Enjoy a slice of the high life, at The Quartermile Residence No. 2. Sleeping up to two guests in style, this beautifully presented one bedroom apartment is located in the uber-cool Quartermile area – right on the edge of the Old Town, home to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. With sleek, thoughtful decor throughout, and all the mod cons the discerning traveller could ask for, we guarantee you’ll be the envy of your friends after a visit to The Quartermile Residence No. 2.

Bathed in light, the open plan living and kitchen area benefits from modern interiors and is the perfect space for relaxing after a long day’s sightseeing, or planning your next adventure. Whether you fancy yourself as the next Nigella, or just want to whip up a quick breakfast, the contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances is on hand.

Please note we do not provide hypoallergenic bedding at our properties.

The surrounding area is a truly unique development in the heart of Edinburgh's city centre. Named Quartermile as it is a quarter of a mile to Edinburgh Castle and also a quarter of a mile from corner to corner. It is a prestigious locale, home to a number of stylish bars, cafes and shops, with the meadows at its doorstep. Within the development itself lies A Sainsbury's, Starbucks coffee shop and Peters Yard, so you merely have to pop out of the front door to find yourself some great food or hot morning coffee. We also recommend that you take a stroll through the vast greenery in the heart of the city, or have a gander at the myriad of wonders in the National Museum of Scotland. If you’d like to check out the attractions of the Royal Mile and Princes Street, a mere ten-minute walk will lead you to both. If you’d like to venture further afield, there are bus stops located 100 metres from the property, serviced by the efficient Lothian Bus company. Edinburgh Waverley is also within walking distance, meaning you have the rest of Scotland at your fingertips to explore!

    Feefo rating: single minus Service:

    Tony was great at communication; quick and efficient, even though limited in what he could provide to make our stay better. The flat is in a great central location, but the flat is in very poor condition.

    The furniture was too old and definitely needs replacement, especially the couch and arm chair. It is damaged, ripped and not clean. I'm not sure why it's still kept. There were three windows, two of which couldn't be opened unless you put something to make sure it didn't close. Some light bulbs were not working and needed replacement, which was dealt with, but it did not feel professional to keep having handymen come to your vacation flat to fix things. This should've been replaced before our arrival.

    Another issue is that the freezer was not working, and we stayed for around three weeks without a freezer. This was a huge struggle for us. While they tried to fit in a new freezer, they had issues and couldn't do it. The agency provided no alternative or even cut down the price of the stay as a compromise. Mind you, this is not a hotel; it's a one-bedroom flat with a full kitchen, yet we can't benefit from it fully !

    The previous guest lost one of the keys, so we were only given one key for two weeks, and around the final week, they finally provided another key. During our stay, the sink pipe in the kitchen started leaking and caused the floors to stain, and, of course, the place was smelly for a couple of days. We even had inscets and bugs due to the leakage. The neighbors below us complained about the leakage too. Though the agency dealt with it quickly, as a tourist, this is something you don't want to experience on your vacation. The heaters/radiators were also leaking, and we had to put a bowl under them to make sure it caught the water. The place is advertised for three people, but it is definitely not enough to fit three! The price we paid was huge, and to be honest, we felt ripped off. The value of the money is not reflected in the place.

    I would not recommend the flat at all.
    The two stars are for location and easy communication.

    Our response

    We are sorry to hear you experienced some issues during your stay, and thank you for your feedback. As the Property Manager had the issues in hand, we didn't see a need to relocate you. If you had contacted us during your stay and intimated that you required relocation, we would have looked into this for you.
    With regards to the furniture, it is not dirty, but, the owner is a fan of shabby chic, but we do understand this is not to everyone's taste. When the Property Manager checked you in, he advised you that during his pre arrival checks at that time, a couple of light bulbs required replacing. However, this took a little longer than usual, as you requested different, brighter bulbs, which he was very happy to purchase and deliver back to you.

    We apologise for the disruption that the freezer caused to your stay. As explained at the time our Property Management are liaising with the Property Owner to arrange for a new freezer to be installed.

    It's unfortunate the previous guest lost a set of keys. Sadly, it isn't just a case of having new keys cut, it's a specific key fob that you need to order. The Property Manager gave you his spare key whilst waiting on the replacement.

    With regards to the flood, the plumber attended immediately, rectified the leak, and informed us that the water trap had been dislodged by over stocking the cupboard with groceries under the sink.

    Finally, the apartment sleeps a maximum of two guests (not three) and is advertised as such.

    There were a few incidents during your stay, but we attended and rectified all of them in a timely manner.


    We are sorry to hear you would not stay at this apartment again and hope, despite this, that you enjoyed your time in Edinburgh.

    Good communication with Tony who was there to meet us and explain evything.

    Feefo rating: single minus Product:

    Great position with wonderful views from bedroom and a lift. This is a flat that needs some love. We were told that the freezer was broken but there were also bulbs gone in the bathroom and living room, and flickering lights in the bathroom. The kitchen was not clean. I had to clean the mesh in the cooker hood immediately as it was brown and smelly with grease. This is an easy job but had obviously not been done for years. Kitchen equipment was random. No egg cups but a set of silicon cake cases. Also old food packets in a cupboard that had not been thrown away.
    All in all, like a rental from the nineties, I expect more for the price in 2022

    Our response

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We are glad you enjoyed meeting Tony on arrival and that you liked the great views from the property. Thank you for your comments on where the apartment can be improved - we will pass these onto the Property Management team and ask them to make the necessary improvements at the earliest opportunity. Please note the team are always contactable and would have been more than happy to assist with any of your concerns. We hope you enjoyed your time in Edinburgh and look forward to welcoming you to the city again soon.

    Everything worked.

    Feefo rating: single plus Product:

    This is a beautiful apartment in a lovely neighborhood. I very much enjoyed my almost two months of staying there. It's an excellent choice and I recommend it highly. It is well located, close to many coffee shops, supermarkets and to the main train station. It is also has a stunning view of the Meadows. The host was also very welcoming and helpful.

    The only problems were that the apartment could have been better insulated and the standard of cleaning was not high enough. The bin was grimy and gross. Some corners of the apartment were very dusty and unwelcoming. The dishwasher and the fridge were moldy. I had to let the dishwasher run before using it.

    All in all, if cleaning would be improved, it would be 5+ stars!

    Our response

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We are delighted that you had a good stay and enjoyed exploring the local area. Thank you for letting us know about the cleanliness issues - please be assured a full deep clean was carried out following your booking. Please also note that any of these concerns could have been addressed at the time had you contacted the Property Manager. Thank you again for staying with us - we hope to welcome you back again soon!
