We loved our stay here. The location was charming and located close to everything we needed. Easy access to public transportation.

This quaint flat (on two levels) has two bathrooms, two bedrooms, with comfortable beds and linens. There was laundry with both washer and dryer. The kitchen was nice with a small fridge and dishwasher. Toaster (watch that toast, the toaster had been left on high, and we inadvertently set off the smoke alarm). Lovely back garden.

Because we arrived and left on weekend days, we didn’t really interact with staff in person. However, staff were accessible by phone and email and quickly helped us when needed. We easily picked up our key from the lockbox at their office location situated nearby.

This flat was everything we needed for our visit to Edinburgh.

Things to think about: if you have small children or mobility issues, the open spiral staircase between levels is something to consider. For us, it was just another charming feature of the flat. But it could be a safety concern for parents of an active toddler.

Thank you, Greatbase Apartments, we enjoyed our stay.

We loved the Circus Lane apartment; it was perfect for our needs, and so nice to have a private outside area to use. The quiet lane was a great location for access to things like the Water of Leith pathway and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Being there in mid-May meant that there were a lot of flowers in bloom along the street, which was lovely (there were a lot of folks wandering down the street to just take photos). We would definitely stay there again!

An attractive mews cottage in Central Edinburgh. On the whole a clean modern interior for a comfortable stay.
A few tweeks such as teatowels and waste bins in the bathrooms would have been good .

Between Edinburgh’s New Town and Stockbridge- this flat is in a very quiet street while being easy walking distance to everything in the city centre. There are lovely restaurants and bars nearby. It was immaculately clean and very comfy. Nearby is a pretty walk along Leith Waters to the National Gallery of Modern Art. A perfect location for a city break.

We had a lovely 3-night stay. Brilliant location & a great apartment, had everything we needed. Very, very comfy beds & linen and lovely & quiet as the bedrooms were at the back. Short walk to the Stockbridge shops or a Sainsburys around the corner just up the hill. Apartment had 1 bedroom with ensuite, (great shower) leading to a cute garden downstairs and the other bedroom, bathroom (with bath) lounge & kitchen upstairs. If we visit Edinburgh again in the future we would have no hesitation in booking again

We had a short 4 day break away planned for last year (2020) but for obvious reasons it had to be cancelled. I managed to book the same location, Circus Lane in Edinburgh for this year. Contact was good with the Greatbase team and on the day we were due to arrive I had to phone them to say that we were going to be late due to train problems (another story) and it was no problem whatsoever, we simply arranged a new time to meet to be let in and shown around our apartment. The place was lovely with everything that we required for our stay. We like to walk and walked everywhere apart from the day we went to take a look at the Forth Bridge, we covered 36 miles in 3 full days, had a few meals out and a few beers along the way. We would recommend Greatbase Apartments Ltd for a break.

We came to Edinburgh for two days, with our young children. This is an amazingly central location, but yet on a quiet street, so our sleep was uninterrupted. There are lots of great looking pubs, restaurants and cafes right in the area, which if we came without our kids, we would have definitely visited.

The house itself is great, two very comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, plenty of space, and a well functioning kitchen. They had also very thoughtfully left us a fresh bag of coffee.

All in all, a great location, and great hospitality. When we come back, we will definitely try and book this place again.

Fantastic place to stay. I was there for 3 months and the place was very central in a beautiful road. The Greatbase team responded very quickly to any problems or queries I had with the place. Extremely lovely and welcoming neighbours which made the stay even more enjoyable. I recommend anyone to book with Greatbase for this home as you will not be disappointed.



Lovely place to stay in a fantastic location.

We have stayed here before and the reason we stayed here was it is excellent and in a quiet area, close to good bars and Restaurants but near enough to the centre of town, the rooms was clean and tidy and with nice touches in the house like a washing machine and dryer, but we did not need them this year, looking to book next year

Fantastic little place to stay in Edinburgh for a short break. Could have quite happily stayed there longer, Very handy for shops in city centre and local bistros; bars and eclectic mix of little independent retailers on the doorstep - including the cheese shop which is well worth the visit.
Only down side for me were the cobbled streets - not easy to walk on when you have a dodgy hip...
Would highly recommend it for a couple for a romantic short break. Greatbase staff very knowledgeable about the area and extremely helpful on parking.. Thank you -
Will book again for a return visit in the New Year.. Loved Edinburgh, Beautiful city and very clean.

The apartment was in a great location, what I would say is that the upstairs bedroom really needed somewhere to put your case and clothes. I would recommend that the living room also had extra comfortable seating although there was a sofa which seated three people it would be more comfortable with an extra single chair. The apartment needs a little work: broken tiles(kitchen) bin in the kitchen needs replacing. Luckily we did not go to stay in and enjoyed the view form the apartment, location was stunning.

Indeed a great base to explore Edinburgh from. We enjoyed the well appointed and clean apartment in a very quiet residential area of Edinburgh. It was a short walk to the city center and the cool neighborhood of Stockbridge. We were also easily able to catch buses to anywhere we wanted to go and we felt like we lived as locals for a week. Great place for a family to stay with two floors and bedrooms. Also a short stumble from a locals pub, the St. Vincent. Rather than staying in the busy High St./Royal Mile area we will definitely choose this location again as it was closer to everything we wanted to see as tourists and for the week we spent also attending a conference at the Edinburgh International Conference Center.

Delightful accommodation in a fantastic location. House immaculate with plenty of essential bathroom items and refreshments.
Comfortable beds and good quality linen and towels. Access to house was made easy by your staff and Maeve was extremely helpful on arrival.
Will certainly return to Edinburgh and book this house in Circle Lane again, will also recommend to friends and family.
The fresh flowers was a lovely gesture.

Nice quiet place, 10 min walk to City center. Clean, and we had nothing to complaint over. We were meet on time and handed over the keys, and we were informed about the sights in Edinburgh. And transport back to the airport was also arranged with no problem. So if you need 2 bedrooms it is vert recommeded.

This is a lovely apartment with one bed room and a bathroom on each floor. The location is great, very scenic circus lane where many movies scenes were shot. There is a nice bar just one minute away. It's only about 12 min to the royal mile.
The management staff are super friendly, helpful.
Great place to stay!

We had a wonderful stay.
We had plenty of space, and everything we needed.
The beds were comfortable, and everything was clean.
A pub just around the corner, and a grocerystore and cafe in the nabourhood.
Not far from buses and tram.

The Circus Lane house is a quirky mews house in a beautiful lane in Stockbridge. We loved all its character and comforts. We instantly felt at home and enjoyed being in such a pretty location. (Climbing the hill back into town was a bit of a challenge but we found the bus stop at the end of the lane very handy and buses ran frequently).

The house was everything we hoped for. It had all of the home comforts a family needs for a week away. The washing machine and tumble dryer were really handy, as we had travelled with hand luggage only. The location of the house was so picturesque, with the high street at Stockbridge having all of the essential shops plus lots of interesting boutiques, cafes and restaurants.

Circus Lane was an excellent location for us, we were able to walk everywhere.
Lots of good restaurants in the area.
All the maps and restaurant suggestions in the apartment were very helpful.
Had a little difficulty with the door locks. (Perhaps operator error)
Also had to call Katie to figure out the electrical plugin had to be turned on.

It was wonderful to stay in Circus Lane. It is a very comfortable house in a quiet, pretty street. Great location to walk everywhere or get a quick bus into centre of Edinburgh. All excellent but with one downside which didn't affect us. There were only two of us staying there, but with one two seater sofa and one armchair in the living room, if more of you were staying, there are not enough soft chairs
