Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Edinburgh

We could not have asked for a better place to stay during our stay in Edinburgh. Di was friendly and helpful, and we felt very comfortable. The neighbourhood was amazing, and we had fun shopping and trying different restaurants. Easy access to the Royal Mile, and it was lovely to have a quiet spot to return to at the end of the day. Everything was perfect, and we are grateful we had the opportunity to stay at such a lovely location.

I stayed at this wonderful property for a few days right after getting married, kicking off my honeymoon while also showing my new in-laws some of the best parts of the UK. The entire family had a great time here—it’s clean, very spacious, and truly felt like home. We did run into a minor issue with a bathroom leak (a bit of bad luck on my part, I suppose), but the host was incredibly responsive and did everything they could to resolve it quickly. I really appreciate how it was handled and am grateful for the prompt attention. Overall, I highly recommend this lovely property. If I’m ever in Edinburgh again with family or friends, I’d definitely check if this place is available before considering other options in the Old Town area. A big thank you to the superhosts for your kindness, patience, and excellent communication in making sure everything went smoothly during our stay. 🙏🙏♥️

The converted stables were beautiful. Our family wanted an updated Scottish feel and this place was exactly that. Danni is the sweetest and was so helpful with everything. Highly recommend staying here!

Lovely house, great location, pretty outlook, quiet, very clean, nice n cosy, helpful instructions about house. Would definitely recommend.

Great location for easy (& cheap) tram access to the city. The house was spotless and had all the amenities we needed. Nearby bars and shops if you want to stay local. Laura’s extensive information prior to check-in was superb and communication fantastic. Would highly recommend her as a host and hope to go back again in the future. Thank you so much Laura.

A wonderful great stay. Would highly recommend. Coming from the states I didn’t miss any of the modern luxuries of housing. Fully functional kitchen, and warm spaces with lots of natural light. A truly home away from home feeling. Thank you and hope to meet again in the future.

Excellent place to stay. Clean, comfortable, warm, quiet, well equipped and easy to get into town by bus. Would recommend and would stay again.

Jamie is an absolutely lovely host and the flat is beautiful and spotless. The bus stop right outside is very handy, also the Co Op just around the corner. Not the most salubrious area but nice and quiet. Would definitely stay there again, an ideal base for exploring Edinburgh.

The place was amazing! We had such a great time here and you quickly get used to walking up the stairs!

Lovely flat with balcony and views across to Arthurs Seat. Had everything we needed and Slawomir provided coffee, toilet rolls and toiletries. Parking onsite and lift access to apartment. Slawomir was a great host, responsive and met us on arrival. Perfect space for the 4 of us.

The flat was warm, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We didn’t cook but the kitchen was very well equipped. It is in a great location, only a couple of minutes walk to vibrant Stockbridge, but not noisy. The hosts were easy to contact and very helpful. We would definitely choose to stay there again.

Over the years, I've stayed in places around the world that I've booked through Airbnb. This listing is one of the best I've experienced. The location is fabulous: many places I could walk to, and bus stops were convenient when I wanted to ride public transportation. The flat is comfortable, the kitchen very useable, and the laundry machine a treat to have onsite. I also loved having Kay's Bar, a truly neighborhood pub, a short stroll away.

Great apartment, very close to the tram and bus stops. Neighborhood was quiet and very easy to navigate. Everything matched the description of the listing, and upon entering the apartment, it's like we knew where everything was. David was super responsive and even checked in on the first day to make sure we got there ok and didn't have any issues getting into the unit.

We really enjoyed our stay the apartment was lovely, very clean and tidy with a homely feel. The views from the balcony of Deans Village were beautiful. Close to coffee shops and restaurants and easy to walk into the city centre or catch an Uber on a lazy day. Ross was also very responsive to any queries we had. Highly recommended

We spent a week in the apartment with a 2 year old and had everything we needed here. The apartment is in a great location - within walking distance of bus stops (bus 20 minutes to the airport or in the other direction to the center), 5 minutes on foot smaller supermarket, 15 minutes on foot large supermarket, 5 minutes on foot playground. Parking a car in a nearby street for free. We also appreciate the opportunity to check in half an hour early and, on the contrary, check out in the early morning (at 4:15 AM) thanks to a contactless check-out. The owners responded to all messages almost immediately. The construction of the neighbors did not limit or disturb us at all. We were just not comfortable with a narrow and too soft bed and a less manageable shower. We still recommend a place to stay to everyone.

Had a lovely stay at Keith’s place for my Mums birthday, it’s a great location close to town, really quiet and really spacious (bigger than the photos) - would highly recommend!

Fantastic dwelling, great location and excellent hosts. We will definitely look to return to Edinburgh in the future and seek this residence as well as highly recommending it to our friends and family. Our hosts Mark and Dayna were wonderful especially with their wonderful gesture of allowing us to stay an extra night, free of charge, due to The Hogmanay Festival being cancelled. Thank you again. Nevertheless a wonderful visit to Edinburgh underpinned by an excellent apartment and generous hosts.

Comfortable stay in Haymarket Edinburgh. Easy accessible to the city center and. Clear instructions given for check in and check out. Met the host during the check in and the host is very kind and helpful. The stay is at 4th floor. Quiet and clean stay. Love it !

A cosy, clean apartment right in the heart of the old city centre. Perfect if you are visiting without a car. Communication with Jana was friendly and uncomplicated. If we come back to Edinburgh definitely we’ll book again.

First of all, Ryan let me drop my bags at the flat around 11A, which was SO nice, and opened up my options for day #1 sightseeing. The flat is in a great location: away from the hubbub of Princes Street (where I spent the first two nights due to a change in plans, and don’t get me wrong, Princes Street is great, but it’s hopping), but 11 stops (22 min) on the 10 bus from Princes Street, if that’s where you’re headed. Two highlights: 1) The laundry game here is STRONG, including a descending drying rack in the laundry room which I’m 100% going to copy as soon as I get home. 2) GREAT shower. I used the tub mat, because if I fall in the shower, it’s going to be bad. 3) Convenience store across the street, Lidl (grocery) within a mile walk. Take your bag to both, as a reminder (I had to run back across the street). Thanks, Ryan. I hope to be back next year for the Edinburgh curling tournament. John

New Town is a beautiful part of Edinburgh and Cornelius's apartment was perfectly located to make benefit of its bars and restaurants. The apartment was just lovely with tasteful art work and a nice minimalist feel. Well appointed so easy to turn to home cooking when needed and all in all we would be happy to recommend.

This place was amazing, seriously exceeded expectations. The location was perfect for exploring the city, so close to everything. The flat itself was super clean and comfortable, with the amenities you could need. Check-in was a breeze, and the host was very responsive. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone traveling here!

Stayed here for a wedding in Edinburgh. Perfect location. The building is right next door to Lidl so we could grab some food when we arrived. It’s just close enough to the centre to be able to pop in and out in an Uber. Plus a parking space included so we could drive into town if we wanted and always have somewhere to park on our way back. The interior was actually better than the pictures. Really modern with everything we could have needed. We were really pleased with everything. Will definitely book again if we decide to revisit Edinburgh.

Excellent apartment in central Edinburgh. We really enjoyed our stay. The place was great, and I would be happy to stay here in the future.
