A gem of a property in a great location
The property was clean, tidy and comfortable - we were only 2 people, but it was a decent size big enough for a family of 4 or 4 adults. We loved the location in Leith - nice and quiet at night, but with plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance and also close enough to the city centre to be easily accessed by tram or bus. The property owner was really communicative and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again.

Perfect Accommodation
We stayed for three nights and were very comfortable at the apartment. There are many local restaurants, pubs, and coffee shops within walking distance, and well-stocked supermarkets for provisions. We loved the convenient tram stop that took us to and from the city center, and to transport us from the airport to Leith on the day of our arrival. All in all it felt like home! I would definitely recommend this lodging for anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Amazing property and fantastic host
We loved Stuart's property in Leith so much we decided to stay another night. His property was unfortunately not available but he helped connect us with others who could house us. Truly above and beyond host and amazing guy. Could not recommend enough.

Great location and good communication
We liked the location of the apartment. However, we rented a car and drove to parking near the Royal Mile. The apartment was dated but it was comfortable.

Cozy and accessible apartment
The apartment had enough room for our family of five adults to move around comfortably and it was helpful to have two bathrooms. Transportation and local restaurants were nearby.
