Centrally located in relation to all attractions.Lobby area and lift scruffy and a bit dirty. Although there was a closet in the bedroom it was impossible to get into without moving a bedside unit.

The location was perfect, very close to the Royal mile.The lack of a wardrobe and of any place where to put the luggage. We had to keep the cloths in the suitcases on the ground.The lift with a key may be a little inconvenient.

Staff were friendly, helpful, informative, made us feel very welcome.The apartment was immaculate, clean and very homely and had everythingwe needed to make our stay comfortable, can't fault it in any way andwould definatley recommend. Location is great, within walking distancefrom royal mile, castle and all the main attractions. They also arrangedour taxi pick up and drop off to airport which was a great help, I wouldstay here again without a doubt :-)The spiral stairs to the apartments caused us a bit of a problem as my wife has a bad hip. Not easy for parking but that is Edinburgh in general.

Location in a 1727 tenement 1 block from the castle. Perfectly quiet at night but adjacent to all the action. Staying in an apartment makes me feel like I am not in a hotel.Apartment finishing eg skirting, tiling, silicon, decorating etc was of a very poor and tired state - the apartment access wasn't good for young family's with pushchairs etc due to amount of steps. The apartment was of 2/3 star at best and having used stay Manchester apartments and been very satisfied we were left very disappointed with this apartment

location is excellent.verry picturesque suroundings. Everything invluding train station is walking distance. Partment also holds its privacy.downside to our particular appartment was it wasnt located in a possition to catch the spectacular city views, however it was everything we needed for a comfirtable stsy.Unit cleanliness was less than 100% - especially in the vestibule and stairway leading to the unit. That certainly was not a huge problem though - and I guess that also could be considered part of the "charm" associated with an older building in the Old Town area.

I was taking two adult family members for a short holiday and we neededthree rooms. I was exploring hotel costs which were quite considerable.Stay Edinburgh City apartments were very reasonable in cost and superblysituated right on the Royal Mile.Comfortable, warm, multiple bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen with fridge, freezer and washing machine.I would definitely recomend this for a group who want the freedom of self-catering and the convenience of location.Being misled about the location ie I had my taxi drop me off at 217 High st, then had to move my gear to 1 Upper Bow. Although I had help, this was a pain. I'm not sure how to get around it.Also we had a bath but the shower fittings didn't seem to have water connected, so couldn't take a shower. Up several levels with heavy suitcases was not fun. Nor after all day traipsing around tourism venues.

proximity to Castle and other tourist featuresOur family was placed in two apartments in two separate areas. We werein James Court apartment 6. After checking in I was so dismayed Idoubled checked my emails for what I had booked and went back to thereviews for this company. I found the review of the person who had beenin the apartment prior to us and they had listed the same problems wewere having. This was not a four star luxury apartment!!!! You needed togo up 58 steps in a spiral stair case to get to the apartment - andwhilst assistance was offered in carrying our 20kilo bags up, gettingthem back down was all up to us. Every time you went out you had tocontemplate the steps both down and up. In all honesty had I have knownabout the stairs I would not have booked the apartment - I have badknees and so does my partner - my kids were fine. The kitchen was goodand well stocked for our arrival which was appreciated, but the washingmachine did not work and we had to run up and down the 58 stairs acrossto another apartment to wash. In addition the washing machine in theother apartment took up to 90 minutes to complete a cycle and as it wasalso a dryer ( all in one) you then needed to wait up to 180 minutes ormore for one load of washing to dry. Having a washing machine /dryeravailable was meant to be helpful in our trip - it was in fact a sourceof stress (we had been traveling for a week and had saved our washing todo here). Harvey was quite sympathetic when I expressed my unhappinesswith the apartment not being four star luxury and did have the washingmachine fixed by the time we got home on our last night ( for which I amgrateful), but that does not undo the stress caused. The bathroom wasmodern but tiny with no where to put toiletries. Only one person couldbe in the bathroom at a time. The door when opened just cleared thevanity.The towel hook came off, the drain cover was broken. (Againmentioned by the previous tenant).

The location on the Royal Mile is good if you want shopping and restuarants in the area.The only thing that was just a little problem was the access. For thefrail elderly or a family with push chairs it would not be so good. Iewe were on the third floor and the stairs were rather steep.
