Great house with thoughtful hosts
We had a wonderful stay at this house. He bedrooms were comfortable and it was great to have our own bathrooms too. Spacious kitchen/living/dining and a lovely touch to have some pantry staples available too. Easy check in process. Very good location close to Arthur’s Seat and easy walk into town.

Top notch holiday accommodation
This Edinburgh property is probably the best holiday home I've ever stayed in. Set over four floors, it was spacious for three adults and three children. Two living rooms, big kitchen and dining room. Large bedrooms with ensuites. And what a view out to Albert's Seat! Centrally located - we walked into town past Holyrood Palace, Scottish Parliament and up the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle in an easy stroll. Free off-street parking too. It really is a lovely, well appointed property. Surpassed my expectations. Many thanks Mike and Cheryl!

This house was so clean and spacious. Every floor is thoughtful with a guest in mind. The beds are super comfortable and the neighborhood is not only quiet but so close to where you want to be. This is the perfect place to stay and we will definitely be requesting it upon our return to Edinburgh!

Our home in Edinburgh
The home was beautiful, well appointed, and very well maintained. The owner provided very helpful instructions on how to work the appliances, heating, and how to be at home. We loved that Holyrood park was right out back. We canceled a tour so that we could walk the park and hike to Author's seat. It's also quiet: It's away from crowds but close to where you want to be. We walked into old Edinburgh through the park and then onto the Royal mile (passing Holyrood palace). We loved Edinburgh and will plan to come back and explore more of this city and hope to stay here again.

Perfect location, house, host (will return)
Perfect location (no tourist, walk to anything one wants). Perfect house, four floors for family and friends to spread out across. For queer folk, super nice queer-bar 15-minute walk away (seriously friendly and welcomining). Host was amazing (responding in minutes or hours to every question or request). Exceeded every possible expectation. Will come back to this house/host on our next visit. And if not available on the dates we ask.... we're so keen, that we'll just change our travel dates so as to benefit from this lovely house. Close to parks, groceries, attractions, UBER, Arthur's Seat, queer-bar.

Scotland Christmas Vacation
My family, my husband, 2 adult children and myself had a very enjoyable time at this property. There was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy spending time in the city as well as downtime. The weather was cold and rainy and the fireplace made our stay warm and inviting. We had a couple of questions due to our itinerary and response was quick from the host and very helpful. If we visit Edinburgh again, I will definitely check this property first for availability.

Fabulous property!
A great house for friends or family groups. It's very spacious and has everything needed for your stay.(very generous amounts of toilet paper, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets etc) The location is great as it's within reach, by foot, of the city centre, yet on the outskirts which makes it peaceful. The views of Salisbury Crags from the balconies are stunning. And the access to Arthurs Seat is just a short stroll across Holyrood Park which is behind the house. There is a large supermarket 5 mins drive away and some lovely pubs just a short taxi ride away. A great place to stay in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.

Great location and flexible property
This is a great property - everywhere in Edinburgh is walkable. The layout is also really good - we were able to accommodate friends and family across the multiple floors. Really clean and with great views it was a perfect retreat after a busy day in the City. Thoroughly recommend it.

Amazing Property So Close To Everything
This was our first trip to Scotland and I wanted a nice spacious place for my husband and I, two kids as well as my dad to stay. We had a lot jam packed things to do during our stay so it was important that we felt at home somewhere, could rest after a long day and could access everything easily. My kids each had their own room and my father had a private area on the first floor which was perfect. I can not say enough about the view. To sit on the patio each morning/night and look out at Arthur's Seat was priceless. We walked to Arthur's Seat several times. We also walked to most of our attractions in Edinburgh which was so nice. Our host Mike was so accommodating and responsive. He thought of everything when it came to making us feel at home. I am so glad we chose to stay here and would recommend this property to anyone.

I absolutely recommend this lovely house. Communication with the owners was great. Very friendly and helpful. Location is incredible. We were able to walk to Arthur’s seat, Holyrood Palace, the Royal Mile/Edinburgh castle and the train station all while pushing two kids on a stroller. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house had all we needed.
