Guestbook reviews

After a long and delayed flight from the US we took the bus from Edinburgh airport and got off at Waverly station. The tram may have been a better choice as both St Andrew’s Sq and Picardy place were close on the tram. We walked down Albany St past the beautiful Georgian row houses. We arrived at the flat and down the stone stairs to the small patio which looked more expansive on the photos but was not usable with the ambient weather we had. We opened the door and disabled the alarm with the clear instructions. Inside the 2 bedrooms were comfortable one with en suite and one with bath down the hall. The living and dining areas were well appointed as was the kitchen. The heating plant was good and the place was always comfortable. The host was accessible and replied to our questions. The best asset of the place was its location. There were numerous restaurants and shops in the area, the highlight of which was The Magnum, an upscale bar/restaurant at the end of the block with fantastic sticky toffee pudding a popular dessert. Overall, the experience was excellent and we relished the quietness of the block after the touristy bustle of the Royal Mile. We hated to leave!

Public review
The Albany St basement flat was very spacious, comfortable + well equipped and within walking distance of central Edinburgh attractions. Fab stay and we got to meet the host during our stay, who was very pleasant.

Private note from Mark
Hi Emma and nice meeting you - great stay at the basement flat, appreciated. Your now my first choice location for any future visits to Edinburgh. Like some of your previous guests we set the alarm off on our initial entry, so maybe the timer needs to be delayed a little more. Very best wishes - Mark & Christine

Beautiful historic flat in ideally located part of Edinburgh. Within walking distance of all major attractions. Host was extremely helpful and responsive. We had an amazing time and this was the perfect place to stay.

We had to stay here last minute because of a flight cancellation, but I would definitely recommend this place to parties of 3-5. The location is really great and the flat is comfortable and spacious.

The apartment is large, clean and comfortable. There is a large gas stove where you can prepare various dishes and the kitchen is well equipped. There is a television in every bedroom and in the living room. Communication was uncomplicated. Someone came over on the first evening to make sure it wasn't raining in the apartment. Turning off the alarm system requires speed. All in all, the apartment is recommended for a family of five.

Lovely spacious apartment, a little chilly as very few radiators in large rooms. Cleaning could have been a little better but was ok. TV was broken in the triple room but didn’t affect us. Very noisy people in apartment above, not sure if they lived there or were holiday makers. Fab location for exploring Edinburgh so overall quite happy with the apartment.

Very spacious basement flat, clean and well fitted-out and with surprisingly good natural light. Great amenities - big kitchen, wifi, laundry, bathrooms. Groceries (fancy delis and Tescos Metro), lunch and dinner spots and coffee shops are all on the doorstep. The Old Town is 10mins walk and you can get down to the waterfront on the old railway cycle paths. The main bedroom is huge with en suite while the second bedroom is cosier with a double and a single. Nb the outdoor space in the photo is outside the front door not at the back. We definitely recommend this flat.

Very nice flat in a really convenient New Town location. The beds and baths were comfy and well outfitted. The washer and dryer were especially handy, and the kitchen “skylight” is super cool! Would definitely recommend!

Lovely clean and central accommodation in Edinburgh
The flat was beautifully furnished and more spacious than we expected.
No complaints- the only comment would be that it would have been nice to have a little more tea and coffee available. Two tea bags and two coffee sachets wasn't much
