Wonderful
My friends and I were in town and were able to book our stay at this Vrbo. We really enjoyed ourselves in the city as well as in the apartment. It had everything we needed, even a hair dryer as a bonus (the little things) it was plenty spacey enough for the three of us and we were really happy. It was also really nice having a full kitchen with a small fridge and stove to cook on. The location had plenty of places to eat and drink and a few grocery stores/pharmacies on the street. Although it wasn’t in city center, it was such a short walk to get there. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Barry!

Everything you need
Great location close to main attractions of the city. Easy access to public transportation via short walk. Lots of restaurants, cafes and grocery nearby. Full laundry in apartment was a bonus to have. The place was tidy, however the high traffic touch areas on the walls and doors could use a deep cleaning. Overall a wonderful place to stay for our 5 days.

The apartment was perfect for my daughter & me.
The location, two separate bedrooms with comfortable big beds were a big plus. But best of all was the washer & DRYER! Most apartments I’ve rented have a washer, but no dryer. Only suggestion is to provide more towels. We’d stay here again if we return to Edinburgh.

Our Four-day Stay in Edinburgh
Being from the states, we forgot that the first floor overseas is NOT the ground floor. We had very heavy luggage and there is no lift. So we three 60+ women had to find a way to get it all up 27 steps! The apartment has wonderful beds! But there is no living room, as it appears in the pictures. The couch is in one of the bedrooms. The kitchen was adequate - we didn't do any cooking but there is a dishwasher and appliances to make tea and coffee. The bathroom is large, but I would recommend some kind of non-slip mat for the shower as the tub is very slippery. The washer/dryer worked well. There was a lot of graffiti outside the apartment, but once inside we felt safe. There was a lot of trash on the street outside the apartment so leaving the windows open wasn't an option. There was a Hop On/Hop Off bus stop right across the street, which was very convenient.

Decent flat in the theatre district
This is a nice flat with in walking distance of old and new town. Barry was prompt in responding to any questions before our stay. Self check in was a breeze and we were even allowed to check in early (for a fee). Which was worth it since we had an early arrival flight and could go directly to the flat with our luggage and relax for a bit before heading out for the afternoon. Our only disappointment was that we were hoping to use the kitchen facilities to cook breakfast daily and there was not a usable frying pan. We did use the oven once to heat up a pre made dinner. Be prepared to purchase a few extra supplies if you are planning on using the kitchen during your stay. The beds are very comfortable with down comforters that will keep you toasty warm. One thing to note if your not use to staying in the heart of a city is the pedestrian and street noise you will hear. The flat is near the corner of a busy road. It is not too bad, just something to note so you are aware you will not be staying in a quiet residential location. However that does mean there are lots of restaurants, shops, and theatres right around the corner.

Great location, clean, and bright.
We loved this location. Short walk to Edinburgh Castle and many other attractions, restaurants, and pubs on our list. We made good use of the wonderful kitchen facilities. Sleeping arrangements were great and this unit would have easily accommodated two couples. Nice bathroom. The washer and dryer were a plus. We would consider this unit on another trip to Edinburgh.

Convenient and Comfortable
The apartment is in a great location, close to restaurants and grocery stores. We were able to explore the city easily on foot. Enjoyed our visit immensely! Barry provided directions with photos, which made it easier to find the apartment. Without photos it would have been difficult. There was a self entry system, so we were able to arrive at our convenience. The apartment had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the apartment was clean. Would recommend.

Good and safe location, clean, good restaurants nearby
The apartment was exactly as advertised by VRBO. Everything worked. Right in Old Town but really close to the Royal Mile, numerous reasonably priced restaurants nearby. The unit is cramped for a family of five but we had no issues with the size except when we tried to eat together. Since we ate at local restaurants for lunch and dinner this was not a problem. We felt very safe and enjoyed the open windows at night to cool us off from our July visit. Plenty of hot water for all of us to shower in the morning or evening and nice clean towels. Highly recommend this location for proximity to Edinburgh Castle and all of the shops along the Royal Mile. Washer and Dryer stackable unit worked perfectly. The neighbors were quiet and we never saw them. It would be nice if the owner kept a book with local tips and recommendations for groceries and dining options. We used one of our iPhones with data to get ratings for local eateries paired with Trip Advisor reviews and were never disappointed. The Japanese restaurant right across the street from the unit was a favorite for all of us. Cobble stone streets are hard on luggage wheels so make sure your gear can handle some rough terrain. We never met the owner/agent but never needed to. The keys were left for us in a key safe on the door since we were late on our transfer train from Glasgow. Check out was very easy. Owner/agent did communicate via e-mail and text message with quick responses. Highly recommend for the price and location.

This apartment was wonderful in every way for our family of 4. Everything we needed was provided. It had the perfect location, as we were close to restaurants, stores, attractions, etc. that always felt safe and welcoming. Barry was easy to reach regarding check-in/check-out. It was a fabulous place to stay and make memories while in a beautiful city. We can't wait to stay again!

Rethinking VRBO
Although the appearance and amenities were great someone broke in to the flat using a key. The owner came to change the lock and was attentive. Flat was not in a bad neighborhood and it was very convenient but since this may become more common with VRBO I will not stay in one again.
