My wife and I traveled to Edinburgh for our 20th anniversary and splurged a bit on this flat. We couldn't have been any happier with our choice of accommodations or with how our reservation was handled in general. Just a great flat in a great location for anyone who can handle the stairs.

I stayed at this property for Halloween 2008 with 3 friends. I have to say that this apartment is part of what made our stay in Edinburgh so enjoyable and memorable.

There are absolutely majestic views of St Giles Catherdral out of 2 the windows and the apartment is huge; a real home from home. The beds are all very comfortable with shutters to close out the nightlife on the streets below. The kitchen is fitted out with everything you could need and the living room provided ample space for 4 girls in PJs to lay around watching DVDs. The bathroom was large and always had hot water and had enough room for 4 girls things!

As with lots of self catering accommodation in Edinburgh - if you want the amazing views and to stay in gorgeous old listed properties - expect a haul up several flights of stairs - there are no lifts. But the climb to the top is more than worth it.

The guy who met us to let us in was helpful, informative and very polite and punctual.

The cost for 4 people to stay here was approx half the cost for two hotel rooms which is what we were looking at originally. Very reasonable prices and great savings made.

All in all, this place was magic and we have nothing but great memories and we will be back!

Thank you

This review is long overdue. We travelled through Scotland and Ireland last year and our stay at Parliament Square was definitely the highlight of our trip!! We stayed at several self-catering apartments and 5 star hotels and this place was, by far, the best!! The location is unbelievable. The apartment is impecable - clean, spacious and very well-appointed. The transaction with Edinburgh Self-Catering was seamless. It is up a fews stairs, but it's well worth the climb. I would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone!!
