2nd Time staying in this apartment. 8 adults stayed comfortably between the 3 bedrooms and the pull out couch in the living room. Everything you need is at hand. Apartment was spotless and extremely convenient to access all areas of Edinburgh. Having the Tram stop 1 minute away was perfect to get to/from the airport.

We had a fabulous stay at Giovanna's apartment over our week long stay (8 adults - 2 aged 50's / 6 in 20's). The apartment was beautiful and had all the amenities that we required. It is located in a great part of the city - multiple choices of restaurants & pubs close by and a grocery story less than a minute walk away. Easy Tram ride from the airport with a stop just outside of the apartment location and a 15 minute walk to the Royal Mile / Castle. Apartment was exactly as described - 3 bedrooms (2 with queen sized beds 1 with bunk beds) and a living room pull out couch. There is a futon in one of the bedrooms as well. The 3 flights of stairs is a workout on the legs with the suitcases but we knew that there was no lift when booking. Lots of communication with the hosts for a super easy check in. Their restaurant downstairs is also wonderful! The street noise wasn't an issue - we did bring earplugs as we didn't know how the night traffic / partiers might be but we did not need them. We would absolutely stay again - Thanks again Giovanna for everything.

We loved the apartment and location. Everything worked great and was very clean. Easy parking and good restaurants in the neighborhood. We enjoyed Giovannis downstairs! The management was very responsive and quick to respond to any questions before and during our arrival.The only drawback was our apartment was on the 3rd level (4th in US terms) with no elevator. Lugging our luggage was difficult. That being said, we would definitely stay here again!

This property was very clean and inviting. Giovanna was exceptionally attentive and helpful as a host, and she runs a great Italian restaurant next door. Check it out. Our stay was a wonderful experience for our family. The negative was the walk up 3 flights of stairs for us of a certain age; but, hey, the extra exercise may have resulted in our slight loss of weight—something that has almost never occurred for us on vacations.

Perfect location right in the centre of everything you could need. Large kitchen and living area that enabled the 6 of us to relax and spend time together. Every space was very clean. Nice to have a roomy shower. Beds were comfortable, even the bunk beds (considering we’re over 60). Grateful there were fans provided as it was super hot in Scotland during our visit. Excellent communication with the owners and check-in was super smooth. Appreciated that we could do laundry on site. Highly recommend!

The apartment was a perfect choice for our party of 4. (Two married couples) We had plenty of space to relax. The location is close to the city center, train, and bus line. It made it very easy to get to the sites we wanted to see. Giovanna was helpful and very responsive to messages.

Conveniently located. But on a busy street so expect road noise and the sounds of passers by. Should’ve read the listing more carefully. There is no elevator, so hauling bags up to the flat can be a workout.

Family flat

Let me start by saying that this flat has an amazing location! We were able to walk down stairs and go right to the tram system and hit all of the sights! It is in walking distance to many shops, dining, etc. The flat itself worked great for our quick stay. We needed bedrooms for everyone and bathrooms were key in organizing how fast we could get up and around to sight see! The hosting family goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome as well! Thank you!

Really Nice Flat Good Downtown Location

We had six adults and three children ages 5 to 10. Good sized flat so it worked for us. Location in New Town at the base of Calton Hill so lots of stuff close by. The one consideration is the pub across the way that is open very late (2 or 3 AM) with loud patrons outside. Muffled if you keep the windows closed. We’d stay again if we had a need for that many people.

Convenient location for good price

At first we were alarmed about the drab staircase and apartment was like a long narrow hallway but once we got into the living space and bedrooms everything looked nice and clean. The doors all self-close due to fire regulations but look around and you might be able to get creative. Ceilings nice and high and good view of the Playhouse theater. Location was good for the price - 15 min walk to Old Town. Owner, Giovanna was very responsive - she sent her husband the same morning that I mentioned the doors were squeaking (which led to us waking each other me up to go to the bathroom), and he took care of the problem. They own the restaurant downstairs - Giuliano’s and her husband was super nice and attentive to us when we went in for a light lunch. Worth checking out the restaurant btw as it was quite tasty. All in all for a City Apartment we have this 5 stars for the price and location, well supplied, clean and attentive owner. We have stayed in much nicer accommodations but those were all in the countryside - we would have had to pay a lot more to get a high end flat in Edinburgh so for its price tier, this home gets 5 stars.

Swiftie weekend in Edinburgh

The flat was in a perfect location for us. We flew into Edinburgh and took the tram into the city centre. It stopped a 2 minute walk from the flat. We arrived earlier than the check in time but having contacted Giovanna beforehand we were able to leave our bags in the restaurant below the flat and head off for some shopping. The check in process was very simple, we were sent a code to access the key box. The flat was very spacious and clean and had all the amenities we needed. We shall definitely return. Thank you Giovanna 😊

This property is perfect for anyone who enjoys the hustle and bustle of city life. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby (but be ready for nightlife noise) and it’s easy to walk to all the attractions in Edinburgh! The owner is lovely, easy to communicate with, and good at responding quickly. My friends and I had a wonderful time. Be ready to walk up several flights of steps with your luggage, but it’s worth it for the location and cleanliness of the property! Would stay there again!
