Excellent location and lots of space. No blinds or proper curtains made it difficult to sleep with street light



Katie replied 22 days ago
The apartment has traditional shutters which are excellent at blocking out the light, hence only light weight curtains are required. Sorry that you didn't realise what the shutters were for and close them.

Very nice place in a great location.

We stayed here for a long weekend, and the flat proved an excellent base from which to explore the city.

The flat itself is very well appointed - high quality furnishings, a generous amount of space (especially the huge bathroom!) and even antique books on the shelves. We made good use of the central heating and kept warm and cosy during the cold evenings.

The location makes it easy to get to all the major sights on foot, and there's even a farmers market on top of the car park outside on Saturdays - great for stocking up on local produce.

All in all, we woudn't hesitate to return here again.

Greatbase did it again! Never thought I would see Scotland again so soon. The location was excellent! Katie, as expected was an awesome hostess as last year! I cannot imagine using another company then Greatbase! Their attention to detail is unparalleled. It felt like coming home again! Cambridge was much more than we expected. Location! Location! Location! Could not imagine using another company. I cannot praise them enough. One of the most memorable vacations ever! Keep up the good work! Greatbase is excellent!!!!!

This apartment is just fantastic and we enjoyed a lot staying there. The kitchen and dining room have everything you need to prepare meals like at home, you can great time with you friends/family in the living room with the nice comfy sofas, and can bathe like a king in the magnificent bath room. Located in the best part of the city and many tourist spots can be accessed very easily. It has to be also mentioned that the staff is very welcoming and friendly!!

This is a very central location. Within walking distance of Royal Mile and New Town. Pub down the street. Groceries two blocks away. Only complaint was electrical outlets. Not enough in convenient places like by your bed. Outstanding customer service luggage had been lost had bag directed to office and staff delivered it to our apartment so I could go about my day. Thank you Katie!!! Great staff very communicative. Great stay!!!

Absolutely fantastic apartment! Very good situation close to old city, taxis and busses are just round the cornet.
Rooms are exceptional high, big and very beatifully furnished. Beds are absolutely comfortable and the rooms were well cleaned. Two bathrooms was practical in the morning, if there are staying four persons, just like our group (two couples). The kitchen is fully machined and containers are enough for several people. Two sets of keys was also good, because we didn´t go all the time all together.
We got very good information in advance about arrival and staying this apartment, staff were always responding positive to all inquiries. We got very friendly service and the check-out was flexible. We all were absolutely satisfied staying here and if possible, want to return here some day.

A great location! A large, very well equipped apartment. The only negative thing I have to say is that the check-in was not very flexible. We had multiple emails asking for a specific time, but it was really difficult to do when you are travelling across country in a car. We planned on being there at a certain time, and then were stuck in traffic for an hour and a half. We tried both phone numbers, including texting, and then sent an email, but we received no response until the next day. I know it is an individual apartment without on site reception, but would encourage improved communication, and an understanding that a specific time is difficult when there are many variables that are out of a person's control.

Spent four days in Edinburgh at the Cambridge St location. The apartment was far more spacious than expected. Very clean and comfortable. Very convenient to High Street, The Castle, shopping and dining. Despite a second floor apartment, the street noise was rarely noticeable. My only criticism is the shortage of towels. A small inconvenience for such a great location. Highly recommended.

This beautiful flat is in a great location and has everything you need, including a washer and dryer. This is our third stay in this flat since 2014 and it's a bit like coming home. The two bedrooms offer the option of being on the street with a castle view or overlooking a leafy, tranquil garden. We've rented other apartments from Greatbase, because their standards are so high, but this is our favorite.

The Cambridge Street apartment was awesome.
It was exactly as described and was perfect for a family of four.
It was spacious, clean and was an awesome location.
The two bathrooms and washer/drier were a bonus.
The location was great, it was quiet yet it was an easy walk to most locations.
We definitely recommend this location.

