My husband and I recently visited the Forbes Residence for a 2 week working stay with our 8 month old son. It was an absolute dream. A stunning, homely, comfortable residence with ample space and every amenity. Mary who manages the property was lovely, helpful and incredibly responsive. The flat is perfectly located in a wonderful neighbourhood that is walking distance to everything including some fantastic local eateries. Can’t say enough good things, wish we lived there :)

We really enjoyed our stay. The flat was well taken care of and conveniently within walking distance of everything that Edinburgh has to offer.

Great facilities (although no microwave) in well equipped and spacious apartment that comfortably accommodated seven of us. Lovely welcome pack of essentials and some goodies was a very nice surprise.

We loved our stay at this fabulous apartment. The location is accurately described in the listing, very close to everything you might want to do. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds were comfortable. The apartment was professionally decorated, and was one of the nicest rentals I have stayed in. Please be advised, however, that there is NO off street parking. The only place to park is in a metered spaces in front of the unit, and the spaces are extremely limited. Fortunately, we arrived on Friday and It is free to park there on Saturday and Sunday. So we only had to pay for Friday afternoon and Monday morning. Very expensive metered parking.

Home was beautiful, very comfortable and an easy walk to everything from restaurants & bars to shopping & old town

Seven of us — ages 12-84 — stayed in the flat. We had a wonderful time. The flat itself has everything you need and is very well appointed. The pictures are accurate. We found the flat to be more spacious than we expected and very comfortable. The furnishings are all well maintained and comfortable. A lovely welcome basket was given to us — the fresh loaf of delicious bread was a hit with everyone. The flat is in a quiet area and is peaceful. There is a playground just around the corner. Restaurants are plentiful and nearby. There are several grocery shopping options nearby too. To get around, we did a mix of walking & taxi. It is hilly so if you plan on walking principally have good walking shoes. I walked up to the royal mile and all around the Old Town area. City Taxi provided good on time service. One day we rented a car from the rental place down the street and explored Scotland outside Edinburgh. You definitely do not need a car in this area. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Previous reviews and pictures accurately portray apartment. It is spacious, well furnished, w responsive owners/staff. We would stay again.

The Forbes HOME is a grand, warm, very well decorated and finely appointed home that is greatfully shared with travelers to the grand city of Edinburgh. Our family of eight loved it!

We loved staying at this beautifully decorated flat that felt immediately like home.

We stayed for a week in July during the festival. The apartment is beautiful, full of light and spacious, located on a quiet street in central Edinburgh, walking distance from the old town, museums, botanical gardens and main street. The apartment is perfect for a large family or two small ones with 4 comfortable bedrooms ( soft cotton bed linen, down and feather pillows and duvets!) and a large living room where we played games, did yoga and relaxed. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances needed to cook and dine. We also enjoyed several restaurants close to the apartment. Hannah, the owner, met us personally and kindly offered to help us with reservations. She recommended the silent dancing tour which was fantastic!
