Exactly what we where looking for location and family to be together
Bathroom fan when ON was full of fluff and dirt. Only see it when running but very clean otherwise Mattresses in both rooms needed replacing as very old and sunken. !! Homeless people sleeping in door way off putting and hard to access accommodation maybe a gate to stop them getting on to entrance very off putting when putting in your code and incase they see it as this access your apartment also. Apartment main door very loose from lock could do with an extra lock inside to feel more comfortable and secure. Hotel rooms even have a locking mechanism on each door.

Having read the reviews knew to look for an entrance that wasn't huge. Basically a door between the Tesco Express (really handy for essentials) and the next property up. Easy instructions as to how to get into the property and the app was definitely worth downloading with all the info on it. We were on the 1st floor with great views of the castle but glad we only had to climb that one flight of stairs after a day of walking round Edinburgh. Couldn't have asked for a better location with Princes Street Gardens across the road and the castle and Haymarket within easy walking distance. Plenty of places to eat nearby. If you're staying on a Saturday morning make sure you visit the Farmers Market behind the castle, next to the NCP car park as they had some amazing food stalls but get there early as it was selling fast even at 9.30am.
There were a couple of small things - the property next door was being refurbished and the workmen were re-felting a roof next to our bedrooms so there was quite a bit of noise first thing but it helped to wake us up for the day and when we came back to the apartment on the final night we no longer had a view of the castle as scaffolding had been erected around the doorway and covered our windows. Luckily we'd had 2 nights of great views already.

The location could not be better, with views of the castle, to boot. Princes St is the main shopping thoroughfare so it was really central and we were able to walk everywhere - to the castle, galleries, Holyrood. But had we wanted it there were trams and buses outside our door and behind us were the lovely Georgian squares of Newtown, with the river Leith walks 5 minutes walk away. We walked with 2 big suitcases 10 minutes from the station straight along Princes St to the apartment - so easy. Our return journey required us to just cross the road to an AirPort Express bus stop!! The apartment was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. We cooked for ourselves and we had a Tesco supermarket downstairs!
There are no instructions as to how to use the washing machine/tumble dryer/dishwasher - so any environmental impact claims for the property disappear as we didn’t know how to put on a light load etc. Furthermore I wasted about 2 hours trying to get the dryer to work without putting the clothes through another wash. It required a combination of switches and the drying dial. When I contacted Destiny Scotland, - the property managers - they were very quick to respond but asked me if I had looked at the ‘drying dial’ which of course I had, but which did not work alone. They also sent in a maintenance person whilst we were out but a simple set of instructions in the flat for the lovely equipment would have saved us all time.

comfortable-nice interior one room could have done with sofa revamp but otherwise interior is lovely
the entrance is extremely off putting … rubbish /food /cigarette butts all around the entrance -it wouldn’t take much to brush this up each day It really let’s the lovely apartments down

Very clean. Spacious. Furnishings are of excellent quality. View from the window was beautiful. Location right in the city centre was superb. Right next to the park and the castle is within walking distance.
There is no lift and so not great if you have mobility issues. Strongly, the round door handles were difficult for us all to open the door, but particularly for my 80 year old mam who has arthritis in her hands. They look great but are not practical. Just a few finishing touches like grouting in the bathroom. Windows were a little drafty and hooks on shutters were not there. Consider curtains?

Size of kitchen, lounge and bathroom were considerably bigger than what we’ve experienced elsewhere in Europe. Washer and dryer very handy and shower was very large with good water pressure. Having a door code to enter also made it much easier than having to carry a door card, fob or key around too. The property is next door to a Tesco (very handy) along with the Johnnie Walker flagship store and its Michelin star restaurant.
I know I was aware of the stairs, but carrying three 23kg+ suitcases up and down wasn’t much fun. As mentioned, it is very clear there is no lift, but you hat would be better he only improvement I could think of at this accommodation.

Brilliant location on Princes Street. Literally just step out and everything is to hand. Cleverly laid out with all you need for a short stay. And fabulously comfy bed.
As with many town centre locations it can be a little noisy and while we were there the doorway was being used as a shelter for some less fortunate souls. Probably nothing can be done about it or I feel the owners would have addressed it, but it did concern us. We’re not sure if this would prevent us from booking again as we loved the apartment.

The prime location .. the view was wonderful! Clean large property with lovely high ceilings and modern decor throughout.. great sash windows allowing lots of light in! All amenities right on your doorstep!
The entrance stairs inside the building leading up to all the apartments smelt very musty.. we feel this needs resolving as could be very off putting, and just isn’t a nice welcome!! A lift would definitely make your stay easier as carrying cases up 3 flights of stairs can be a struggle.. or back and knee problems

Absolutely loved this apartment. Really homely, comfortable, modern and clean. It's in a great location with a fabulous view to Edinburgh Castle. It's on a main road, but the bedrooms are at the back so it was really quiet for sleeping. Easy entry via a door code and the management company are really responsive if you have any queries or issues. You can't stop outside to unload luggage as it's on the main road and tram line, but you can pull up around the corner and it's a very short walk to the apartment.
There are quite heavy self closing doors into each room. Not sure why. Maybe for heating, although there was a heater in the hallway. Would have been good if they could have been wedged open.

Superb location and view of the castle, easy walking to Royal Mile and attractions. Great size apt, well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed and pillows.
It was complicated to turn the cooktop on and then the front right one did not work at all. When I stacked the dishwasher after our first meal the large plates did not fit in the lower basket so I had to half empty it and then discovered that the plug in the kitchen sink does not seal.
