“From what I've gathered, these apartments offer a sweet spot-a blend of historical charm in Edinburgh's New Town with the practicalities of modern living, like those well-equipped kitchens I noticed. The location is superb; you're nestled in a vibrant area, steps away from cultural hotspots but also tucked away from the loudest tourist throngs, as some reports suggest it's surprisingly quiet. It seems ideal for both short city breaks and longer, more immersive stays.”

a dreamy escape

organized buildinglively streetspeedy internetlaundry absence
My sweetheart and i savored six nights in a third-floor apartment with such a view. the building felt very organized, a testament to excellent management. its location shone. The lively street was quiet and so well connected. cleanliness was divine, and the speedy internet allowed us to share beautiful moments instantly.
the absence of laundry facilities was felt deeply during our longer stay, it was such a simple convenience that would have enhanced our peace of mind.

street noise and minor issues

good locationstained rugbroken chair
the location was alright around 15 mins walk from the train station
i contacted staff about some problems they said they would deal with it but the matters weren't dealt with while i was there. a broken dining chair stained rug and cushions on the bed that were stained and smelled bad bothered me. the headboard and the kitchen unit both need a repaint it seems the pictures of this room are much better than the reality
