Gill was fantastic with communication - prompt, polite, and informative. She was flexible and allowed us to check in early with our flight landing well before standard check-in time and because no one had booked the day before. This was a huge help for us in dealing with jet-lag. Everything inside of the flat was very clean, tidy, and worked as it should... there were even goodies waiting for us in the fridge. The location of the place is great, geographically, for touring old town on foot – walking distance to everything.

However, if you're looking for a quiet place, this may not be for you. It's a basement apartment and there is a good amount of foot traffic down Robertson's Close about 8-10 feet from the front door. Granted we were there over Friday and Saturday nights, but because of the nearby bars, there were strings of very loud, very drunk people walking, running, falling, screaming, yelling, singing, and I think even fighting once. This lasted until the hours of 3AM on BOTH nights, unfortunately. There was some noise from the apartment above with the wood floors at all, but that was to be expected. The noise outside wasn't so expected. If you're very, very used to the sounds of the city, it could be OK. However, for us, the lack of sleep / late morning starts because of being woken up all night meant that we missed a handful of things that we wanted to see the next day in Edinburgh.

I really hate to leave this much negativity with Gill being so great to work with... she really was top-notch and the noise was not her fault. The interior of the place is great, I just wish we would've known more about the drunk foot traffic. For those who don't mind the noise, and perhaps will not be straddling a weekend holiday, this could be a fine place.
