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.

Scotland Vacation
Perfect for 6 adults and 21 month old. Enough room for everybody to have alone time if needed. Views were spectacular. Easy to get to down town Edinburgh. Hop on hop off bus tour was great. Everyone raved about all amenities. We would rent again.

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.

A Real Gem
As a group we were overwhelmed by the spacious accommodations, the relative distance (short) from all of our intended attractions in Edinburgh, but more than anything the extreme comfort and gorgeous views provided by the residence.
