My first impression after walking through the door was "wow". The flat was much bigger than I thought, the pictures didn't do the size or the quality the justice it deserved. The sofas are now brown leather and sitting in front of the fireplace in the evening was fantastic.
We stayed mid January, so it was freezing but we were warm and toasty inside. The only downside is that one of the rooms (blue) was a little cold, but I moved one of the electric heaters in there and all was fine.
Location was bang in the center of the city, a fantastic location and an easy walk to get anywhere.
Overall a top experience, 9.5/10 and a highly recommended flat.

I stayed in this apartment over the Christmas holiday with my husband and our two adult daughters. The apartment is beautifully maintained, clean, nicely furnished and well laid out. With three women in our group we certainly would have welcomed more towels, but other than that we had everything we needed for our stay. Additionally, there were two grocery stores very close for any supplies we needed. Don't be put off by the entrance of the apartment building, its a little rough and ill-kept, could use a sweep and wash - but we found it to be very safe. I also think our greeter was a bit defensive about the curb appeal and address, this apartment is actually Blair St. 13, as his greeting was a bit rough as if he expected us to complain. Other than that, our stay was wonderful and we were very happy with our choice.

This is the second year that we stayed in this apartment to visit the Edinburgh Fringe, so we are obviously happy with the place and its location. This year the lounge sported new leather settees, very swish and nice to see a well decorated and appointed apartment being improved and updated.
Given its central location it is very quiet and we were able to get excellent nights sleep to be ready for the enjoyable rigours of the festival.
Highly recommend this apartment to small groups/families who want easy access to the city and a good nights sleep.

I tried to book this property. Availability said all requested dates were available, but when contact was made the owners said it wasn't available.
4 days later it still shows as available.
Should be removed or corrected
