Dejlig rummelig lejlighed, venligt personale, vildt god beliggenhed
Pros:

Perfekt placering

Cons:

Det var svært at regulere temperaturen i lejligheden- det var for koldt eller meget varmt!
Wifi var elendigt

Excellent well appointed apartment in central area.
Pros:

The locarion was excellent in terms of being very central, close to a rnage of excellent coffee shops and restaurants, transport and main tourist attractions.
Bonus that there was a lift to upper floors (only one set of steps from reception) which saved carrying suitcases.
Only downside to the location was that at the weekend there was quite a lot of noise outside - despite the secondary glazing we heard people in the early hours presumably leaving pubs or clubs whatever.

Cons:

Nothing.

Maravillosa
Pros:

El alojamiento fue excepcional y superó nuestras expectativas. Es amplio, muy cómodo y exactamente tal y como aparece en las fotos. La cocina está totalmente equipada con horno, lavavajillas, lavadora y microondas, además de pequeños detalles muy cuidados como una caja con infusiones y cafés. El salón cuenta con Smart TV y la habitación también dispone de televisor, lo que hace la estancia aún más agradable.
La ubicación es perfecta: céntrica y a solo 2 minutos de Princes Street, una de las principales calles de la ciudad. Sin duda, un alojamiento muy recomendable al que volveríamos encantados.

I had a lovely overnight stay with family but would have happily stayed here for the whole week
Pros:

The apartment is in a fantastic location on a quiet street minutes from lots of nice bars and restaurants. Check in is super easy with keyless access, which is great for groups to come and go independently. The apartment is clean, comfortable and well equipped. There was plenty of tea and coffee and a pint of fresh milk was provided. We found it to be very quiet during our stay.

Cons:

There are a few steps up to the front entrance of the building and a few more in the reception area before the lift, which might be an issue for anyone with mobility issues.

Overall, we were happy with our stay.
Pros:

It was a large apartment, just as shown in the picture, and very comfortable for a family of six. However, we did like the location.

Cons:

One of the shower had mold and glass door wasn’t working properly, and the shower with curtain not working properly, causing water leak out. Additionally, there were not enough dishes or plates provided for family of six.

Pros:

Ottima posizione nella New Town, circondata da buoni ristoranti e caffè per la colazione, vicina a Prince Street. Il centro si piò raggiungere facilmente. L'appartamento era grande, silenzioso, e il doppio bagno è molto comodo
