Very good value. The flat was spacious, warm, well equipped and in an excellent location for us. The beds were very comfortable and we felt at home almost instantly. It made an ideal base for all the things we wanted to do and we enjoyed coming "home" to this flat every day.

My first impressions were really good. As a family of five, I want furniture which is practical and not easily marked so I am not worrying all holiday. Practical leather sofas, solid kitchen furniture and wooden floors all made this easier. It was spacious, high ceilings and surprisingly well sound proof (we were staying over Easter when the students were away but I imagine at other times there would be more noise late at night at the weekends). Everything was very clean and the tempur mattresses were amazingly comfortable. We loved the accommodation - it was spacious, clean, practical and comfortable.
It is the little touches that made the difference. We loved having complimentary luxury Scottish smellies to use on holiday - and the children bathed in bubbles whilst I had the time to moisturise long neglected skin. We also appreciated fresh filter coffee and Scottish biscuits on arrival - very welcome after a four hour journey in the heat. I think it is very important to have washing up liquid, toilet rolls and even a little washing powder in the accommodation and this was all provided - as were ample supply of fresh towels, clean linen and tea towels.
Good communication by your staff who answered all queries promptly. All in all, an excellent service. I would also like to say I love the fact you collect and respond to feedback.

The atmosphere was fantastic. The location regarding the center was convenient. The big park was close as well as local food stores. The shops are open between 7AM to 11PM what was very convenient.
Everything went very smoothly.

The apartment was beautifully furnished, clean and very spacious. We really appreciated the many towels and the tea & coffee basket, as well as the cosy fireplace. Nice neighbourhood within walking distance of the Old Town.
We were really happy about the service provided. From the time we made the booking to the day of arrival, we got rapid response to our e-mails. Upon arrival, Anne Marie arrived just as we did, and we got a tour of the flat. It was nice that she took time to tell us about both the apartment and the neighbourhood.

"Very pleased with this accommodation - it is of good quality and pleasantly situated with a fairly frequent bus service nearby to the centre of town. We particularly felt it was well supplied with kitchen equipment and utensils, also plenty of towels. Would definitely consider booking this place again.
This is the first time we have used The Edinburgh Address and we are very pleased overall regarding the service provided."

The apartment was very spacious for our family and everything was in good working order. The kitchen was very nice. We made supper there several nights. the living room was comfortable for family and we enjoyed it's character. It was great to have internet access and lovely extra's such as games, books,shampoo and bath gel. I am sure we will try and rent this apartment again when we come to Scotland.
Contacts by phone and e-mail were responded to very quickly and Anne Marie was very nice and explained everything thoroughly when we checked in. No surprises and expectations were surpassed. Sue Muenchow September 2010
