Everything went smoothly. However, any contact was more with the owner herself.
It was a nice, clean, well-equipped and furnished apartment in a good location, with easy access to the city centre, station and shops.
We enjoyed staying there overall and there were just a couple of things that would have made it even better: the key to the apartment is VERY tricky and opening the door can take quite a long time, which is very frustrating. As for the bedrooms, we couldn't get the convector heaters to work so it was a trifle chilly in there. We also found the mattresses in both bedrooms rather hard. I realise everyone's idea of comfort is entirely personal but maybe some mattress toppers would make the experience better?

This was our second stay at this lovely apartment. It is clean, comfortably outfitted, and very convenient. From the beautiful bouquet on the table at arrival, to the owner painted art on the walls, to the ease of departure, there's nothing we would change.
Everything we needed to make out visit to Edinburgh enjoyable.

Thank you so much for your kind review. We really are glad you enjoyed your second stay here as much as you did your first!

The apartment was warm and decorated for Christmas plus we had been left a bottle of cava to celebrate. We often stay here and it never disappoints. It is conveniently situated for shopping, eating out and buses into the city.
Supplied with all basics ( condiments, tea, coffee, olive oil etc) and has a washer/drier for laundry. Very well supplied with kitchen utensils if you are eating in and is also next door to a pizza takeaway.

What a perfect place to stay for our little family. We arrived after a long drive to a beautifully hand painted card, flowers and biscuits. The flat was immaculate and entry easy with the key safe system. The location was great going into the city centre as well as exploring the outskirts and places like Gullane. Next time we might take the Edinburgh address’s campervan for a few nights in the highlands too!
Easy to book, excellent customer service and wonderful apartment.

All fine apart from the deposit arrangements - why not return funds immediately, or better still not debit unless needed..
Great apartment, very well equipped and furnished to a high standard, with lots of thoughtful touches that made us very comfortable.

About the damage deposit, we really appreciate your valuable feedback. Although being a local business is what makes us special, we don't have the facilities of big chains and we require a damage deposit to keep owners' homes safe. We refund the deposit 7 days after check-out to investigate any claims of damages and secure the best outcome for all parties involved.

The apartment was superb. Well appointed and spotlessly clean. It was quiet all week.
The location for us, was perfect, a 10 minute stroll into town, through the Meadows was a treat. The welcome gift and flowers from Alison were a lovely touch. Simon, Jude, Beth and Livvy.
Top notch. Very clear communications and fantastic service. Great apartment, comfortable and quiet.

The communications from start to finish were excellent. Alison the manager does a great job.
The apartment itself was very well kitted out and very comfortable (The pillows especially.)
The poisition is only a quick bus/taxi ride away from city centre. The location is super with “the Swamy” local pub and a well stocked Tesco express within 50 yards.

Booking was straightforward. Host and managing company communications were clear and prompt with useful, friendly advice provided. Access was clear and our arrival was straightforward. The apartment was clean and bright. The location was excellent for Summerhall and a short walk to the Meadows. No problems with any Uber or Deliveroo drivers finding the apartment. Thank you for a great stay.

Great place within walking distance of the city centre. Parking is a hassle - go for a 24h garage (what we ended up doing). Clean & tidy and surely a good option when visiting Edinburgh :-)

Colleague and I had a good stay at this apartment. House had everything we needed. Lots of good amenities and shops nearby. Daisy/Alison were very friendly and responsive. Would stay again.

Nice apartment just as described. Good amenities. The flat is run by a management company meaning there were some additional checks. Check in/out times were slightly different than advertised on Airbnb.

The flat is on a quiet street with some nice shops and restaurants within 10 minutes walk. It is spacious, sparkling clean and has everything we need for family trip. We like the layout a lot and feel like staying in our home.

"Tasteful Comfort in a Good Location
Left on Jan 16, 2016 for a stay in Dec 2015
This apartment had the best equipped kitchen we have experienced. The rooms were well appointed and decorated to make them comfortable, yet roomy.
We really appreciated the washer/dryer! The water colours on the walls, which we assume were done by the owner, were lovely.
The owner greeted us with a delightful winter bouquet and mince tarts, which made us feel very welcomed.. We had fun food shopping in the area and appreciated the owner's recommendations.
We walked everywhere from the apartment. Edinburgh Address staff were very helpful and pleasant to deal with in processing the rental and very prompt with the return of our deposit."

"Dear Siobhan, Dear Hatty,
we would like to thank you very much for all you support and for making our first two months in Edinburgh a real pleasant experience. The apartment was great and your group worked really hard to make us feel at home and supported.
Please send our thanks also to Alison and to all the other members of your staff.
Best regards,
Stefano and Laura"

The owner that met us at the property was very helpful giving sound advice on how to use internal appliances, local amenities and transport links. Service proved by The Edinburgh Address was of a high standard. Staff were very helpful when contacted with queries."

The apartment was very good value and worked very well for us, right size, location spot on, having the extras such as tea, dish washing soap, clothing detergents etc made a huge difference as we did not need to purchase that. Loved the Organic store/cafe round the corner and certainly found buses and taxi's worked very well for us definitely did not need a car.
Was fantastic to be met by the owner Alison and her explanation on how everything worked was a great help especially coming from a different country where little things like garbage sorting etc is often very different. We loved our stay in the apartment it was like a home from home.

Very good value. I think there is no way to improve the acommodation it was impressive. In our opinion the apartment it's great and it was better than we expected so for us it's a 10 over 10. Every thing related to payment, access to the apartment, getting the keys was easy and friendly, we're very happy.

"The apartment was delightful! Light and airy, well furnished, and very well resourced. A real home from home. A little way out of the centre, but then we needed the exercise, so no problems.
Good, efficient service with regards to communication. The provision of toiletries, tea and coffee, salt and pepper, and even a little olive oil and red wine vinegar was much appreciated."

"When we arrived at the apartment we were very pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and size of the overall apartment. It had such a homely feel that we found it to be perfect. It was also extremely well equipped and had all of the essentials that we required. The apartment had a modern décor and was the perfect accommodation for celebrating the Hogmany festival. I would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone travelling to Edinburgh and hopefully I will be personally re-booking the apartment when I am next in Edinburgh.
The Edinburgh Address were a hassle free service who provided over and beyond what we expected. The flat was of a very high standard and all of our requests such as late check in & late check out were completed without a single problem. The apartment was so amazing that I actually wish I lived there!! I would like to thank all of the Edinburgh address team for making our Hogmany and my 25th Birthday such a fantastic break."

Local amenities were more than adequate for day to day bits and bobs and location was ideal, close enough to city centre for easy visiting but far enough away for quieter evenings. The apartment was kitted out to a very high standard and was spotless. Will definitely recommend to friends and family."

"We just returned from our vacation to England, Scotland, France and Italy. While away we stayed at five different self catering accomodations. My entire family agrees (6 of us) that the Causwayside was the best of all of them. The apartment was clean, newly renovated, warm and welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. The fresh flowers and fruit we received on our arrival made for a warm welcome and the specialty bars of soap and lotions in the bathroom gave a pampered feel to the place. It was easy to get to by public transit (however the bus line 42 schedule is a bit long between buses but that is not the reponsibility of the apartment owner) and if necessary, it can be walked from downtown. This apartment is perfect for a family of 4 but our family of six was comfortable in the space making use of the pull out sofa bed. After being in many other places, this was great value for the money and our only regret was that we didn't spend mor time here. We would definitely go back and recommend to our friends."
