Very close to the station and all the shops and restaurants.
The room was spacious and had big windows.
The shower room could do with a refreshing, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.

This unit was in the perfect location to everything. It felt safe due to code locks. It was quiet and a comfortable size for my me and my husband. The unit was very clean, the bathroom was so large and the bed comfortable. The kitchenette was well equipped. I highly recommend this property.

LOCATION! It’s within walking distance of EVERYTHING a tourist will want to do. I actually didn’t realize its incredible location until I arrived. 2 minutes(!) from the train station which is how I arrived. 2 minutes(!) in the other direction for the ($10) tram that takes you to/from the airport! Walking distance to everything. The place itself is all updated. Fells new. Beautiful well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer combo in unit. Love the keyless entry. The ONLY negative is the construction on adjacent bldg (July 2025). Staging area is outside the window, but since they worked during the day, it wasn’t huge inconvenience since I was out tourist-ing during the day anyway. A bit pricey, but worth the splurge for its LOCATION and excellent condition and amenities.

Very hot. Windows opened but noise all night from Princes street. People shouting, arguing. Also directly above McDonald and kfc which left an unpleasant smell of fried food all the time.
Kitchen area nice, bed comfy but just not as nice as other apartments we’ve staying in in Edinburgh.
Located close to station, playhouse, shopping etc which is a plus

Great place to call home base in Edinburgh
We rented a STUDIO apartment on the 3rd floor. Bed was comfortable (American FULL SIZE, not Queen or King), shower was roomy and easy to use, washer/drawer and full kitchen was a major plus. Only one flight (30 steps) of stairs to get to the lift. Very old building, clean, updated and modern. For all those with allergies— absolutely no signs of mold or mildew. Located just steps from Princess Street and the main entrance to Waverley Station.

Perfect location very close to train station. There was a big storm, and they kindly let us check in early before it arrived at no cost. That was really remarkable. Very modern and updated appliances even a washer & dryer in one. Definitely recommend!
