    Amazing wonderful management team. I would stay again just to enjoy being their guest!

    The property management staff are top notch! They took excellent care of us. They were very responsive and super helpful. We had a problem with our checkout (we left a few things behind which we needed shipped to us at our next destination). They were really and truly phenomenally helpful. I give them an 11 out of 10 for their amazing help! The property location is amazing. Perfectly positioned for all the things we wanted to do. We would stay there again.

    Rental units in Edinburgh are expensive. There is just no way around it. This particular unit is fine. Floors and surfaces were clean and neat and it was well equipped for what we needed. The shower experience was not great but also consistent with many UK properties. Thank goodness they have tankless water heater so at least we didn't run out of hot water when the family all had turns showering. There is street noise as it IS a city so if staying here you should expect that. We did and we got just what we expected.
