Beautiful house, great location

We all loved it. A beautiful property within walking distance to shopping as well 'downtown' Edinburgh, the castle and various museums. We had everything we needed and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again!

Great property, great location

Stayed with our extended family for 4 nights in January 2023. The apartment is amazing and location is absolutely perfect for exploring Edinburgh. Close to buses, shops and some great coffee shops, we could not have asked for more.

Beautiful location

Our stay at the Upper Villa was a perfect fit for our family. It had everything we needed and was very close to walk to all the attractions. Rona was also very attentive and helpful when we had questions. We would definitely return again. Thank you again for opening your home to us.

Sensational house!

Absolutely gorgeous house that is on a quiet street, but still a short walk from the royal mile, Edinburgh castle, etc. We never needed our car while there, and if we didn’t feel like walking, there were bus stops close by. The house was beautiful, and I felt like royalty staying here. The hosts were so sweet and responsive, I will 100% stay here again if I return to Edinburgh!

Great location!

We have really enjoyed our stay at the upper villa! A lot of space for two grown ups and 6 teenagers, and a beautiful house. This was our first stay in Edinburgh, but not our last. Thank you!

Wonderful, fun, apartment!

We had a great time staying here and wished we could stay forever! We were a group of 2 couples and 2 singles so the size was absolutely perfect. We loved being within walking distance of so many shops and restaurants. Rona was so kind and left the kitchen stocked with the essentials of coffee, tea, milk bread and cheese, so great! The beds were big and comfortable, we were able to do laundry, played games in the living room and enjoyed warm showers with great water pressure. We would highly recommend this place, great price, great location and excellent hosts!

Guestbook Comment

This very cute apartment comfortably accomodated our party of six (3 adults and 3 teenagers). The rooms were smartly decorated, appliances are modern and we felt the layout was just right. We were able to get groceries nearby and also enjoyed eating out our first night. The owners were very gracious and friendly. We highly recommend this place and it will be our choice of stay when we return to Edinburgh.

Lovely location, great house, not so good for oldies

We really enjoyed our time at Comely Bank, the house is lovely, and the location is convenient for taxi-ing into central Edinburgh. It was restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. However, most of our party were 70+ years old, and the need to step in an out of the bath on the upper floor in order to take a shower was a bit of a concern, as there were no grab bars on the walls. This would make our party think twice about staying there again. But other than that, all was good!

Absolutely Amazing Home

I loved the accommodations and used the word "Home" in the title because I felt at home, The home has spacious bedroom and a wonderful dining area and family room. The Kitchen was well equipped and we actually cooked a few meals during our 5 days stay. Bus stop out front just a few steps away. The beautiful fireplaces, crown molding and lovely decor was like a 5 star hotel just with more room and a full kitchen. The owners responded with a few minutes with a couple questions we had during our stay. There we ample number of door keys for large family or friends. Beds were very comfortable and enjoys the rooms with the king size beds and queen size beds. 2

Our family of 6 adults stayed in this apartment for 2 weeks. Out daughter got married in Edinburgh and we did some sight seeing at the same time. The apartment was clean bright and everything as advertised. Plenty of room for everybody to enjoy time together in the living room/dining room area. A warm and welcoming home away from home. we walked in 15 Min to downtown Edinburgh.Enjoyed the 5 min. walk to Stockbridge with its own charm, stores,restaurant and Sunday morning fresh market. Walked to the botanical garden and the bus took us in now time to the train station and the nearby Royal mile.I can only recommend this place the Hauser's

Wir sind mit 7 Personen in Stockbridge angekommen und das Haus war schon von aussen eine wahrer Augenöffner. Im Inneren wurden wir für unsere lange Fahrt belohnt. Leider haben wir Rona und Howard nicht kennengelernt. Aber danke für alles

Amazing property

We cannot recommend this apartment enough! It is even better than the pictures look. The living room is grand, the bedrooms are a great size and a lovely kitchen. The neighbourhood is just 15-20 mins walk from the city centre and a beautiful area. We had a group of 8 adults staying and had plenty of space, it was great. Entry process was simple and contact from host made everything about the apartment and area really clear. They even left a loaf of bread, tea and coffee for us which is a lovely touch.

UNA CASA ESPECTACULAR

Lo primero es agradecer a Rona su atención, es una mujer fantástica y tenía la casa preciosa y muy cuidada. Es un placer hospedarse en una casa donde realmente te sientes como en la tuya. Todos los detalles cuidados al máximo nivel (mantequilla, leche, pan). Las sábanas muy limpias y con un olor extraordinario. La ubicación es perfecta a unos 15 minutos a pie del centro de la ciudad y con buenas conexiones de bus. Se encuentra en un barrio muy bonito y tranquilo, donde hacer la compra es cuestión de 5 minutos andando. Ojalá algún día volvamos a esta preciosa ciudad y seguro que a esta maravillosa casa. Gracias Rona.

Amazing flat, great neighborhood

My husband and I brought our four kids (6-12) to Edinburgh for the first time and fell in love with this flat and the city. We plan to stay here again when we return. After a whirlwind week in Ireland, we were excited to have three whole nights in the same place, and it was heaven to be able to spread out -the upstairs bedroom with bookshelves and window seat couldn’t be more charming, but all of the rooms were so lovely, and comfy beds to boot. We loved the surrounding neighborhood and found it to be the perfect home base with lots to offer away from the hustle and bustle but also convenient to the city centre. We took the bus down each day. Excellent communication with Rona and, as I told her upon our arrival, this was the first place that we rented on our trip that I felt met and even exceeded its online description. Highly recommend.
