Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Edinburgh Old Town

The house was absolutely perfect in every way. Plenty of space to comfortably accomodate 6 people. The location is excellent; quiet but close to amenities and transport into town. Di was a sensational host, and the house had the best home feel we have ever had in an air bnb experience. The kitchen is extremely well equipped which is a nice bonus. I highly recommend this air BnB.

Great stay! The location is super convenient—Tesco Express is just around the corner, a local shop is two minutes away, and there’s a lovely park nearby that’s perfect if you have pets.Anzelika is incredibly responsive, flexible, and friendly. She even offered us an extra hour to check out, and later extended it by another hour, even though we didn’t end up needing it. The home itself is very cozy, spacious, and well-equipped—you’ll find everything you need in the kitchen. We even managed to park our SUV inside the property, which was a big plus. The overall vibe of the place is really welcoming. Loved the stay and would definitely recommend.

I stayed at this wonderful property for a few days right after getting married, kicking off my honeymoon while also showing my new in-laws some of the best parts of the UK. The entire family had a great time here—it’s clean, very spacious, and truly felt like home. We did run into a minor issue with a bathroom leak (a bit of bad luck on my part, I suppose), but the host was incredibly responsive and did everything they could to resolve it quickly. I really appreciate how it was handled and am grateful for the prompt attention. Overall, I highly recommend this lovely property. If I’m ever in Edinburgh again with family or friends, I’d definitely check if this place is available before considering other options in the Old Town area. A big thank you to the superhosts for your kindness, patience, and excellent communication in making sure everything went smoothly during our stay. 🙏🙏♥️

By far the nicest alr bnb I have ever stayed in. It is heaven on earth. Owners were very responsive and everything exceeded expectations

Laura's airbnb was in a perfect spot in Leith. It was easy to walk to restaurants/pubs and catching the city bus to the centre was easy. The place was clean. The heat worked so well we were overly toasty. Laura provides info on how to get the heat to work and lots of little extras to make our stay in the city better. There was a TV and a kitchen but we spent most of our time in the city exploring so we can't speak to these items. The wifi worked WONDERFULLY. The place was simple which was exactly what we wanted. A huge positive was the reserve parking spot (Do NOT park in any other spot since a few cars got boots on them while we were leaving). The area is also safe and quiet, which was perfect since we do not live in the city. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

This is let is worth a visit if you are a family or in a group. It's a peaceful location with off-road parking. We all had a room to ourselves and there are nice places to relax in the house. We were able to walk 5 minutes to the tram stop and be in Edinburgh centre in 20 minutes or so. You can make the best of Edinburgh when staying. Usman is very hospitable and will meet and show you round himself. He communicated well for us and was flexible with when we could check in. This proved very helpful on the day! I would recommend staying here, it's a nice place.

Wonderful place! Close to the Airport. House has amazing views and a small backyard.

Everything was fine. A bit away from the center. But quiet and nice

Traveled to Edinburgh in April with two young children. This apartment was an excellent location to explore Edinburgh and also get to and from Waverly. Everything was clean, all the amenities were easy to use. It was particularly nice to have a washing machine and drying rack. The hosts were also very responsive and provided lots of nice recommendations. The pub just next to the apartment on the street is not to be missed.

Slawomir was a great host. Showed us around the apartment with instructions and recommendations. He responded quickly and meet us after we checked out as something was left behind in a drawer. The apartment was well equipped with the basics and some extras such as umbrellas, spices, tea etc. Highly recommend and we would not hesitate to return should we go back to Edinburgh.

The flat was warm, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We didn’t cook but the kitchen was very well equipped. It is in a great location, only a couple of minutes walk to vibrant Stockbridge, but not noisy. The hosts were easy to contact and very helpful. We would definitely choose to stay there again.

Excellent flat in a great location next to a tram stop. Very clean and well looked after. Highly recommended!

What a gorgeous apartment and wonderful host! First timers to Edinburgh, rest assured. This place is easy to find, about a twenty minute walk from waverley station and fifteen to anywhere else! The castle, shops, restaurants , walking tours etc.. Canongate is the tail end of the Royal Mile which starts at the castle, slopes down and becomes the High Street, then becomes Canongate. So it’s all the same road. Richard is an excellent communicator and will meet you. The apartment itself is lovely with stunning views! This was my second stay and it was as delightful as the first. Highly recommend!

Had a fab 2 week stay at Caz & Susan’s Stockbridge flat. Location is great. Place was spotlessly clean. And Caz & Susan are great hosts; clear instructions for arrival and checkout, super responsive when I had the odd query. Would definitely recommend.

Sue And Grant were always very helpful, helped us in every possible way, responded quickly to our questions and made us feel at home. The Apartment is very well located, close to bus stops and 15m from the center. Although it is a small space, it is very well equipped, monetized and decorated, being the only less positive aspect, the quality of the bed mattress (soft and uncomfortable, at least for us). It is well worth it all the whole town, we came back without a second thought.

Apartment was lovely and in a great location for seeing the sights in Edinburgh. Keith was extremely responsive and ready to help with all of our questions

As a Fifer, it’s always nice to come back and stay. Craigs place was easy to find, spacious and spotlessly clean, and Burntisland is a lovely town. I would certainly stay at Craigs again.

Fantastic dwelling, great location and excellent hosts. We will definitely look to return to Edinburgh in the future and seek this residence as well as highly recommending it to our friends and family. Our hosts Mark and Dayna were wonderful especially with their wonderful gesture of allowing us to stay an extra night, free of charge, due to The Hogmanay Festival being cancelled. Thank you again. Nevertheless a wonderful visit to Edinburgh underpinned by an excellent apartment and generous hosts.

Amazing location close to everything! 5 minutes from the station, just of Princes Street, yet quiet at night due to thick walls and good couble glazing. Nicely decorated place with a super lounge area. Great communicative hosts, even enabled us to extend our check out a little bit which was really helpful. Would definitely recommend, and would return in a heart beat.

Brilliant stay at Lee’s place! Everything was spotless, comfortable and as stated in the description. Lee was very helpful at answering any questions I had and very responsive. Thank you for a great stay!

Great appartement, great location, our host was very reactive and lovely! Must go for your stay in Edinburgh

My best friend and I had an amazing Stay, Grace is a wonderful friendly host and the accommodation is spotless and had everything we required for our stay xx

First of all, Ryan let me drop my bags at the flat around 11A, which was SO nice, and opened up my options for day #1 sightseeing. The flat is in a great location: away from the hubbub of Princes Street (where I spent the first two nights due to a change in plans, and don’t get me wrong, Princes Street is great, but it’s hopping), but 11 stops (22 min) on the 10 bus from Princes Street, if that’s where you’re headed. Two highlights: 1) The laundry game here is STRONG, including a descending drying rack in the laundry room which I’m 100% going to copy as soon as I get home. 2) GREAT shower. I used the tub mat, because if I fall in the shower, it’s going to be bad. 3) Convenience store across the street, Lidl (grocery) within a mile walk. Take your bag to both, as a reminder (I had to run back across the street). Thanks, Ryan. I hope to be back next year for the Edinburgh curling tournament. John

Great flat in a great location, with very receptive hosts. Bathrooms could do with a really deep clean- that’s the only negative.
