Beautiful flat in an excellent location!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The flat was beautifully decorated and well stocked. The view from the windows was breathtaking--we were here for a month and the view never got old. The kitchen had every pot and pan you could think of needing. There were clear instructions on how to use their appliances (which was very helpful for us as international travelers). The location was also perfect. There were many cafes, pubs, and restaurants just a few minutes walk from the flat. There was also a bus stop a 5 minute walk away that had buses to almost everywhere in the city so navigation was a breeze! The hosts did warn us that the entrance into the parking lot is narrow. We rented a mid sized SUV and it was pretty tight to navigate through the space, but still possible. A smaller car would have fit much easier so I would consider renting or bringing a smaller car if you need to drive while staying here. Overall an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend staying here while in Edinburgh!

Home away from home!
This was my first trip abroad, as well as first trip by myself, and this flat could not have been more perfect for my time. I stayed a month and it became my home instantly! Sarah is incredible as host, quick to respond and make me feel comfortable immediately. The views are incredible, the amount of sunlight is heavenly and it’s so quiet all times of day. I can’t wait to come back!

Great stay in well appointed property
We stayed for a month and felt like it was a home away from home. There was everything we needed and more. The location was great, pub next door really friendly and it was super easy to get public transport at the end of the road, a few minutes walk away. Would highly recommend.

Peaceful, bright and great location!
Finding a well situated place to stay with parking is a rarity in Edinburgh and this flat did not disappoint. As a top floor flat, the light comes in from both front and back windows so you are immediately struck by the natural light and the stunning views - very much worth the steps up. The entrance is narrow but not an issue to get through, Cafe Amarelo, Sambuca Italian Restaurant and Kate’s cafe are all brilliant and within 5 mins walking. Summerhall is conveniently located down the road which is our favourite Fringe venue. Sarah was really helpful and the information available at the flat goes beyond expectations. Would love to stay here again!

Comfortable flat - excellent location - exceptional hosts
Sarah and Roderick's handsome flat in the heart of the Newington neighborhood is as thoughtfully set up as any vrbo property we've had the pleasure of renting. It's smartly and comfortably appointed - everything done with an eye toward anticipating and meeting a wide range of guest wants and needs. Significant amenities include a superbly curated collection of DVDs, CDs and books; nicely packaged guides to neighborhood and beyond restaurants, shops and attractions; well equipped kitchen with a generous package of basic spices, coffee, tea, paper products, rubbish bags, recycle bins and cleaning supplies; splendid views of Arthur's Seat, the Salisbury Crags, the Pentland Hills, Newington and Old Town. It's an easy walk from the flat to a half dozen excellent restaurants we tried; good selection of artisanal bakeries and cafes; several well-sourced butchers and green grocers; well stocked wine and whisky shops; and friendly pubs, for example, the classic Leslie's -- and a 20-25 minute walk to many top Old Town attractions. Sarah and Roderick were a pleasure to deal with from booking to checkout. Highly recommended!
