Amazing location, great communication with queries. However, room was 26 degree and didn’t cool down at all even with air con on.
There’s huge extractor fan for KFC at the bathroom window in flat 1b and it was really noisy all night! Also made the room smell like KFC

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.

Great location, other units would have been better
The accommodation was clean and an excellent location - the downside is that the windows overlooked the exhaust fans to both McDonald’s and KFC. This was extremely loud until around 4am and made the unit smell of fast food the entire duration

Fully self contained studio apartment in central location across from Waverley Station and only 10min walk to Royal Mile. Washer/dryer easy to use from following instructions in App. Lift from level 1, be prepared for 30 odd stairs to get to level one, only an issue if you have heavy luggage. Would stay again.

Apartment was great, even for just 2 nights. Good location for getting to and from the train station and walking in Edinburgh. No view- we looked out at the sides of 3 buildings. Kitchenette was easy to work in but no microwave. The biggest disappointment was that the elevator was broken and we had to climb 3 flights of stairs with 3 suitcases and 2 backpacks- after just finishing an 8 day hike adventure. Good thing we are fit 71 year olds.

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!

Great location
Location was ideal for us as we were there for a short time and mostly walking to attractions etc so very handy. The apartment did have stairs to access but very manageable even for us in our sixties!
Apartment was very spacious, clean, tidy, bright, and warm. Need was comfortable and kitchenette and bathroom had everything you need for a short stay. Would happily stay here again. Did have an issue with wifi. Couldn't connect any of 3 devices. It was compounded in part because for some reason i couldn't receive emails from Destiny even when using another wifi. This was despite them even trying while i was in the phone with them. Was a minor issue in the greater scheme of things anyway. We had a good time and very much enjoyed Edinburgh!
