Vacation rentals with a washer and dryer in Edinburgh Old Town

Everything went smoothly and the flat was clean, spacious, and quiet. The amenities, like washer and dryer, were wonderful. While the location was slightly off the common "tourist path," we actually appreciated that and it was an easy bus ride or Uber back to the flat each night. We also enjoyed the local pub and the food choices nearby. My only issue was the lack of communication about the 3 flights of stairs/no lift. This fact is mentioned in other reviews (as I see now), but not in the description of the property nor in the initial instructions for accessing the flat. The stairs themselves are not Ben's fault and as I learned on my 14-day journey through Ireland and the UK, accessibility is not a priority in these old cities. That's fine. But the lesson for me I guess is to read reviews a little more closely, as that's the only place the stairs are mentioned. I have bad knees so trekking up the stairs each night after a long day was, quite simply, torture. But still a great stay.

Lovely spot in a really great location. Check in was very easy, the apartment is very clean and has everything you could need. Can highly recommend.

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!

It a very nice place and accessible !!

Giovanna's place was perfect, clean and in the best location for a city break to Edinburgh! We had the best time and Giovanna did everything to make our stay enjoyable and easy! She was so communicative and eager to help! Many thanks for everything!

Very comfortable, clean and well equipped modern apartment (the only thing missing was a coffee maker). The heat worked very well. Despite being close to a busy street, the apartment was quiet, even for a picky sleeper like me, with good curtains and shades to keep out the morning light. The bed was big and comfortable. Being on the ground floor, it was somewhat dark, but we hadn't come to hang out there, so that was fine. Location was brilliant, being right down the steet from Haymarket train station and the Airlink bus. It's close to many food stores, cafes and restaurants and about a 20 minute walk from both Princes Street and an entrance to the Water of Leith walking path. Adam was very responsive to our questions during our stay. We would definitely stay there again!

Sally’s home was 5/5. It was so comfy, great location and a real home from home. Wish we could have stayed there longer and we would definitely come back. It was quiet too, just the perfect choice!

Very nice apartment with a nice decoration and all the necessary amenities. Very clean. The WiFi network does not always work very well depending on the location of the apartment. Great location on a street where there are many pubs or cafes (2 very close to the apartment offer great breakfast or brunch). Very close to everything. Good communication with Greg who is very responsive.

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.

Novel location in the middle of the city. Garage was a very nice safety aspect. Alley leading to place was a typical inner city side street that might be a little less predictable at night. We enjoyed how easy it was to walk anywhere and lots of close and great restaurants. Overall very happy with the place.

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. 🙏🙏♥️

My family had an absolutely amazing long weekend at Charles’ home. Kenneth supported a very smooth check-in and was super friendly and responsive. I really appreciated that the hosts were very responsive and also transparent about the feasibility of staying in their home with a baby. The home itself was spotlessly clean, had a beautiful kitchen, and was very peaceful to relax while watching the river flow by. We will be back!

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.

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

The apartment was easy to find, it is not in the city centre but there are bus stops nearby. We needed to take a bus very early in the morning to the airport and it was easy. The apartment is comfortable and large enough for four people. It is well furnished to have meals in the house. We enjoyed the welcome pack in the fridge. The conservatory and the rear garden are lovely. Enjoy your stay there!

Great place and very charming!! How was very nice and helpful. House had plenty of space, all the amenities you could want, easy bus stop access and close to grocery store. Would highly recommend staying here!!

The location of the flat is excellent, right in the heart of the Old Town. Edinburgh Castle is a short walk away and there are plenty of restaurants and shops around. The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable, everything was clean and all the necessary appliances were available, including a washer/dryer. Mr. Shahid is an excellent host, he had all the information available in a binder inside the flat and he was quick to help us with anything we needed. It was our first time booking an Airbnb and we were beyond satisfied! We recommend it without a doubt!

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.

We stayed at Catalina's place in April 2025 and enjoyed everything about it. The location was amazing, right on the Royal Mile a short walk to the Castle and to the train station. Be aware that the return walk from the station is uphill with lots of steps. Lots of great restaurants & bars within a short walk and a large grocery store 2 blocks away. The description of the apartment was accurate. We were 3 people but the apartment could comfortably accommodate 4 people. The beds were very comfortable, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable living area with large screen tv. Communication with Catalina was great before and after check-in. We enjoyed staying here very much and highly recommend it to others.

Thank you so much for your beautiful comfortable apartment. Walking distance from close by bus stops. Close to convenient shops. Lovely park for a morning stroll just across the apartment.

Amazing location - very close to everything you’d want to visit in Edinburgh. Super clean and loved that there was an iron. Will definitely stay again if we’re ever back in Edinburgh.

Very walkable. Literally right off the Royal Mile. Many street performers close by. Restaurants and shops close by. 10 minute walk to the castle. Someone with accessibility issues may have issues. Hill up to Royal Mile which is cobblestone and a bit steep. Other than that it’s a wonderful place in a wonderful location. Definitely recommend.

We had a great time. Very well located apartment, between the city center and botanical garden. Our host gave us all the right instructions. Great. We would recommend.

We stayed in Elizabeth’s place for our first couple of nights in Scotland. It was perfect and exactly what we needed! She was extremely accommodating to an early check in and met us right when we got there with instructions. The area is perfect and just a short walk to old town, new town and Stockbridge. Close to deans village! Beds were comfortable and everything was clean!
