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.
Wonderful apartment. Very good location, and nice and cozy clean room. Although you have to go 1st floor by steps, everything else is perfect. We would like to stay again when we visit Edinburgh.
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!

Edinburgh trip
Easy access to property clean and modern and a well equipped kitchen with tea and coffee
Shower room top notch with nice raindrop shower and nice toiletries
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.
Honestly a really great location and the apartment itself was amazing as well. Definitely recommend.

Perfectly situated apartment with very comfortable accommodations. The train and tram are within 1 block walking distance. The apt has a washer and dryer!!! Just be ready to walk 23 stairs up with your luggage to the first floor lift.

Be aware that if you book this hotel via Hotels,com or Expedia the hotel will email you around 18hrs before your check in to advise that you must telephone the office & provide credit card details for the security deposit. This is okay if you’re in the UK but might be an issue if you are on a long distance flight. You cannot access the apartment without first providing your details. There is no reception at the property, so be aware that you might find yourself stranded.
The apartment itself is well appointed & comfortable. The lift is on the first floor which might be an issue for you if you have limited mobility (or heavy luggage).
Location is excellent for walking everywhere & very close to train station.
It’s a roomy apartment , amenities are well considered. But need to clarify that you have to be there after 3PM. No front desk entry code won’t work before 3pm.
Nice, but outside factors make it a miserable stay
Newly renovated fully stocked apartment very close to train. Room itself is nice and comfortable. However, comfort also includes overall environment. Outside window is an alley full of unsightly dumpsters, seems to be a glass recycling center. At 5am, work trucks with their beeping alarms begin arriving, loading and dumping the glass bottles. It’s extremely loud and impossible to sleep through. Additionally there’s a solar bright light on an adjacent building pointed right to the apartment window. At 2am the room was as bright as daylight. Between the two, it was near impossible to get any sleep. While these are factors outside control of the company, they can take actions to mitigate these issues as again, comfort includes all factors and not being able to sleep is a key element of comfort.
Wonderful, pristine apartment. Would have liked to have been able to use the lift. Long climb up to the apartment. If use of the lift would be made available for guests, this place could be said to be perfect.
