This flat was absolutely perfect for our family of 5. Our children (12, 9 and 9) stayed in the pictured room with the double and single bed and my wife and I stayed in the master.
Location - Excellent. Towards the lower end of the Royal Mile. Less busy here than up towards the castle. We found this convenient for walking to all of our destinations (Arthur’s Seat / Holyrood, Edinburgh Castle & Grassmarket at the top of the Royal Mile, and Prince’s St Gardens / New Town. Connecting bus lines just outside. Great pub just down the street. Tesco Grocery 5 minute walk.
Accommodations: Excellent. Older historical building. The flat is located on the 3rd floor - be advised it is walkup only via narrow winding stairs. Not a problem for our family but may be a consideration for those with mobility problems. The flat was clean, well appointed (furnishings, kitchen accessories, dishwasher detergent, bath, etc). Washer functioned well. A drying rack is provided as well.
Hosting: Excellent. A binder was provided with detailed operating instructions for television & WiFi, user manuals for appliances, etc. most were self explanatory to use but this was a nice touch for helping self-resolve any issues that might arise. Binder also included local venue guides for the area.
Check In: Excellent. Gill communicated in timely fashion with us in advance to coordinate check in based on our arrival schedule. We were met at the agreed upon time by her husband who showed us through the flat and provided the keys.
Overall a great choice for our family of 5 and I highly recommend.
