Overall a very happy customer.
We attended specifically for the Edinburgh Fringe and the properties location on the Royal Mile was superb for the purpose. The property is lovely and the communications could not have been better.
It is harsh to be negative about the property however, on the basis of being even handed, i would say that particularly light sleepers might have struggled as, despite excellent sound proofing, some noise from the street below was inevitable particularly during the fringe. The bed was comfortable however not the best i have ever slept in. Being picky now!

Loved the location. The parking was a bit far away. Thought it was a bit claustrophobic because the doors were all set to close automatically

Location is 100% worth it! Amazing stay.
This was honestly one of the best bookings we have made on our trip. Location was excellent and lots of room inside. Kitchen was large and an elevator helped with all of our luggage we had to carry. Would 100% recommend you book if you are going to hit up all the sites in Edinburgh and want to have lots of pubs and restaurants close by.

It is convenient being on the Royal Mile (High Street). When we first arrived, the apartment smelled. I called, fortunately before 5 PM when they close and they sent over a maintenance person. The smell was associated with a shower drain. After airing out the place and running the shower for a few minutes, it was fine. Maybe, the staff could just inspect the apartment periodically or just before guests come?
Everything was pretty new and in good condition. The kitchen appliances may be standard for Europeans, but not for us from the States. Maybe some basic instructions for the dishwasher, oven, and cooktop?

Very nice property in the heart of the royal mile. We really enjoyed our short stay there! Only challenge was parking - we chose the train station as it was just a short walk, but a little pricey.
