Lovely central apartments

Both our apartments were lovely. We were overlooking princes street. Very central location. Spacious apartment, nicely decorated, plenty of toiletries in bathroom. Car parking was a 5-10 min walk away, quite expensive but we did receive a discount staying here. Would recommend and would stay again in the future.

Great location

The property is fantastic. located extremely well for Princess and George Street with the apartment being well presented, clean and all the facilities needed and as described. The only area to improve on is that the property does not have air conditioning and if the weather is good the sun shines directly in and you cannot really leave the windows open due to noise emanating from Princess St

Beautiful studio apartment. Very well equipped and modern. Only small issue was the sewer smell coming from the shower drain, which I believe is a common issue when renovating old buildings. I simply put a bowl upside down over it when not using the shower and the problem was solved. Oh, and the mattress needs to be replaced by a real one 😉

Great property, and staff were very responsive and helpful in answering questions and helping (like storing luggage). We could walk to almost every tourist spot in Edinburgh in 30 minutes or less (Holyrood maybe 40 minutes). Public transportation (trams, busses) is right outside the door. The flat was very comfortable and fitted out well (though it would have been nice to have some basics like salt & pepper, cooking oil in kitchen). It is at corner of Charlotte and Princes streets which are very busy streets. You could hear some noise, but with double windows, the street noise was pretty mild. My wife is fairly sensitive to noise, but with simple earplugs, she was fine for sleeping. One other thing. You need to be able to climb stairs. These stairs were wide and easy to manage even with luggage, which is not always the case at other places in UK.

Disliked: Communication
The property was OK, gaining access to it was NOT. We were informed we should have received a communication detailing how to access the property three days prior to arrival - this did not happen. As a result, we were standing on a very busy street corner with a lot of background noise, trying to call the property (at international call rates) in order to gain entry. A most unpleasant experience after an overnight flight. We got in after about 15 minutes of phone calls and received the instruction email a few minutes AFTER we took occupancy vs the 3 day advance notice we were led to believe we should have had. NOT a good experience and a terrible way to start a vacation! The property itself/location etc was fine, parking was not required so no issues there, no issues re: safety that you wouldn't expect in another other major city.

This was a modern hidden studio apartment upstairs of a mobile phone store accessed through an unassuming door in the corner. The original façade of the old building was untouched, but the insides were renovated. Plus: location was as central as you can get (maybe a little "too central"?) Window facing the castle. Studio felt very modern and probably remodeled not very long ago. Even though address was given in the email, some basic descriptions of the place in the email would've helped because Google maps sent me to the OTHER nearby (wrong) location when I just searched the name (there were multiple locations in the same areas). There were some homeless people loitering near the entrance and smelled of urine at the entrance. Walking in the studio. almost every other step generated loud creaking noise. They did not reinforce the old floor before covering up with new flooring. Thankfully it was a mobile phone shop that wasn't opened in the evening. But because of that, it affected the stay experience. Second complaint was the stairs. Not easy carrying my big luggage up since there were no lifts/elevators. Maintenance was feeling a little off, one of my bedside lamps did not work. Due to the apartment being a little warm, I had to open the window to get some fresh air (no air conditioning, but ok). However, being so central, and only on the 2nd floor, I can hear people talking loudly and traffic noises all the way until it died down in the later hours.

This was a great place to stay in Edinburgh. It was nice, had all updated modern amenities and centrally located to tasty restaurants and tourist locations - we walked almost everywhere. I would definitely stay there again - It was nice having a spacious studio. A few items I read in other reviews that were helpful: 1. The office, several blocks away, will let you store your luggage until you can check in. We arrived early, so this was nice. 2. There are no elevators - This was good to know in advance. I highly recommend these apartments.
