    This place is mind-blowing! The location is super, with jaw-dropping views and within walking distance of all the top attractions. The apartment is spacious and the kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, cooktop, microwave, and even a washer/dryer. The dining room table is great for meals, and the bathroom is luxurious with a great bathtub. The bed is extremely comfortable, making for a perfect night's sleep. The apartment is clean and tidy with clear instructions. The host is kind and responsive. this is the best accommodation I've ever experienced and I'll definitely be returning in the future.

    I had an amazing stay at this apartment in the heart of the Grassmarket. Great value for money with a fantastic room that had everything I needed, including a comfy love seat that I could sleep on when I was feeling under the weather. The location was perfect, surrounded by great food and shopping options, and within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The highlight for me was the convenience of having a washer/dryer, oven, cooktop, and microwave, as well as a spacious dining room and a luxurious bathtub. The bed was really comfortable and the whole place felt clean and spacious. The added bonus was being able to hop on and off the tour bus, which stopped very close to the apartment. I would definitely book this place again, I absolutely loved it!

    As for the breakfast, it would have been great to have a wider variety of options on the menu.

    had an amazing stay in the heart of old town, minutes away from tours and great restaurants. David, the host, was fantastic and helpful throughout. The apartment was clean, spacious, and fully equipped with everything we needed.

    Stairs were steep.

    The apartment was clean and well-equipped, with everything we needed for our stay. The bathroom had both a bath and a shower with hot water available 24/7, which was a great way to start and end our busy days. The location was perfect for sightseeing and exploring the city. We were able to easily pack in as much as we could without wasting time on transportation. It was also great to have good communication from the owner, who provided clear instructions and even checked in with us during our stay.

    The strong smell of fried food throughout the apartment, coming from the restaurants below. This not only made the place smell unpleasant but also made our clothes and belongings smell like fried food as well.

    I recently stayed at a charming, cleverly converted apartment in a buzzing area. The traditional features like the fireplace and wooden floors, combined with modern amenities like a big bathroom and fully stocked kitchen, made it a hidden gem. The view from the window was fantastic, and being in the heart of the grass markets meant there was always plenty of activity to watch. I had a great experience at West Bow and would recommend it.

    The apartment was spotless and equipped with everything we needed, including towels and toiletries. The separate bath or shower with 24/7 hot water was a perfect way to start and end each day. The location was ideal for sightseeing, with the apartment being within walking distance of popular attractions like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The owner's communication was excellent, and they checked in to ensure we were comfortable and offered to assist with anything we needed. it was great value for a central capital city and perfect for exploring.

    Felt extremely welcome, no reason to complain.
