    Finding the apartment and collecting the keys was hassle-free. Despite being in a busy area, the apartment was pleasantly quiet as it faced away from the street. the cleanliness was impeccable, with a comfy bed and plenty of hot water. the apartment's location was ridiculously good, just a minute's walk from the royal mile. The spacious apartment had good wifi, comfortable furniture, and a nicely functioning shower. Cons: Nothing, all excellent! 😊.

    We had a fantastic time staying at Blair Street Residence! The apartment was spotlessly clean and cozy, perfect for our short break. Despite the steep stairs, the apartment itself was well-equipped with all the essentials we needed. The location couldn't have been better, with famous scenic spots just a short walk away. The hot shower and comfortable bed were a great touch, and the fully equipped kitchen was a bonus. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    The apartment's central location in the heart of the old town ensures that everything is just a stone's throw away. Within minutes, you can easily reach the famous Royal Mile and other major attractions. the property itself is spacious, clean, and well, equipped, providing a comfortable stay for larger groups of friends. the WiFi is reliable, and the beds are cozy. the shower is user, friendly, and the living room features a comfortable sofa and chairs, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

    Sometimes, the staff's lack of warmth and occasional confusion in their messages can be off, putting.

    The location of the apartment couldn't be better - just a couple minutes walk from all the major tourist attractions and great restaurants. It's amazing how close everything is, yet once you're inside the apartment, you can hardly believe it. The comfort level was top-notch and there were all the essentials provided. Plus, it was well priced and offered good value for money.

    The only downside was the steep and narrow flight of stairs leading up to the apartment. It was a bit of a challenge carrying my luggage up and down, and the entrance to the apartment looked a bit eerie.
