Access Arrangements
A "meet and greet" service is operated , whereby you will be met at a property at a pre-arranged time to give access. Full instructions of this procedure can be found in the secure guest area after a booking has been completed. It is very important that an approximate arrival time is provided before arrival for this process. Entry is from 14:00 onwards but if nobody has booked to depart on your day of arrival it will probably be very suitable for us to give you entry as early as possible. Departure is by 10am (a guaranteed late departure up to 20:00 can be obtained for 50% of that daily rate. Please contact us if you want to utilise this facility and a price will be calculated).
Please note that arrivals after 19:00 will incur a range of late arrival fee.
**LATE ARRIVAL: fees, 19:00 - 22:30 - 15 pounds, 22:31 - 00:00 - 30 pounds and 00:01 - 02:00 - 50 pounds. The latest access can be given is 02:00, otherwise it is given at 08:00 the next day. ESC accept no liability for any costs involved in alternative accommodation for this 6 hour period.
A deposit of 25% is payable on booking and the outstanding balance of the rental price must be received 2 months prior to your arrival date. For bookings made less than eight weeks before your arrival date the whole rental price falls payable at the time of booking. Please note that a separate 200 pounds refundable key/security deposit must be provided prior to arrival. This is rescinded 5 days after departure.

Very nice and cosy apartment. 2 little rooms that are perfectly enough pour 2 people. The bedroom is especially sweet. Regarding the location, it's hard to be more central, with a view on the main street of Edinburgh, Royal Mile. However, it is very quiet. We slept very well thanks to thick curtains and a comfortable bed. I recommend this flat if you want to spend a few days in Edinburgh.

Ideal location for arriving and departing via Waverley. Plenty happening on Royal Mile but up on 2nd floor noise isn't an issue. Handy for a wide range of eating options, Vittoria on GIV Bridge and Steak&Mussel in Grassmarket are particularly good. Property is not huge but much bigger than a hotel room for similar cost - lounge seating is comfy and bed is good. Great for two people - wouldn't fancy four!

The apartment was lovely and its location was excellent - within walking distance to a number of major attractions and public transport. We stayed with four people which was a bit squishy but not uncomfortable.
