    The location was absolutely amazing - right in the heart of the old town, with jaw-dropping views from the apartment windows. The apartment itself was spacious, bright, and equipped with everything we needed, including wi-fi, a dryer. The key pick-up process was super convenient, and the host was incredibly friendly and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

    It was useful base for visiting most Edinburgh attractions. Although the bed was uncomfortable, I loved the apartment.

    The fact that no lift.

    Loved being right near Edinburgh Castle, felt like I was living in a fairytale. The cozy apartment had everything I needed. Just wish I had brought my own child bed.

    Sleeping on the sofa with a throw. Such a disappointment!

    The value for money at Writers View, Royal Mile Apartment was exceptional, and the room itself was cozy and inviting. The location couldn't be better, with the Writers Museum just across the yard and the famous Jolly Judge pub just a short walk away. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    When it comes to breakfast choices, it would have been great to have some fresh pastries or bread provided alongside the tea and coffee.

    Great location, within walking distance of all major attractions and train station. Spacious and cozy apartment with plenty of room for everyone.- Easy communication and online payment with the owner.- an excellent stay with no complaints.

    The apartment is located on a high floor with no elevator, which can be difficult for some guests. Occasionally, there were noises from a nearby pub and late-night singing, but it's understandable considering the location.

    Fantastic location, right in the heart of the city. The apartment is spacious and bright, with all the necessary amenities like dishwasher and washing machine. The views from the sitting room windows are stunning. The key pick-up process is very convenient, and the host is friendly and helpful.

    The area can get noisy at night, which might disturb light sleepers. The trash disposal at the bottom of the stairs can be a bit messy.
