“The good points of this flat were it's location within walking distance to the city centre and the Grassmarket. Great shower, nice bedrooms and sitting/dining area.
Downside was the 3 flights of stairs. The toilet was small but adequate.”
“Great apartment in a convenient location. The apartment has everything that you could want and was very cozy and welcoming after a long day of sightseeing.
We actually had to book the apartment very last minute (the same day as check-in) due to complications with our other booking and the staff at Edinburgh-Flats and the landlord were extremely helpful and accommodating!
Would definitely recommend this flat and Edinburgh-Flats to friends!!!”
“The apartment was very good, just a couple of minor complaints. There was no tin opener in kitchen utensil drawer, the mirrow in the en suite bathroon is pretty useless to anyone under six foot tall - needs to be lowered.”
“Liked the flat which is more like a house with a garden! Lovely welcome with fresh stuff in the fridge. A bit of a distance to the city but handy for airport-taxi-connection. Bicycles need optimizing. Weather, as well!
Would go back!”
“This was our first taste of apartment rental in Edinburgh, usually opting to stay in hotels so we were a little surprised by the deposit request but as soon as we arrived in the apartment it was clear that this was a beautiful felt and a "cut above" the norm.
After a friendly welcome from the owner we settled in and found that we really did have everything we needed in the flat, and also right on the doorstep with great delis, restaurants and cafes right outside. Happily, the apartment is just off the main road so we weren't aware of street noise etc.
In summary, a great apartment in a great location giving you plenty of opportunity to explore a great city.”
“Very comfortable 2 bedroom apartment with all you need for a good stay. Perfectly located for the sights, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and transport.”
“The flat was very comfortable, the owner has clearly thought of everything to ensure that the people staying really want for nothing.
Pleasantly surprised about the parking - usually this close to the city parking is near impossible so to find somewhere like this, well it's a real gem
Bus services are excellent, less than 10 minutes walk and you have the choice of 4 different bus services going to different parts of town
The flat is ideally placed as a base to explore the rest of the lowland areas
All in all we had a wonderful holiday and I thoroughly recommend this apartment, I would have no second thoughts about staying here again. Big thumbs up :)”
“The best thing about this flat is the location - right bang in the middle of the old town and walking distance to a lot of the key attractions you may wish to visit. The flat has lots of character, and typical of the character of a lot of the buildings in the area. The only negatives are the accessibility - with no lift and a windy spiral staircase, getting the suitcase up the stairs is a challenge. The challenges of the stairs needs to be made clearer to people with disabilities. Also, Friday and Saturday night it is very noisy, the nature of the apartment building probably means that double glazing may ot be permitted perhaps? the result it that this is not the flat to choose if you are looking for a very peaceful stay.
However this is a great apartment if you want somewhere atmospheric, with fantastic access to the city. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay.”
“The flat is really nice, quite and very clean. The lady taking care of the flat (and of us!) has been really nice as well. The position is really good, quite close to the city centre but very quite! Highly recommended”
“We had a week=long stay at 4 Northumberland Place, Edinburgh, and cannot say too much about this beautiful, homely property. The decor is well-considered and attractive throughout; the rooms are spacious and airy; and the whole place is perfectly clean, with everything one might need, in terms of kitchen and creature comforts. We were greeted warmly, and all our communications were responded to promptly. My partner and I were holidaying with elderly relatives, whose train came in at mid-day. My inquiry as to whether we might gain entrance to the property somewhat earlier than is usual was met with friendliness and I was made to feel it was no problem. Highly recommended.”
“Our stay at this apartment was very comfortable and proved an excellent base for exploring the city. We discovered the No.35 bus in particular took us into and back from the historic city centre from almost outside the door. Our hosts, Bill and Margaret, couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful which helped make our stay even more pleasurable. I'm now recovering from walking round Edinburgh; the castle, museum, gardens and Royal Mile with my two young grandchildren - a most enjoyable if exhausting visit and look forward to returning sometime soon!”
“really pleased with this apartment. very comfortable beds and sofas;great shower, all very clean. location near to restaurants, bars and castle ideal for our weekend in Edinburgh. Would stay in this apartment again.”
“This is a great wee house (bigger in reality than it looks in the photos)in an almost perfect location - central (just behind Charlotte Square and you can see West Register House out the window) with easy access to everywhere but incredibly quiet. Lots of nice touches and a real home feeling. To add the final flourish, there's a lovely wee patio garden (think there's a mini christmas tree in it) which is perfect for having a glass of wine and/or meal in at the end of the day - it has to be said that the weather in the second week (25degrees)we were there was better than in the first (freezing and raining)! Fiona and Calum are brilliant! Can thoroughly recommend to anyone.”
“excellent value for money
good location
really nice to have some groceries/wine in the house on arrival
very clean and well presented property
would thoroughly recommend a stay here!!”
“Myself and two friends stayed here during the Fringe last August. The apartment is an easy 15 minute walk from the city centre.
The apartment was spotless and had every necessary amenity.
The owners had also left tea, coffee, milk and biscuits, which was a really kind touch.
We would all stay here again.”
“We stayed here during the 2012 Fringe. The flat was well decorated, lovely and clean and well equiped. It's location is only a 30 minute walk from the main centre and there is a large Tesco's also in walking distance. We hope to return to the Fringe again and would certainly checkout the availability of this flat.”
“My friends and I stayed here during the Fringe Festival and were delighted to be 5-10 minutes from all the main venues we were going to. This flat is just off a main road with plenty of shops nearby for food etc. It's clean, modern, spacious enough and ideal for a festival stay - with lots of home touches inside. We were left with some basics of tea/coffee/biscuits and had great contact with our meeter who was very helpful. Very happy with this stay and would definately use again.”
