Slight hiccup at check in but Gavin resolved it impressively quickly. Great first floor location within Edinburgh old town. The flat was warm and comfortable. It is an old characterful building and the flat reflects but the beds were comfortable and clean and the bathroom and kitchen modern and clean. Little noise at night but you’d expect that from a central location. I would recommend.

First and foremost, NOT A GROUND FLOOR FLAT as advertised in title. It’s my bad for not reading all the way to the end of the full description where it states there are stairs (32 of them in a very narrow spiral staircase, plus the 4 just to enter the building). Very misleading! This was not convenient when you’re transporting 60lb suitcases and a 4’x2’x3’ bike case (because husband was racing in France), or in my particular situation, a bad knee. Once you get in to the flat, all is well. Very cozy with lots of old world charm. Bath and kitchen upgraded very tidy. Great views. Location is in the middle of old town. Groceries are a bit of a walk, but not too bad. If you are in the younger side and enjoy a very lively pub scene at night, this is your place. It gets pretty noisy late at night. But we wore earplugs and slept just fine. Host was communicative and provided plenty of keys. I would however recommend proving operation manuals for large appliances for those of us who come in from other countries.

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.

Perfect for walking to Edinburgh castle, Royal Mile and catching the tram to Brittania.Things I didn’t like-street & restauarnt noise. Needs room darknening curtains. Difficult to operate stovetop.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

Comfortable and safe 2BR apt in amazing location (Victoria St and Grassmarket). Note: Apt is on 1st floor (not ground level) and entrance is up a flight of narrow/tight spiral staircase. Also, due to it's location (near many lively pubs), it can be quite noisy. The apt was ideal for our family with two teens needing separate beds. Walking distance to everything -- and the hop-on-off bus stop just across the street. Hope to visit again!

Fantastic location! This property is located right on Victoria Street (Diagon Alley!) and within a super easy walking distance of the Royal Mile and literally everything. You absolutely cannot beat this spot! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Access to the flat was super easy and our host was helpful and communicative. The space was very comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed. We also really appreciated the snacks left for us. Thank you! Only a few minor negatives, because it is in a popular area, there can be some street/alleyway noise at night. Also, if you have mobility issues, the only way to access the flat is by a flight of stairs. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely old place!

This is a great place to stay to visit Old Edinburgh. I love quirky old places right in the heart of historic areas. The place is old so don’t expect a big modern house. It was a bit noisy at night but we had earplugs. It was clean, convenient, and comfortable. Loved it!

Great Experience in the Heart of Edinburgh

Gavin was a great host. Communication was very good. The location of the condo is right in the historic area of the city. We felt very safe and were in awe of the buildings, pubs, stores, coffee shops and walkabity of everything. Just a heads up that there are 33 narrow, spiral stairs up to the unit so accessibility could be an issue for some people. We would highly recommend this place.
