It was pouring with rain when we arrived and we couldn’t find the correct lock box for the keys. Fortunately the host was home and he kindly came to help us - greatly appreciated! Great communication throughout our whole stay.

Communication from Paul very quick and concise. Entry instructions were very clear. Brilliant location - close to Castle and very quiet at night. Little touches like sugar, salt, spices, etc. were great, and we especially enjoyed the welcoming...

The location was ideal, being right in the heart of the action. Before arrival the host sent very comprehensive instructions, including photos, of how to travel to the accommodation from the airport and how to access the keys. I liked the touch...

Brilliantly well located one bedroom property (first floor). Situated in the historic Upper Bow in Edinburgh's Old Town, and very near the Castle, this sunny and quiet property has wonderful views.
We will be in a nearby flat, and contactable directly or via email or telephone during your stay.
The part of the Royal Mile that is pedestrianized for the Festival is round the corner from the flat. And every night at the end of the Tattoo, you can watch from the window the Massed Pipe Band marching down Castlehill as they play their final piece. Edinburgh Waverley Station is a 10 minute walk away. There is a main bus route by the flat, and it is a few minutes walk to the tram and other buses on Princes Street. If you would like a taxi, we have a taxi rank on the corner outside the flat.
