Apartment holiday rentals in Shandon, Edinburgh

Great host, great apartment. Will be back next week

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!

Jonny was an excellent host, attentive communication, great local knowledge and picked us up from the station. The unit is an ideal base for exploring Edinburgh and well placed to walk to pubs, restaurants and other shops. The views of Salisbury Crags are stunning!

We had a great stay here, the apartment comfortably sleeps 4 people, it’s very clean, very cosy, home from home feel to it! The tram stop is a quick 5 minute walk, super handy and easy to access the city centre. There is an Aldi next door and the kitchen in the apartment is fully stocked with all the cooking utensils you could need. Would 100% stay here again for a future Edinburgh trip!

I felt like a celebrity in this beautiful and quiet flat, right off the main action of Edinburghs center. The bed was comfy and had sparkling white sheets. The bathtub was just perfect for a soak after all the walking we did. The kitchen set up was perfectly stocked with tea, coffee and breakfast essentials, plus or host gave us great info on local shops for any other needs. We got the inside scoop on some of the best local restaurants and bars. Oh! And a jar of homemade Scottish Shortbread greeted us on our arrival! Absolutely worth every penny, and every step it takes to get to the flat. I didn't want to leave this chic little jewel in Edinburgh.

Perfectly located penthouse right on the royal mile with private access. Great shops and restaurants nearby and the apartment is very spacious and clean with all the amenities you need. Would definitely stay here again when in Edinburgh.

Amazing location in the middle of everything. You can walk to a lot of different places. The condo was great! Spacious and very warm. Accommodate my family of 10 very comfortably. Will definitely stay here again.

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

What a wonderful stay! Nestled in Stockbridge with pubs and coffeeshops only a stones throw away this was a great find. Don't stay up on Royal Mile where the tourist are thick and the atmosphere is loud. Stockbridge is a much calmer place to enjoy Edinburgh as so many things are only a short walk away. Be sureto take the Water of Leith walkway for beautiful pics and visit the botanical gardens.

Samantha's home was beautiful, the photos dont do it justice! would highly recommend! very central and ideal for our family's stay. Will definitely book again when next through in Edinburgh

Me and my friends stayed at Lee’s place for one night and enjoyed it a lot. The place was clean and cosy with everything we needed for our stay. Beds were comfortable and the living room was a good place to hang out. Would definitely stay again when in the area.

there are no words for how beautiful! the location is absolutely perfect. the building itself was beautiful, it was so hard to say goodbye! the host was wonderful and i’d recommend anyone who’s visiting to stay there!

Annie's place was wonderful. The flat was in a great location, easy walking distance to old City Edinburgh (20 min or so). It was nice to be staying outside of the city business! Excellent local cafes, restaurants and shops! Annie was very responsive to questions and provided great recommendations as we were visiting from the states. We would stay again and would highly recommend!

Fantastic spot to stay during a visit to Edinburgh, very easy to travel and see the city from and lots of options close by for stocking up or eating/drinking out. Rooms were lovely and Axel accommodated us perfectly to suit the needs of those of us staying, cannot recommend more for those in a group or family and the tram is close by to make the most of your time in such a nice city.

Mark went above and beyond with his communication and he made sure that we were settled in and had everything we needed. His place was in a great location, so close to all the major sight-seeing locations. It was spacious, clean, and had great accommodations. I loved how the kitchen had variety of teas, Nespresso, the wide arrangement of spices and a bunch of other amenities that just made us feel at home. definitely recommend this place for anyone that wants a comfortable stay that's in the heart of Eidenburgh:)

Great place for a stopover travelling up to Shetland. Lovely walks from the door. Comfortable annex would stay again.

We had a great stay at Ollie's apartment in April 2025. It's very close to Haymarket station, and all the amenities you need are on the doorstep. The flat is clean, tidy and secure, and it was great to be able to use the pool next door. We'd love to stay again!

I spent nearly four months in Wendy's accommodation. I had a great time there! The apartment itself offers great views, and the room is very comfortable. It is easily accessible by bus and has a good connection to the city centre and main University Campus, as well as being close to a big supermarket and the beach. Being on the outskirts of the city and by the sea, it made it very easy to find peace, walking along the beach or visiting my personal favourite place, Newhailes Estate. For those coming to study here: the bus connection to the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings is not great, especially on the way back, and if you'll have to be there a lot I'd recommend getting a bicycle, which is about twice as fast. Wendy is a very friendly host, who is usually not home during the day but if you run into her and she has time she will be open for a chat - for example sharing stories or music. She loves baking, and might leave something she made in the fridge for you!

Alan is a friendly host, and was very helpful when we needed anything. The place was super clean, the room was a perfect size for 2 people. The area is good, with groceries stores around and a couple of buses that take you central in 25-30mins. Overall, really enjoyed my stay!

Ollie is very friendly and good host... He inform us about everything in good time, lovely flat and good area... Recomend!
