Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Excellent accommodation
This is an ideal flat to book for a Wedding party. With 5 bedrooms everyone could have one with lots of space. Good sized kitchen and lounge. Full equipped and even has toiletries supplied. We had a small dog with us too and there is a great park at the bottom of the street. Peter was very good at keeping in touch with us and even offered to replace the dishwasher when we were there because it didn’t work. We were there for our daughters Wedding and the photos taken by Iris Art Photography in the largest bedroom by the window are beautiful. About a 15 mins walk to Waverley Station. Ideal location .

Owner is a nice man but not very tuned to needs of the renters.
The problems began when we had to wait nearly an hour for the owner to arrive to let us in the property even though he had been apprised of our arrival time. Then upon entering the property we encountered a broken toilet in one of only two bathrooms. The advert on Trip Advisor claimed three bathrooms. The fridge still contained old food and had not been cleaned properly. We enjoyed the neighborhood but there was limited parking for our rental car. We probably would not stay here again.

These are very helpful points. We were very glad to offer the guests a morning check in, and very disappointed to be around 30 minutes late to welcome them. The plumber turned out quickly and had the toilet working by 2pm. We have changed the ad to 2 bathrooms, as sadly I had not noticed the site said three. There is a family bathroom. an en suite shower over a bath, as well as a separate toilet. We will be supplying some toiletries in addition to the hand soap dispensers in future for guests, as kindly suggested by the guest.

Magnífica ubicación, muy amplia y Peter encantador
La casa está en un barrio muy tranquilo y bien comunicado. La parada del tranvía que te lleva hasta el aeropuerto está a 10 minutos andando. La casa es muy amplia, consta de 5 habitaciones (una de ellas con baño). La cocina está completamente equipada, calefaccion potente y salón muy cómodo. La verdad es que es muy recomendable. Peter, el anfitrión, nos esperó en la puerta de la casa a la hora acordada, y si teníamos alguna duda o ayuda, el siempre está dispuesto a ayudarte. El wifi de la casa funciona perfectamente.

Fernando and his group were a pleasure and good fun to host. They were very respectful of everyone and everything. Fernando dealt marvellously and imaginatively when a tap handle came off and water was spouting. He applied an excellent temporary strap using a thick plastic bag to stop the water, and phoned me immediately. The house was left in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend Fernando and his friends as guests. Peter

Lovely, welcomed stay
Stayed in the house for 3 nights with friends on a sightseeing trip to Edinburgh in early September. Peter was most hospitable and accommodating and made our stay welcome and enjoyable, going out of his way to make our trip the best it could be. The house was equipped with everything you would need for a stay, and was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if visiting Edinburgh! I would highly recommend to everyone!

About the neighbourhood
There is Scotland yard park at the bottom of the street with children's play areas and space to exercise and walk dogs. There is a good selection of supermarkets and shops to buy food an necessities within a few minutes walk.
Getting around
Lothian buses provide efficient and frequent buses covering the whole city and outlying areas. There are 4 different hop-on hop-off routes. There is the new tram service running east to west from nearby York Place with the last stop at Edinburgh Airport - a 40 minute journey. As the city center is quite compact taxis are reasonable. A good way to travel to the house is by black cab from the airport taking around 30 minutes and costing around £25 for a 5 or 6 seater.
