“We had a truly wonderful stay at this stunning apartment on the Royal Mile. It was furnished to an exceptional standard and had all the amenities we needed. The location was amazing, with historical significance all around. The spiral staircase added charm, and the kitchen and bathroom were well-stocked. The smart TV and plenty of plugs were convenient. We also enjoyed the ice cream at Gladstone's Land downstairs. We highly recommend this apartment and would definitely return.”
