What a perfect little hide away in the city centre of Edinburgh! We really liked staying in this perfect romantic apartment for two. A comfy bed, good climate control, great kitchen with oven and a bathroom with luxury shampoo and bath. We had quiet nights and explored the city on foot from the apartment. Definitely recommend this place!

Our room was clean and completely ready when we arrived. We had everything we needed, including capsules for the washing machine & dishwasher. The building is located very close to Haymarket and West End tram stations and only a 20-minute walk away from most attractions in Edinburgh, making its location very convenient. Overall, we were very happy with our accommodation at the facility.
