Service was excellent. Karen communicated with us first thing in the morning, all details for key collection etc was conveyed to us and arranged parking for us.

Product Feefo rating: double plus

The stairs leading up to the apartment are not for the faint hearted but the apartment is totally worth the effort.
Spacious, tastefully decorated, generous sized rooms and 3 bathrooms - it’s perfect for relaxing or unwinding after a long day!
My favourite spot was the comfy tweed chair in the kitchen that was made for reading, complete with reading light.
The mattress was comfortable and we all had 3 days of excellent sleep.
The kitchen was well equipped and again, very stylish.
Location wise, it was just on the edge of a very nice street, with lots of restaurants and shopping nearby, easy enough to pop out for a meal or coffee, best bit was that it was away from the very crowded, touristy area but still near enough to walk to those places.
I’m sure we will book to stay here again.

I will admit that the Staff did allow for an earlier Check-In, which was very much appreciated. There was little to no communication, however, once we were installed. I have rented before in Edinburgh, and it is pretty much the same thing. You mostly feel like you are on your own once there. I have never met or seen any of the staff associated with apartment rentals in Edinburgh.

Product Feefo rating: single plus

The Apartment is very nice with two full bedrooms w/bath, and one additional full bathroom. The kitchen is wonderful except that there was no coffee maker and the faucet dripped throughout the whole week. I did report the faucet and was told that a handy man was to come by to remedy. The Handy Man never came. The bathroom exhaust fans made loud noises so that, at night, we could not even turn on the light in the toilet due to the noise. We reported that as well, but no Handy Man.
Again, you will probably not find a nicer apartment, however, beware the stairs (70+). After a day of sightseeing, the stairs can present a serious challenge.
The location was great. There are a couple of nice breakfast places down the block. About a two-block walk puts you on Princess Street (main thoroughfare).
The apartment also comes with a parking slot should you rent a car. This was very handy as there is no parking in the area.
As for equipment, we never were able to negotiate the clothes dryer. Also, there must be some trick to operating the microwave properly, because we struggled trying to use it. The instructions left in the apartment were for another model.

Edinburgh rentals with parking are at a premium but the product is expensive in comparison to some. That said this apartment is very good however not excellent as the standard of cleaning prior to arrival could be much better.

The property was well advertised on the Edinburgh Address website. The photos and description were accurate - we found the apartment was just as described. There was a good range of high end properties to chose from.

We found that the Edinburgh Address is just a marketing website, so there was someone completely different to talk to in terms of gaining access to the property, housekeeping etc. The liaison between the property manager and the Edinburgh Address was 'clunky' which caused a bit of confusion and mixed messages about cleaning etc. It might help if the Edinburgh Address website makes it clearer that it's an Airbnb-type operation so, once the property is booked, all further communications should be direct with the property manager.

Product Feefo rating: double plus

The flat was in a superb location giving ready access to everything that Edinburgh has to offer. The shared areas (entrance hall and stairs etc) were well maintained to a high standard. It's very useful to have an allocated parking space in Edinburgh

The flat was very comfortably furnished and we loved staying there. The cooking equipment was slightly limited but we were staying there for four weeks so probably cooked at home more than the average visitor.

The three flights of stairs up to the flat were good exercise!

Dear guest,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. We are extremely grateful you had a positive booking experience with us and we hope to help you book again in the future.

We agree with you, the apartment is excellent and in a great location. Being a traditional Edinburgh top floor apartment, the stairs can be steep but I am glad that the quality of the apartment makes up for it.

We really appreciate your feedback as it helps our hosts deliver a better experience. The host was disappointed to hear after your stay that you had challenges with the heating, as she would have been able to help.
Remember you can contact your host or ourselves whenever you need assistance.

Thank you for being such great and caring guests. Wishing you all a great 2020 and hope to welcome you again soon.

All the best,

We had a couple of issues with the apartment because prior visitors had not informed the owners of some issues needing attention. We had a very supportive manager look after us and were very happy with the outcome. I would want to stay in this apartment on future visits to Edinburgh.

Product Feefo rating: single plus

The booking system works fine and all the info is clear to follow. However, a damage deposit is required to be paid and this amount comes off your credit card. For us travelling from the South Pacific we had to spend the five hundred pounds and then have it refunded after we left and no damage incurred. This costs exchange fees for each transaction and a loss on the deposit from the buy price at the bank being different to the sell price. Would like to see a block on the card like rental car companies do so not cost incurred unnecessarily.

Our response

Dear Neil,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review. We are really glad to hear you had an overall positive experience and pleased the host helped you during your stay. Thank you for the valuable feedback. I understand your point of view re damage deposit and big car rentals. We are working to improve this, although not so straight forward for a small business.

We hope you will stay with us again in the future, you have been great guests.

All the best,
Davide

Location & property were perfect for 2 couples visiting Edinburgh. The 5 flights of stairs were okay for us but could be challenging for anyone with major mobility issues or very heavy luggage. We loved our stay!

My wife and a friend visited Edinburgh for the weekend in early November.The flat is on the top floor of a grand Georgian house.The quality of the interior design,beds ,carpets, kitchen and all fittings were superior.This is obviously the home of well intentioned people.The check in was efficient and they gave us a bottle of Prosecco as well. This was a very comfortable flat and we would certainly stay here again. They had offered us this apartment in lieu of another which had had some rainwater damage.This was an upgrade and they charged us no more money,much appreciated.
