Location was unreal! Really clean apartment with everything you need.
I didn't like the fact the property says children stay free but then contact once the booking is locked in and ask you to pay £15 per night for bed linen!!!! Children absolutely do not stay free! They stay for an additional £15 per night... Just advertise this! Definitely not a good look!

Best location at good price! Close to everything, clean and spacious! Would stay here again! Just ordered the soap they had in the bathrooms!
Can’t say anything bad about the property, I just loved it!

fantastic location and nice clean tidy apartment. We could pop back to it between shows for breaks. Compact but had everything we needed.
Very noisy at night with the aircon units from neighbouring building outside the window and noise late at night in the street outside, but expected during August. Personal thing but bedding was too synthetic. Usually bring my own if I think it won't be 100% cotton.

The two-bedroom apartment with a lovely balcony, kitchen and living room area was the perfect size and arrangement for our group. We did not use the kitchen except for toast in the morning, but it looked like the kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware, pots and pans etc. It was a bonus that there is a combination washer/dryer in the kitchen and the instructions were easy to follow. This came in handy to do a bit of laundry since we had been traveling around the UK for 11 days before we arrived for our stay in Edinburgh. The location was ideal. Right on the Royal mile, but just far enough from the Castle to not be impacted by noise from the Military Tattoo and Fringe. Most every fringe venue was less than 15-minute walk from the apartment, most about 5-7 minutes. Destiny Scott is very prompt in responding to email questions. It is also only a couple of blocks from the Waverly train station to the apartment.
It was challenging to find the location. We used the coordinates and the address from the confirmation and were still very confused on where the entrance was to get to the apartment. It would be helpful in the confirmation to note that the entrance is an iron gate at Bishop's Close right next to the (Mitre) Bar. Also, we were unclear whether the code we would receive for the apt. worked for the gate and the elevator as well as the apt. door. (It does)

There was ongoing, daily jackhammering immediately adjacent to the property. This is something that we should have been notified of in advance as it has been ongoing for a long time. When I asked for a rate reduction due to our inability to stay there from 8am to 5:30pm, I was told that it was not their obligation to notify us.

Lovely apartment in a fabulous location The Royal Mile right on your doorstep Absolutely no noise from the very central location which is so surprising as there is a very popular pub next door You even get a glimpse of sea with the firth of forth view outside your windows
The bedroom was very small Lovely spacious bed and bedside tables but no room for any suitcases It was a real struggle getting to the window side of the bed Luckily the adjacent sitting room doubled as storage and dressing room and the kitchen/dining area became our main living area The bathroom fan was very noisy but nothing that can’t be fixed

Liked having cellphone number be the entry code, easy to remember. Kitchen had nice assortment of plates, glasses etc. The location is superb, with only minor (drunken) noise from the Radisson Blu across the street at times. Quiet inside did not hear much from surrounding apartments.
The clothes washer/dryer took several hours to operate - the drying part of it did not heat up for the first hour following wash cycle and then barely did, which turned into a 2 a-m task before it was finally done. Could have used more coffee (or at least a note saying where we could buy some). Actually, any guidance about nearby grocery shops, especially ones open late or 24-hours, would have been helpful. We did find a couple nearby but not until we were nearly ready to leave. Also info about nearby restaurants would help, but these are minor things. Thermostat took some figuring out as well.

The location was excellent, opening directly onto the Royal Mile. It was easy to walk to all of the main attractions, even if Edinburgh is much hillier than I thought! There are plenty of good bars and restaurants nearby. The apartment itself is very spacious, very clean, modern, well-equipped and comfortable. There is good wifi but signal strenghth struggled in parts of the apartment.
One minor quibble - ventilation could be a little better - it was impossible to open some of the bathroom windows and hence there was a small damp smell in the main bedroom.
