Really spacious but a few issues
We had a 2 bed apartment, 1 queen size bed and 1 single. The apartment was huge, really spacious and lots of storage and it’s in a fab location really central for everywhere. First impressions were very good but there were a few issues. The biggest being no ceiling lights in the queen bedroom and living area, only tiny wall lights with yellow bulbs. I couldn’t even unpack my case without the torch on my iPhone never mind be able to see myself properly to dry my hair and put on make up. The girl on reception did try her best to resolve this by getting us some brighter, whiter bulbs for the wall lights and a lamp. We were also offered a change of room but would have to pay £50 which we declined. We managed with the brighter bulbs but overall it did make the apartment feel a bit dark and dungeon like. I imagine it would be better if you stayed in the summer and got more natural daylight.
Other than that the shower head popped off a couple of times and the shower screen didn’t meet the top of the bath properly so water went everywhere when you were having a shower. I few minor other things that just took the edge of the overall impression, wire hanging down from behind the tv, part of the radiator was falling off in the hallway and one of the sockets in the kitchen wasn’t working. Overall a few minor changes and attention to detail could’ve made a ok stay and really good one
Really good property for families, great location, access to private garden and park. Kitchen kitted out with all the necessities. There is road noise but didn’t bother us.
Excellent location with good sized rooms and all the amenities we needed. The property was very clean and the staff friendly, helpful and had excellent local knowledge.
The property was clean, aesthetically pleasing, in a great location for walking the city, close to shops and restaurants. Even though you do have a code, there is someone on property for a number of hours during the day. Only downsides, communication was difficult and lacking, and the twin bed in the twin room was uncomfortable for an adult.
We stayed at a two bedroom apartment. The kitchen had everything we needed to get started for our stay. Place was clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance of old town and new town. There were tram and bus stations everywhere. We did not need a rental car. The only complaint our beds were very stiff.
There was a front desk with a manager when we arrived in the afternoon. The office is closed in the evening. Make sure your reservation is complete before arriving. Uploading ID documentation is very important.
Great stay, beautiful gardens behind the hotel. Would stay again.

Great apartment stay in Edinburgh
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Clean and well appointed rooms. Easy walk to major tourist stops but with a more neighborhood feel.
The staff was amazing and checking in was very easy and pleasant
The property was really lovely and located in best area of Edinburgh.
The apartment was very spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The only negative was that there were no windows and because it was in the basement, the apartment required to be equipped with air vents and circulation which was very noisy and it could not be turned down and the sleep was disturbed. Overall it was very nice and large apartment in great location.
On a 2 week Euro-trip, this was my fav stay. The staff was friendly, the place was easy to navigate. No issues with any outlets or appliances. Shopping & food was closeby - we didn't use transit once just because it was THAT walkable. Will def be coming back the next time I come to Edinburgh. Will also look into other Sonder properties when traveling!
