In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Unbeatable location on the Royal Mile — Right on High Street, steps from St Giles' Cathedral and the Museum of Childhood, and surrounded by shops, restaurants, and nightlife. Many guests called it perfect or unbeatable.
- Newly renovated with modern bathrooms — Several recent guests noted the apartment has been refreshed, with clean, modern bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No lift — stairs required — The apartment is on the 5th floor and there is no elevator. One guest mentioned climbing five flights, and another needed a neighbor's help with heavy luggage.
- Noise from street and pub — Situated above a pub on a busy street, the location can be lively — which some guests loved for nightlife but others may find disruptive.
- Small per-night price may reflect simpler facilities — The rate from £7 is very low, likely indicating a basic accommodation or a promotional price; amenities are limited (no smoking, no pets, limited Wi-Fi in public areas only).
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals may need to arrange ahead.