This apartment was everything you could ask for in an apartment, and so much more. Check in was a breeze; Greatbase Apartments was there to meet me on arrival and gave me a concise but helpful run-through of the apartment. The apartment was clean, well-furnished, and in excellent condition. The location could not be more ideal. The apartment is very close to the sights and center of Edinburgh, however it is located on a quiet and secluded street with an excellent view of the Edinburgh Castle. The apartment is perfect for both short and longs stays because of its generous size and excellent amenities. I would recommend this apartment for families looking to spend a weekend or longer in Edinburgh. Again, I couldn't recommend this place higher and would stay here again if I come back to Edinburgh.

The proximity to the castle was perfect! The milk, apples and cookies were such a thoughtful gift, too! We would definitely recommend the flat to our friends and family! We felt that we found a true gem!

We had an absolutely lovely stay at the Cambridge Street property. We were in town for 12 days and it was a perfectly located "home base" for all our Edinburgh explorations. Walking out the front door each morning and being greeted with a view of Edinburgh Castle, directly to your left, is a hard view to beat! The size of the apartment was plenty spacious for two adults and two teens with large rooms, big windows and high ceilings. Furnishings were tasteful, clean and comfortable. Especially loved the large, orange tiled, main bathroom! Internet access was fast and reliable. Beds were very comfortable all around and we were close to a number of grocery and drug stores for all needed amenities. A number of very good restaurants were also within walking distance of our place. Katie and the staff at Greatbase were great with answering questions and making sure we were clear with all the details right up front. Our flight arrived early in the morning, before our apartment was ready, so Katie met us at the main office and stored our luggage there for us until the apartment was ready that afternoon. We truly had an excellent time at Cambridge Street and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

This place was a perfect find. It was just as described on-line and central to everything. Katie and her mate, were extremely responsive and made the key exchange quite easy. If you are going to Edinburgh in a rainy, windy, wintry month I advise you to stay central, next to the "must see" sites, so you don't have to trudge through the elements for such a long time. You are then close to everything but then a quick bus ride or longer walk to the quainter less touristy bits. My only regret with the apartment is that I didn't take any pictures of myself in the large bathtub in the amazing pink bathroom.

This unit looks better in person than the photos. That rarely happens. Immaculate very nicely furnished unit. Loads of space (really big main bath). Nice quality linens and fantastic kitchen. Location is good - we walked everywhere.

As a frequent holiday apartments renter I can say with conviction this is the nicest unit we've rented (and we have rented in 20 locations).

Loved Edinburgh and will stay here in our next visit. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful, relaxing 3 night stay at this beautiful apartment! We had traveled to Edinburgh with our grown children and the apartment size, set-up and location could not have been better. We were able to walk everywhere, as the neighborhood was right by the Royal Mile, but also very quiet. There was not a thing missing, towels, extra blankets, kitchen conveniences, all were great. The Tesco right around the corner was convenient for groceries, wine, etc. We loved every minute and were quite taken with your amazing city!

This is the third time we've stayed in an apartment through Greatbase and the Cambridge Street apartment is now our favorite (though Blackie House is a close second). It is spacious, comfortable, bright and well equipped. The location is perfect, walking distance to most everything, but on a quiet street. We know that with Greatbase we will get a great apartment and very responsive service. We'll definitely return to this apartment.

We spent two lovely weeks on Cambridge Street. After nights in the comfortable beds, we went walking the streets of both Old and NewTown Edinburgh, took tours with Rabbie's, went by train to Glasgow. For lunch, we sampled lots of cafés and pubs but came back "home" most every evening to take advantage of the nice kitchen. Beeing the cook of the house, I was pleased to have the Saturday Farmer's Market at hand, that is 200 feet away, just below thw Castle, and grocery stores close by.
We are lovers of classical music ; we were lucky to attend two superb concert at Usher Hall, the very nice venue one minute away to the right of our doorstep.

Excellent situation for easy access to everything, comfortable and well equiped, this appartment was a jewel for us.

Couldn't ask for a better location. The view is spectacular and anything you could possible want to do or see is within walking distance. Katie and her staff were wonderful and she went out of her way to make sure everything was up to your standards.
Cambridge is a beautiful and comfortable place to spend your holiday or just a short get away
You really can't go wrong!!
