    I had an amazing stay at the apartment over two levels, giving it a lovely spacious feel. the location couldn't have been better, with easy access to all the attractions in the area. the apartment was impeccably clean and well-maintained. the host, Ivy, was excellent at keeping in touch and making sure we had everything we needed. I was even surprised with a birthday card and treat, which was a thoughtful gesture. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family. Cons: Nothing to complain about at all! 😊.

    This place was excellent and perfect to the Wallace monument, and I was so close to restaurants, streets, most locations, and Royal Mile.

    The location of the apartment was ideal for exploring the city, with many attractions and places to visit within walking distance. Guests praised the apartment for its cleanliness and presentation, making it a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The host was also commended for their excellent communication and accommodating nature. Additionally, the inclusion of thoughtful touches such as a birthday card and treats left for guests added a personal and welcoming touch to the experience.

    Some guests mentioned that the apartment lacked double glazing and curtains, leading to noise from the main thoroughfare being a minor inconvenience.

    Perfect location, clean and homely. Excellent communication.The apartment was well-maintained, with a luxurious kitchen and sufficient amenities.

    Traffic and parking problems in the city. Some areas of the apartment need attention, such as the stairs carpet, lighting in the second bedroom and bathroom, and a trip hazard in the kitchen.

    The location of this apartment was absolutely perfect for our Christmas stay. It was right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore and experience the festive atmosphere. The apartment itself was spacious and had all the facilities we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen with water, cereals, and biscuits provided. The view from the main bedroom was stunning, overlooking a monument that added to the charm of our stay. Communication with the host was excellent, and they were very helpful in accommodating our needs.

    While our overall experience was great, there were a few minor issues that need attention. The carpet on the stairs was worn and posed a trip hazard.

    I recently stayed at Advocates in Edinburgh for a weekend getaway with friends. The apartment was clean, spacious, and had all the facilities we needed. Its central location made it easy to explore the city, and Ivy, the host, was incredibly helpful, providing clear check-in instructions and plenty of recommendations. The little touches like shortbread, chocolate, oats, and water were a nice surprise. Ivy even accommodated our late check-out request. I would definitely choose Advocates again when I'm back in town!

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    The location was incredible, right in the heart of the city and close to all the tourist attractions. The host was also very communicative and accommodating, making sure we had all the information we needed for our stay. the apartment was spacious and clean, with a nice touch of treats left for us.

    There were a few downsides to our experience. the noise levels were quite high as the apartment was located on a busy street with no double glazing and thin curtains.

    The apartment was a great size and well presented. It had everything we needed for our Christmas stay, including water, cereals, and biscuits as a nice touch. The location was fantastic and close to all the popular attractions in the city. We also appreciated the easy communication with the owner, who was very accommodating.

    The noise level was quite high, which made it difficult to relax. The lack of double glazing and curtains didn't help with the noise from the main thoroughfare.
