This was a fantastic home from home in Edinburgh. The apartment is as described in previous reviews which led us to book Sevi’s place.
It’s in a great location, Stockbridge has all you need and it’s only 20 mins stroll into Edinburgh city with loads of shops snd cafes en route. We have children of 7 and 10 who easily walked in each day.
We caught a bus from the airport into the city centre and walked to Stockbridge. Public transport is very cheap here.
Check in was easy as the keys were in a key safe. Sevi was also kind enough to allow us to check in a few hours early as we had bags to drop off.
The apartment is comfortable for a small family. Sevi left little extras which made all the difference- snacks, milk, wine. There was tea and coffee already there.
Little things for self catering like toiletries, washing up liquid soaps and loo rolls were all provided so you don’t have a big shop to do just for a couple of nights.
It’s a ground floor flat but it’s quiet. We didn’t hear anything from the other flats at night.
We had a couple of early nights where we cooked in and played the games provided like Monopoly which the kids loved, then Netflix for when you just want to put your feet up.
We would definitely stay again and fully recommend.
This was our first time in Edinburgh and what a beautiful, clean place. The streets are so clean, it feels really safe even with children in the evening, and there were loads of free events on for kids in the city that we stumbled upon. But one tip would be to plan and book in advance. Restaurants are really busy in the evenings and so were some tourist attractions. We didn’t book and found that we had to eat in some chain restaurants where independents were too busy. Also most pubs either don’t allow children or not past 7pm so you can be limited.
You can get around Edinburgh without a car if you’re ok on foot. Buses and the tram are cheap and frequent if you need to go further afield (we went to the zoo and it cost just over £10 return on a bus from the city for 4 of us)
Altogether a great stay. We can’t wait to return.
