ANNANDALE STREET - CITY CENTRE
Stayed September 2014
Alison: We had a great stay in this property. It was very clean and tidy. It was very nice that there were toiletries provided and the kitchen cupboards had basic foodstuffs e.g. salt, pepper, tea , coffee , milk, oil as well as useful items such as washing up liquid. The location was excellent with easy access by foot or on the bus to the centre of Edinburgh. Also very nearby excellent places to eat and useful shops - Tesco Local, Post Office and bakery. Our host met us at the property within a couple of minutes of our arrival and gave us a quick tour round the property. He recommended "Cafe Marlayne" five minutes from the flat. We ate there and thought the food was excellent and service was great. When we visit Edinburgh again we will not hesitate to stay here again. The parking next to them the flat was very useful because we had planned a day trip outside Edinburgh.The House Trip experience is very relaxed.

Claude: Hello, the apartment is very clean with all necessary amenities and is very well located: In the city center but in a fairly quiet street to rest well, just a few kilometers from the beautiful beach of Portobello (about 5 minutes by car it may even take several bus to get there), you can go to walk the main attractions of the city of Edinburgh. There were 5, my wife, my three daughters and myself. We felt comfortable and we were welcomed by Gordon arrival. The only downside is the size of the beds when you are very large in size. We plan to go back to Edinburgh because in three days we have not been able to visit all. That day if the apartment is available, we will be staying there again with pleasure. THANK YOU to Mark Gordon and see you soon. Claude Jocet.

Alison: We loved the flat. It was light bright and cosy with everything we needed. It was within walking distance of lots of good restaurants and shops and we would definitely recommend it. It is good value for money too especially for the 4 of us sharing.

This apartment is in an ideal location, round the corner from the Playhouse and next to numerous bars and restaurants and Tesco express also just a short walk to Princes Street. The flat is very clean with comfortable beds and plenty of space. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with everything you would require and lots of extras (teabags, coffee, salt, sugar etc). Bathroom also spacious with bath and plenty of hot water, also thoughtful extras such as shampoo and shower cream (loved the soft fluffy towels). Living room very comfortable, excellent wifi and large tv and dvd player. The owners were very diligent in keeping in touch and the access was efficient and trouble free. The surprise welcome pack of milk, shortbread, fresh coffee and a lovely bottle of wine was very welcoming.

Our host met us, showed us around the apartment, answered any questions we had, The apartment was provided with many household supplies! It was quiet, and we had many eating places near by.

We stayed in this property whilst in Edinburgh to visit the royal mile and tantalloun castle. The property is perfectly located centrally and is around a 5 minute walk to the playhouse. There are plenty of cafés close by and minutes from main bus routes. The property was immaculate and well kitted out with appliances and a tv with DVD player. The property is very quiet and we heard no outside noise during our entire stay. Would definitely book again the next time we are in Edinburgh.

We arrived at our scheduled time to find Gordon waiting for us as agreed. The handover of the apartment and keys was smooth and we both found Gordon to be very informative with the details he shared about the flat and the local area.
There was milk coffee SHORTBREAD and OMG Nice WINE awaiting for us in the kitchen. What a perfect surprise!
There is absolutely nothing missing from this apartment that you would need staying here. The service was second to none and be assured you will find both Gordon and Mark to be excellent to deal with.
The flat is situation in walking distance to a wide range of city cerent activities, we were on a girlie break so shopping and pubs were virtually on our doorstep
We would definitely stay in this apartment again or in any of the other apartment Gordon and Mark have is this is the standard you get
Thanks again for out wonderful short break..... You guys ROCK x

A clean, modern apartment in a great location. Walking distance into town and free car parking space was a real bonus. We have a young baby and the apartment was child friendly and had a high chair. The kitchen is kitted out with basic essentials.

Raji: The flat was newly renovated and very comfortable. Close to the Royal mile and was able to walk everywhere. Great choices of restaurants close to the flat. Mark was an excellent host. Will strongly recommend staying here. Would love to come back and stay at Mark's place again.

“Amazing Break”
Stayed April 2014
Just returned from our stay and we will definitely use this accommodation the next time we are in Edinburgh . The flat is equipped with everything you need which was fantastic as we have young children. The property is really central which meant we could access the city centre easily, the free parking was a real bonus :) From the moment we booked the owners were easy to deal with. A really pleasant stay, thank you and see you when we are back for the Edinburgh Festival ( without children)

Margo: We were very lucky to be the first people to stay in this apartment since it has been acquired by the current landlord. The apartment was extremely comfortable and we really enjoyed our evenings unwinding after long days sightseeing the lovely Edinburgh. Complimentary wine as well as tea and biscuits hit the right spot with our group! Would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Edinburgh for just a couple of nights or longer as the apartment has a great kitchen and, if you need to, you can cook yourself a lovely meal. Top marks!!!

Apartment was located in a central area, just a short walk to Royal Mile as well as the shopping street. There were many Halal restaurants in the area as well and that was very convenient for my family and I. The only downside to this apartment is the stairs...but I guess that's inevitable. Apartment is well-furnished and kept clean.

Mark, the property manager, communicated wonderfully before, during and after our stay. The price was reasonable and we were greeted with a bottle of wine on the kitchen counter. Mark's professionalism was extraordinary and he attended to all details to ensure our stay was marvellous! Many thanks!

I know Edinburgh quite well now but have never stayed in the Old Town or at this apartment. It was perfect though, Mark and Gordon saw to everything that we needed. (Even hair straighteners!) Not only is the apartment absolutely as advertised but also the extra lovely touches of real milk, complementary wine and a stash of real coffee meant that we really had everything we needed. Great quality bed linen too - which, let's face it, isn't always a given!
Thank you Mark and Gordon for a fab stay - I'll be rebooking for my next visit :)

Suzanne : The hosts were very helpful and the space was clean and had a great shower! The only thing were were not prepared for was the 60 stairs. I knew it was upstairs but we did not know it was 3 floors up. The flat was in a great location.

Perfect for 3/4 people. Very convenient location. Friendly and helpful owner who guided us to the local eateries as we arrived mid evening. Lovely thoughtful touches like the wine and shortbread and a vase of flowers to mention a few. So much better than 2 hotel rooms.

I regularly stay in this apartment when I'm working in Edinburgh. It's clean and well mantained with a comfy kingsize bed. They recently installed wi-fi which is a bonus for me if I have work to do. The only downside is that it only has a shower rather than a bath.
The owners are easy to deal with and I've already recommended it to friends when they are visiting Edinburgh.

This was our second stay in the apartment, after visiting last year, and probably won't be our last. The landlord is very friendly and helpful. The apartment is in an ideal location for tourists and was clean and spacious. In short, perfect for our needs. Highly recommended.

The location of this flat is perfect for Edinburgh and Fringe festival-goers, being very close to all the main venues and with the advantage of being very quiet as it is in a side street. The booking and admin was very easy to and the owner fantastically flexible about our arrival time, happy to keep in touch with us by text on the day and to fit in with our plans. The flat was spacious, well equipped, comfortable and clean, and the welcome bottle of wine a very nice touch. Located on the 4th floor, there is no lift so you need to be OK with stairs. We would definitely recommend this accomodation.
