4.92 out of 5 average rating, 211 reviewsHome from home on the Royal Mile
After many weeks of work and travel, we were grateful to land at Fariba's place. Edinburgh's pathways are like portals -- ours lead literally from the Royal Mile into a beautiful and peaceful courtyard. Fariba's place is bright, warm and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the flat offered lots of comfortable places to rest and read. Edinburgh's historic places, along with a multitude of shops, pubs, and restaurants, lie just a few steps away (back through the portal). One day, we walked out the door and took a 7-mile hike around Holyrood. We usually don't stay in the middle of an Old Town district, due to concerns about crowds and bustle, but we made an exception this time and were glad we did.

Wonderful view and Aileen was very helpful. Although street parking is free over night out front of the unit it is very expensive during the day. Nearest parking facility cost 70 euro for roughly 30 hours. Recommended to park at nearest free parking and commute to the unit as everything is very close and did not use the car while staying here. Otherwise the unit was very nice with great views and exactly as photographed even down to the the teddy

Verinique's apartment was beautifully decorated and super clean. Magnificent high ceilings and great atmosphere. The kitchen was equipped with everything. We were able to explore Edinburgh on foot because of the good location.

Great location for a few days in Edinburgh. We were driving and pleased there was free on street parking and the local train station is just 2 mins walk away. The train to Edinburgh centre took around 9mins.

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 449 reviewsCharming 1BR, Near Castle
Stuart’s place was perfect for our trip! It is in a great location. Close to the beautiful sites of Old Town, and only a 5 minute walk from the train, which was convenient for us. Stuart was super responsive before and during our trip, and check in instructions were easy. Bed and couch were comfy and the apartment had everything we needed. As others have mentioned, the stairs are a trek, but you’ll get used to that in Edinburgh :) would stay here again!

This was a perfect stay for our first visit to Edinburgh. We loved coming back to the tranquility of Fiona’s home. It had all we needed and the park access is a hidden gem amongst all the business. We highly recommend this home and we will be back on our next trip. 🩷

5 out of 5 average rating, 142 reviewsStunning Edinburgh 1820s stables converted house
It was absolutely gorgeous and tranquil. There was plenty to do and explore around the place. It is a bit of a drive in and out of Edinburgh (30 min) but it was worth it. Plenty of space for multiple guests. We had a group of 6 but never felt like we were crowding each other. We also never felt the presence of other guests on the property which was lovely. The host could not have been nicer and made sure to personally greet us when we got there.

Perfect location just outside the main part of the city, very walkable to all the sights. Really comfortable and homey feel to the flat, with the added bonus of secure parking! Lovely touch of a loaf of bread and milk! Couldn’t recommend highly enough! Thank you so much!

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 401 reviewsStylish garden flat with own entrance, Stockbridge
I cannot recommend this apartment enough. We had an amazing three nights there exploring Edinburgh, and we’d definitely return to this apartment in future. The place itself is immaculate and exactly as the listing describes. It was warm, cosy and in a fantastic spot - the apartment is a stones throw from Stockbridge, a lovely village-y area of the city with lots of high quality shops, restaurants and pubs, and also it’s right on the Water of Leith walkway. It’s barely 25 minute walk to the Old City for sightseeing. Jennifer is an excellent host who was totally accommodating of every ask, including a request to drop our bags off early due to catching an early flight, and was responsive and attentive throughout. 10/10 recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jonathan’s Airb&b. The place was absolutely gorgeous, spotless, and in a perfect location. Check in was easy as Jonathan had sent instructions before hand which were clear and made it simple. The whole party said we wished we could stay longer we loved the Airb&b so much :) will definitely be returning!

We absolutely adored this flat! It was perfect for our girls’ weekend. We loved sipping wine by the fireplace. The two bathrooms were prefect for us. The street is also very quiet and close to groceries and coffee shops. I’d love to come back!

Edinburgh is a magical city, and our visit was made even more magical by having the privilege of staying at The Butlers Basement. Gemma is such a thoughtful host, from the cookies and chocolate to the sustainable and local items she offers in the flat (the soap is wonderful!) She was incredibly responsive and accommodating, and made us feel looked after. We can’t wait to return to Edinburgh and stay at the Butlers Basement again!

This place was right in the heart of it all. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Checking in had lots of steps but was easy to follow and we had it down after our first go around. The location of this could not have been better and the hosts were very responsive.

We loved the apartment! everything was wonderful and just like pictured on the airbnb app. All the extras like the yogurt and the fruit and the coffee and the french press was amazing! We felt right at home. There is a picture window which I sat in several mornings. And looked out at the beautiful surroundings and drank my coffee. The apartment is beautifully decorated and comfortable... The artwork was beautiful! we would definitely stay there again.

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 189 reviewsBeautiful Garden House with off-street parking
Beautiful, spacious, light-filled 1-bedroom garden apartment with everything a traveler could need for a most comfortable stay. Extras, like fruit, wine, coffee, milk, eggs and more were gifts on arrival. Maps, books, recommendations for dining and history about the house and neighborhood were on the bookshelves. I felt like a treasured guest of Howard and Kathleen, with kind greetings on arrival and restful privacy during my stay.
