    Cozy apartment with a fireplace where I could pretend to be fancy. The washing machine was a bonus, because laundry is just so much fun. And the soundproofing. well, let's just say I got to hear all the charming street conversations.

    Oh, the shower curtain! It desperately needed a replacement.

    The location was fantastic, close to the train station and within walking distance of bars, restaurants, and the old town attractions. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. Ideal for a young couple exploring the city.

    Felt very relaxed, no complaints.

    The Charming Apartment in the Old Town was absolutely delightful! The cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home. The bedroom was comfortable, and the flat-screen TV in the living room was perfect for relaxing and watching my favorite shows. The dining area was great for enjoying meals, and the kitchen had everything I needed. Plus, having a washing machine was a convenient bonus. it was a wonderful experience!

    Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the flat-screen TV. But that's just my preference, others might still enjoy it.

    This charming apartment has plenty of character, with a comfortable bed and all necessary amenities. The warm welcome from Harry was appreciated, and any issues, such as a bathroom sink blockage, were quickly resolved. The location is excellent, near the train station and with a Tesco express nearby. It's perfect for exploring the old town, with great areas like Grassmarket and the Royal Mile close by. Holyrood park is also beautiful.

    Nothing to mention.

    The location of the apartment in the heart of the old town is fantastic. It is close to popular tourist attractions such as the Royal Mile and the Grassmarket area. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby for young holiday goers to enjoy. the apartment itself is clean and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.

    The noise level in and around the apartment can be quite intolerable at times. the noise from people walking past the front and the bars/restaurants emptying can be disruptive, especially during the late hours.

    Great value for money, cozy apartment with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living/dining room. The location on a quiet side alley in the historic center was fantastic, within walking distance of cafés, bars, and restaurants. The host, Linda, provided a warm and welcoming experience with helpful video messages.

    The breakfast selection could be improved.

    We had a fantastic stay at the charming apartment. It had plenty of character and was immaculately clean. the comfortable bed ensured a good night's sleep, and the location was perfect for exploring the old town. the nearby Grassmarket area was lively with great bars and restaurants, and the Royal Mile offered plenty to see and do. We also appreciated the warm welcome from Harry and the quick resolution of a bathroom sink issue by the handyman.

    A great experience with everything we needed provided.

    The apartment was adorable and had a cozy feel to it. It was compact but had all the necessary amenities. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the historic center and within walking distance of cafes, bars, and restaurants. Additionally, there were fringe comedy performances just around the corner, making it a great spot for entertainment.

    The noise was quite intolerable. We were warned that there might be some noise, but we never expected it to be this bad.

    The old town apartment had such a cozy and charming vibe. The bedroom was comfortable, and the flat-screen TV was a nice touch. The kitchen and living room were great for relaxing after a long day of exploring. I felt right at home.

    Personally, I would have liked a larger dining area, but others might not mind.

    We had such a cozy and comfortable stay at this apartment in the Old Town. It was perfect for our first trip with our baby, and the host, Linda, went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the university and surrounded by charming side alleys. The kitchen was well-equipped and the living room was cozy, with a beautiful blue sofa. Despite a few minor issues like separate hot and cold taps in the bathroom and a slightly noisy neighborhood, we would definitely recommend this apartment for young couples or friends who want to enjoy the city.
