We stayed at The Rock View Apartment for just over a week during the Fringe in August.

Emil got in touch just after our flight arrived and met us at the apartment, where he gave us a tour to help us settle in. The apartment is in a good location at the bottom end of the Royal Mile, within walking distance of most of the places we visited during our stay (and as one member of our party struggles with stairs, we really appreciated having lift access). It was very nicely decorated and was a comfortable base for the four of us: the bedrooms were a little on the small side, but the beds were great and we appreciated the spacious built-in wardrobes. It was also really useful having two bathrooms between us. For provisions, Tesco Express is literally next door, which was another plus point, and on check-out day, we were able to leave our cases in the apartment for a couple of hours, which was a huge help and very much appreciated.

There were just a couple of (minor) negative points to mention. We could have done with a hand towel for the kitchen, a bigger tea towel (the one provided was tiny) and some cleaning cloths for the kitchen surfaces (we would expect these to be provided). We also would have preferred a coffee table in the lounge rather than the stool, as anyone sitting in the middle of the sofa had to either hold their drinks or put them on the floor. Finally, there were a couple of things the cleaners must have missed, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall we had a very good stay, and I would certainly recommend The Rock View Apartment to anyone looking for a base in Edinburgh.

Hi Pauline many thanks for taking the time to leave your review - it's lovely to hear that you enjoyed the location of the apartment to be very handy for exploring Edinburgh and conveniently situated near shops! We supply one full size tea towel and cleaning cloth in the kitchen as well as 2 normal towels per guest. There are 2 side tables in the living area and a tray is provided that can be used on the large central stool for drinks. I'm sorry that you thought there had been a couple of small areas of cleaning missed, my housekeepers are very fastidious - I have passed your feedback onto them. We do ask all of our guests to let us know straight away if there is anything that needs attention - we would have been round straight away to sort this if you had let us know! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and would look forward to welcoming you again!

The apartment was as advertised. Good location to Royal Mile, restaurants and drinking establishments. Ridge to Arthur’s Seat visible from balcony. Private parking a plus, since we were walking to most locales. Communication, directions and meeting host all no problem. Second bedroom on small side. Value good though during Fringe festival cost was at a premium.

We enjoyed staying at the Rock View Apartment very much. Check in was a breeze (thanks to Emil). An apartment that awaited was clean and smart. Well stocked kitchen with all the appliances (except a dryer). The only thing was that the floors creaked. Great location, close to the Royal Mile.

Great apartment with fabulous view in a great location 5 minutes from the Scottish parliament and the royal mile. Easy instructions and we were met at the address to collect the keys and be given an explanation of what to do.
Great friendly service from Jo having booked it pre Covid we went several years later than expected and would definitely recommend.

Firstly, the apartment was clean, bright and well equipped and all furniture and fittings of good quality. The hosts met us on time and were very helpful.
Secondly a perfect location for sightseeing around Edinburgh and a lovely view of Arthur’s seat.
Would we stay here again, most definitely

Loved the views of Salisbury Crags and the location. Very easy for Arthur’s Seat, Old Town and New Town.

Flat was clean and modern and is well equipped with everything you might need on a short city break.

May come again. Would recommend.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The location is excellent for proximity to the Royal Mile, Holyrood and the parkland along Queens Drive; the secure parking is a real bonus. There was very little open during our stay (whilst attending a funeral) but the nearby Tesco Express was adequate for food and provisions. Our only gripe was that the property was very cold when we arrived - it had been empty for some months - although it did warm up once the heating was increased. We would definitely consider staying here if we visit Edinburgh again.

Loved this apartment, it was clean, comfortable and ideally placed to explore Edinburgh.
The apartment was perfectly clean, and bed super comfortable......and huge!! There were only 2 of us in this 4 berth apartment, but would be spacious enough for 4 guests, given that there are 2 bathrooms. Comfortable sitting/dining room, with large TV for your entertainment. The kitchen, is small but well equipped. My only grumble, and it is one I have found in other holiday lets, is there was no cupboard available (other than the fridge) to store food. As we visited Edinburgh during the pandemic 'Firebreak', announced by the Scottish Parliament restaurants and pubs were closed, so we had to cater for ourselves. Not a problem as we brought food with us, but there was no cupboard in which to store groceries. All the other cupboards were full of kitchen equipment, crockery, glasses etc, which meant the worktop became quite cluttered.
One other thing my husband struggled with was the lack of a thermostat for the heating, maybe we missed it!! It would have been nice to turn down the temperature sometimes, as it was a little too warm for our liking.
Small points in an otherwise ideal apartment, a home away from home.
Loads to do in and around Edinburgh, even when the weather is unkind, would definitely come again.
