This recently remodeled flat was the perfect combination of comfort, luxury and warmth--it was actually as wonderful as the pictures suggest.
During our week-long stay, my family of four made the most of the two-level layout, which provided plenty of private nooks to retreat to (very important when traveling with two older teens). We also thoroughly enjoyed hanging out in the comfortable kitchen/living room space.
This was our first time staying in the Grassmarket (we’ve stayed in an apartment on the Royal Mile on all prior trips), and we absolutely loved this wonderful location! It’s easily within walking distance to all the sites, plus it has its own great restaurants, independent shops, bakeries, and a lovely neighborhood feel.
The apartment was beautifully decorated and luxuriously appointed. I particularly appreciated the heated bathroom floors, high-pressure showers and the vanity in the master bedroom.
On the downside, there are several flights of stairs (external and one internal). But we were ok with this, and this may be the norm for Old Town Edinburgh flats.
Eddie was an absolutely terrific host. His instructions were clear and concise. Kitchen stocked with shortbread, Nespresso, tea, milk and sugar. Eddie and his wife also went above and beyond when we realized we left clothes behind at the flat. Truly concierge level service!
Highly recommend, and we plan to stay again the next time visiting Edinburgh.
