HUGE treat to stay in such a historical location if you are a history nerd like me, and the painted beams were the jewel of the apartment. Fiona has put a lot of care into making the apartment comfortable, and her communication was fantastic… I felt like I was well taken care of and could reach her for anything.”
“You can’t beat the location as it’s only an 8 minute walk from Waverley, right on the Royal Mile, close to pubs, museums, shopping, historical landmarks… seriously, you could practically crawl to the castle. I really hope I can return to this flat someday!”
