The Causewayside Apartment
Great location for us, about 20 minutes walk into town or to Holyrood Park. Aprtment was very well finished and clean with everything we needed, including baby accessories. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.
The owner kindly accommodated our request for an early check-in and met us at the apartment with a warm welcome. It had everything we needed. We were out and about in Edinburgh most of the time, but appreciated having more space to relax in than we would have had in a hotel. The walk into Princes Street didn't take long but there were plenty of taxis and buses available nearby had we needed them. Shops in the neighbourhood were handy for supplies, but we favoured the local organic store "Earthy" for delicious coffee, breakfasts and cakes. Despite being on a main road the apartment was quiet so we had no problems sleeping soundly. All in all, a great weekend and we would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Edinburgh.
We visited Edinburgh for a late birthday present to my mum and for my 2 year old to visit the zoo. We found everything about our stay in this apartment brilliant. We were greeted on our arrival by the very pleasant owner (who even got a cuddle from my son) and we found it to be immaculate, comfortable and suitable to all our needs. So much more personal than a hotel. We will recommend this to friends and family and we will definately be staying again.
I stayed here in December 2006, for the Hogmanay festivities and this is a great place to stay if you want to be walking distance to the action but still far enough out to escape the noise!
There are plenty of nice pubs and bars (The Old Bell, Borough Hotel) nearby and the Meadows is not far.
The real advantage of this place is that it is fitted immaculately and presented with genuine care and attention to detail, you feel like you are getting a treat by staying here even if the surrounding apartment block is nothing to write home about.
The apartment is on the ground floor but getting a wheel chair in would be difficult as there are a few steps to negotiate.
I cannot praise this apartment (and the owner) enough. I had a great time with my family whilst staying here (and thoroughly enjoyed Edinburgh too!).
This high-quality apartment really set the tone for our stay and we will definately be returning next year for more!
Thank you, Andy

Very good value. I think there is no way to improve the acommodation it was impressive. In our opinion the apartment it's great and it was better than we expected so for us it's a 10 over 10. Every thing related to payment, access to the apartment, getting the keys was easy and friendly, we're very happy.

We are so comfortable and happy in your beautifully appointed flat. I especially appreciate all the fresh flowers and the many nice amenities, such as the Au Lait toiletries and the new kitchen supplies (sponge, cloths, etc.)
I'll certainly want to return, which I hope is often as my girls have 4 more years at Edinburgh Uni. Thank you for everything!

[The accommodation represents] very good value. We loved the apartment, the flowers, the extra towels, the lovely Christmas decoration and the warm welcome. It really was a home away from home. The service was very good, our questions were always answered promptly and the contact was always very friendly and helpful.

"The apartment was delightful! Light and airy, well furnished, and very well resourced. A real home from home. A little way out of the centre, but then we needed the exercise, so no problems.
Good, efficient service with regards to communication. The provision of toiletries, tea and coffee, salt and pepper, and even a little olive oil and red wine vinegar was much appreciated."

"When we arrived at the apartment we were very pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and size of the overall apartment. It had such a homely feel that we found it to be perfect. It was also extremely well equipped and had all of the essentials that we required. The apartment had a modern décor and was the perfect accommodation for celebrating the Hogmany festival. I would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone travelling to Edinburgh and hopefully I will be personally re-booking the apartment when I am next in Edinburgh.
The Edinburgh Address were a hassle free service who provided over and beyond what we expected. The flat was of a very high standard and all of our requests such as late check in & late check out were completed without a single problem. The apartment was so amazing that I actually wish I lived there!! I would like to thank all of the Edinburgh address team for making our Hogmany and my 25th Birthday such a fantastic break."

"Excellent, plenty of space for our party of 4 adults and 1 infant, everything we required was provided and more. Local amenities were more than adequate for day to day bits and bobs and location was ideal, close enough to city centre for easy visiting but far enough away for quieter evenings. The apartment was kitted out to a very high standard and was spotless. Will definitely recommend to friends and family."

"The accommodation is in a great location, centre of town easily reached. I was delighted with the attention to detail in what was provided, no need to take anything with us. If we had children there was plenty to keep them amused - games, books, dvd's. The furnishings were top class.
The service was excellent, great communication, nothing was too much trouble."

"Flat was spotlessly clean, plenty towels on hand. Very well equipped even down to a couple of umbrellas which luckily weren't needed. Nice central location, town easily reached by bus or foot. We would use this accomodation again. Thank you."

"We just returned from our vacation to England, Scotland, France and Italy. While away we stayed at five different self catering accomodations. My entire family agrees (6 of us) that the Causwayside was the best of all of them. The apartment was clean, newly renovated, warm and welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. The fresh flowers and fruit we received on our arrival made for a warm welcome and the specialty bars of soap and lotions in the bathroom gave a pampered feel to the place. It was easy to get to by public transit (however the bus line 42 schedule is a bit long between buses but that is not the reponsibility of the apartment owner) and if necessary, it can be walked from downtown. This apartment is perfect for a family of 4 but our family of six was comfortable in the space making use of the pull out sofa bed. After being in many other places, this was great value for the money and our only regret was that we didn't spend mor time here. We would definitely go back and recommend to our friends."

"My family and I (inc 2 sons aged 17 months) spent 4 nights at the Causewayside apartment and found that there was everything there that we needed - the cot and highchair that we requested were ready to use and clean when we arrived there. It was beautifully decorated and our stay was very comfortable. A very pleasant stay and we would definitely stay here again, thanks Anna!"
