The apparent was listed as luxury, but it's not luxury. I would say it's very good. You its very close to the castle and everything. Yes, it is very clean and well equipped. But it is very noisy with a lot of drunk students. It was very nice and local to everything.

I really don't know where to start. The service was fantastic. Eddie was so helpful from the moment I booked the apartment. We arrived earlier than the usual check in time but he said it was no problem to get it ready early for us.

We spent two nights in Edinburgh on our road trip around Scotland. This apartment was very modern and well equipped on the 1st floor of the block that has a lift which serves the ground floor and underground car park, so moving luggage etc was easy. We had pre booked the car park which I advise for peace of mind. Very good welcome from the representative who we'd spoken to earlier to share our arrival time and who handed over the keys and showed us around the accommodation. The location was perfect, barely 10 mins walk to the Royal Mile where we went onto the castle and then strolled down to Holyrood House before taking a welcome taxi (very helpful friendly driver) back up to see Grey Friars Bobby. Look out too for the Elephant House cafe - birth place of Harry Potter. For an apartment so well equipped and so central it was excellent value for money. Very convenient Sainsbury's literally round the corner to us too. Thank you for a smashing stay!

This apartment was an excellent area with lots of conveniences. The neighborhood was filled with college students and foreign travelers. It was only a 10 min. walk to the Royal Mile and 5 min. walk to many great restaurants/pubs. There was a Starbucks and grocery store in the next building. The kitchen is well equipped. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. The owner and manager were very friendly and responsive. Here are a few drawbacks to be aware (this may matter to you or not): First, beginning at 6:30am, the grocery store deliveries begin and you hear loud carts, trucks, voices...impossible to sleep. The area construction starts about 7:00am adding to the noise. The shades do not block out the light, so as long as you like to wake up early, no problem. If you like to sleep in past 6:30am, you will be annoyed. Secondly, be aware there are some homeless and routy, drunk young people in the area as you walk back to your apt. from the heart of Edinburgh. We just avoided them. One night a drunk came between the buildings, loudly singing at the top of his lungs at 3:30 am. Being on the first floor (one floor up from the side walk), it's busy location with a Starbucks and a grocery store beneath your window. Additionally, there is no plug (except for a shaver) in the bathroom (no big deal if you are a man). If you want to blow dry and style your hair, you will need to do so in the living room in the reflection of the clock. Arrg. Third, each room is separated by a fire door that needs to be propped open with a door stopper. Countless times these doors slam shut loudly. The apartment seems smaller than the picture shows and you will need to lay out your suitcases in the living room. Finally, you are only given one set of keys. This was inconvenient since my husband and I went off and did a few things separately (we traveled with another couple who stayed at the Marriott next door). We were constantly wishing we had a second key to the room. Again, maybe this doesn't matter to you. These were a few things I'd wished I'd know ahead of time. All in all, it was a good experience and perhaps the location makes up for these small annoyances.

I cannot recommend these apartments enough. December last year me and my boyfriend went to Edinburgh on holiday and it was the most fun we have ever had. When we came in to the apartments, it was incredibly clean and tidy. The views made me speechless and at nights we couldn't hear any noise! The beds are super comfortable and don't get too hot or too cold. The kitchen is so modern and nice I want the exact same kitchen in my house! The tv was great and the wifi worked wonders. I literally have no complaints at all. It is in the best place; short walk to the town, short walk to Arthurs seat and across from the beautiful meadows. I will definitely be back bringing my family and telling everyone about how amazing it is!

Situated on edge of old city, close to university. Very clean, modern, secure and well appointed apartment. Helpful host. Easy walk into old town. Suggest taxi from station unless travelling light and like approx. 2 km walk.

We stayed here for 4 nights and would highly recommend the apartment to anyone wanting a convenient and easy place to stay. Eddie was very welcoming and professional, the apartment was very clean and tidy on our arrival and parking was easy and convenient- very useful in central Edinburgh!

Flat 7, 12 Simpson loan First the flat, lovely, bright, clean, comfortable and warm. Plenty of cutlery, utensils, good oven and a truly refreshing shower - one of those that pours water from holes in the ceiling - very chic! Bed was comfy as was the flat in general. Location - for access to the shopping centres, tourist sites, grass market and Cowgate, I'm not sure you could get better, literally only a 10 minute walk to the Royal mile, bang in the centre of tourist Edinburgh. The management company provided good communication, key handover was very easy and easy parking nearby. Now for the downside - the building works, oh the building works, the Quatermile has been having building works for some time and is not due to be finished, by the looks of things any time soon) - info came from my cousin an Edinbrough resident. They are building new buildings and renovating old, the work starts at 7am Monday to Saturday at least they were on the Saturday we were there, and finishes around 6pm. A lot quieter after that, only road noise and people walking and talking as they go by and, as you're on the first floor, if the window is open you can hear every word of what they are saying. Now as I say the apartment was warm, for me a touch too warm , so opened the bedroom window, unfortunately the window is just over the gate down to the meadows or the front/other end of the building, this gate slams, creaks, grinds and crunches as it opens and slams shut and appears to be well used at all times of the day and night. If the window is shut all was quiet. Now I know the building works, passers by, pedestrians and cars etc are not the fault of this apartment owners, but the photos on booking.com and the descriptions say nothing about building works, which I feel is a little disingenuous. Building work was mentioned in an email, but only to say it shouldn't bother me and that it was 'ongoing', perhaps somewhat of a little understatement. Which is why I've knocked a star off, once the work is done or if you stay at the side facing the meadows, it would be much quieter - although less to look at! the noise was a nuisance but copable with as long as windows shut during the day and early morning, Sunday was nice and quiet, but still some work going on. We weren't in the flat much during the day, so really the only problem was first thing, but again if you are an early riser or want to squeeze the most out of your stay in Edinburgh, it probably wouldn't be too much of an issue.

Spent 3 days in Edinburgh celebrating a very special birthday and wow... this apartment was the icing on the cake. The apartment is of a high standard, very modern but very comfortable, we could not have asked for more. There was even some basic cupboard staples which is a lovely finishing touch. The apartment is in a fantastic location, about a 10 minute walk to all the major tourist attractions. We will definitely stay again.

The flat is very modern with a "minimalist" feel to it, but well equipped with very good quality appliances and comfortable furnishings. It was warm and cosy in the evenings but bright during the day with floor to ceiling windows in the lounge and bedroom, although to be clear the latter has opaque glass for privacy. The lift takes you to the ground floor or underground car park - rare convenience in the centre of Edinburgh! In the next block there is a Sainsburys open late along with Starbucks or if you prefer an independent coffee shop come book shop - didn't have time, but that looked really nice :-) Turn right and you're in The Meadows, turn left and within 5 minutes you're on Lauriston Place by Bristol Square - ideal for Edinburgh Uni. Overall a lovely flat in a very good location. A very minor downside was the loading/unloading early in the morning as Sainsburys had its daily deliveries, making quite a bit if noise opposite the bedroom window. Not great if you're a light sleeper or go to bed late! Probably would not put us off returning though.
