Yvonne was very helpful and easy to communicate with. As my wife and myself had an early morning flight from Dublin to Edinburgh, Yvonne very kindly facilitated our request for an early check in to the apartment in the morning rather than the afternoon. John, her friend, greeted us on arrival and could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The apartment was perfect for us, is spacious, has plenty of character and is in a historic listed building with fantastic views. Facilities were excellent and we really felt at home in it. The apartment was clean, tidy and warm, very comfortable bed. I would have no hesitation recommending Yvonne's "Beside the Castle" apartment, as being right beside Edinburgh Castle and in the heart of Edinburgh made for a most enjoyable stay in a beautiful and welcoming city.
