The property is located in New Town and the main entrance is located in an alley and not on the main road. Taxis will drop you off the main road and it will be a short walk to the main entrance. Instructions for contactless check-in is very clear. The area is in a quiet part of Edinburgh and we felt safe for the entire time we were there. There is a lift or elevator but before you reach the lift there will be a set of stairs. The apartment is huge, updated, and very clean. No airconditioning and windows can't be opened so it was a bit uncomfortable when sleeping as I like being in a cold room. The view of the sunrise and sunset from our room can't be beat. We are on the 10th floor and our view is towards the sea. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Well equipped, nothing to dislike, slatted blinds would be nice so you can have light coming in but the properties opposite cannot see into the lounge.

We rented two one bedroomed apartments, which were perfect for our party of four. The apartments were amazing. Very high standard of decor and furnishings. Surprisingly quiet and fantastic views from Floors 5 & 6. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Perfect!
Fabulous apartment. Extremely quiet and within walking distance of everything you need. It may look a little dismal as you arrive at the entrance but don’t let that put you off. A home away from home.
