Comfortable Stay in a Great Location
Wonderful location right off the Royal Mile. Our apartment was modern, clean, comfortable and quiet, even though we were in a busy area and there was construction going on towards the back of the building. More than enough space for our family to stretch out and relax after long days of touring the city! Linens provided were ample and clean, bath products were available in the bathrooms and the kitchen was well equipped. We would absolutely book again!

Loved the location and size of the property. Only recommendation would be to add a separate dryer. The combo didn’t dry and hanging them to dry is not ideal when you’re vacationing.

This property was wonderful. Directly on the Royal Mile. Large living area, well maintained, comfortable beds and amenities. Was a little difficult to locate. The gate to the property is in Bishops Close. The closest parking garage was about a 10 minute walk, so drop off luggage first! We used St. James Quarter garage.
This was close to all sightseeing. Would definitely recommend!

It is right in the middle of all the action so if you want quiet, it may be a bit loud for some. We loved it.

Spotless apartment with view. Great for 2 couples since 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. Didn’t like how all the doors close automatically. Would like to leave open for better airflow through apartment.
